ABSTRACT:
The lightweight stock and frame construction for a firearm involves replacing a substantial portion of the side walls of the metal frame with forwardly extending portions of the side walls of the wooden or plastic stock. Specifically, the right hand and left hand sides of the stock are provided with right and left hand side wall extensions that extend forwardly from the forward end of the stock on each side thereof, and the right and left hand side walls of the frame are formed with openings conforming in shape to and adapted snugly to receive the said forwardly extending side wall extensions of the stock. The peripheries of the right hand and the left hand side wall extensions of the stock are each formed with an inwardly rising bevelled surface, and the peripheries of the right hand and the left hand side wall openings of the frame are each formed with an inwardly undercut bevelled surface that is adapted to contact snugly the inwardly rising bevelled surface of the periphery of the corresponding side wall extension of the stock. Inner support members are disposed on the inside surface of both the right and left hand side walls of the frame adjacent the forward ends of the right and left hand openings formed therein, these support members being adapted to contact and support the inner surfaces of the right hand and left hand side wall extensions of the stock at the forward ends thereof.
