This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for a locking folding knife having a handle lock and a safety switch arranged around and rotatable around a pivot axis of the knife. In an engaged position the switch overlaps at least a portion of the handle lock and prevents it from moving into an unlocked position. A spring, such as a wire form spring, can be arranged within a pocket of the switch, and when the switch is moved between engaged and disengaged positions the spring can be compressed generating a rotational bias on the switch urging the switch toward either the engaged or disengaged position.

Disclosed is a D-ring for use in sling systems, in particular firearm slings, where quick detachment and consistent behavior of the sling are of particular importance. At least two swivel sockets are provided on opposite sides of the D-ring for ambidextrous use and slots are provided to restrict rotational movement of the attached swivels. The D-ring may be formed from a single toroid or a conglomeration of different toroidal forms.

A forend for use with a pump action firearm having a barrel with a magazine tube arranged adjacent and parallel thereto. The pump action firearm further includes an action slide assembly slidably receiving the magazine tube and the action slide assembly has a distal end and an action slide cap configured to engage the distal end of the action slide assembly. The forend comprises an elongate body having a U-shaped cross-section configured to be secured to the action slide assembly by an action slide cap engaged to a distal end of the action slide assembly. A guide defining a barrel receptacle is configured for keyed engagement to an interior of the elongate body to prevent rotational movement of the guide relative to the elongate body with the barrel receptacle facing toward the top of the U-shaped cross-section of the body. The barrel receptacle is configured to nest a radial portion of a barrel exterior, wherein the guide limits axial rotation of the forend about the magazine tube relative to the barrel.

The present invention is a fixed stock with integral storage that utilizes a cam plug inside the storage compartment to secure the stock to a firearm. In the preferred embodiment, the cam plug interfaces with the hind edge of the stock body and is therefore visible outside the stock, for a stronger and more secure hold.
