ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a universal gun sight mount, which is readily adjustable for firing at certain ranges.
There are electronic and optical gun sights available on the market. However, none of these sights has a quick range adjustment; a user has to “sight in” the gun sight for a particular distance, and for any other distance, the user has to “judge” up or down on the target to hit at the desired point.
This is especially hard for law enforcement personnel, who have to hit a target at quickly changing distances and at specific points with “less lethal munitions”.
The object of this invention is to provide a simple, universal gun sight mount, which allows a quick and accurate adjustment of the sight for quickly changing conditions.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In a gun sight mount including a base for mounting on a weapon, a universal mounting rail is pivotally mounted on one end of the base whose opposite end is provided with means for quickly adjusting the sight mounting rail to different predetermined stops for predetermined distances based on the weapon and munitions being fired from that weapon.
The universal gun sight mount is intended mainly for large-caliber, low-velocity weapons and munitions, e.g.—37 mm and 40 mm, and a variety of launchers and munitions available for use by law enforcement and military personnel.
The mount is fitted on top of a gun, usually onto the frame or barrel of the gun. The sight, particularly a gun sight that is an electronic or a “red dot” sight, fits onto a universal standard rail mounted on the base. The user will “sight in” the weapon at 20 meters. If the target is out to 50 meters, the user can quickly adjust the sight to 50 meters. The user quickly adjusts the sight by pulling out a locking knob and adjusting levers for moving the rail to the desired range.
