ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a mounting apparatus for releasably securing an accessory to a firearm. The mounting apparatus includes a coupler connectable to the accessory and having a tapered plug with a slot that extends inward from an outer wall of the plug. The apparatus further includes a support base with an internal cavity extending between opposed side walls of the base. The support base has an aperture with an internal wall arrangement including an orifice wherein the aperture is dimensioned for reception of the plug. A keeper is slidably positioned within the internal cavity and has a finger that extends through the orifice and into the slot to retain the plug within the aperture. The apparatus is moveable between a secured position wherein the keeper finger extends through the orifice and into the slot of the plug positioned within the aperture, a released position wherein the keeper finger is disengaged from the orifice, and a detached position wherein the coupler and the accessory are removed from the base by applying a vertical lifting force.
