A grip and folding stock assembly mounted and arranged on a compact gun for facilitating use of the gun in various firing positions. An L-shaped bracket has one end secured to the distal end of a pistol grip emanating from the undersurface of the receiver of the gun, and the other end secured to the undersurface of the rearward end of the receiver. Mounted in this way, the bracket defines a forearm receiving portion for stabilizing the gun while firing. A folding stock is pivotally mounted to the rearward end of the receiver of the weapon. The stock is operative between three positions. In a first position, the stock is folded and brought into close proximity to the pistol grip. In a second position, the stock is placed into a position suitable for shoulder firing. In a third position, the stock is placed into a position suitable for underarm firing. A cartridge magazine of improved construction fits within the pistol grip. A trigger guard is provided just ahead of the pistol grip and completely surrounds and protects the trigger of the weapon. A handgrip forms part of the trigger guard. The handgrip performs the simultaneous functions of defining a portion of the trigger guard and providing a grip for holding the gun during firing.

Grip and stock assembly for facilitating use of a compact gun

A grip and folding stock assembly mounted and arranged on a compact gun for facilitating use of the gun in various firing positions. The grip and folding stock assembly is employed with a weapon that generally has an elongated receiver. An L-shaped bracket has one end secured to the distal end of a pistol grip emanating from the undersurface of the receiver, and the other end secured to the undersurface of the rearward end of the receiver. Mounted in this way, the bracket defines a forearm receiving portion for stabilizing the gun while firing. A folding stock is pivotally mounted to the rearward end of the receiver of the weapon. The stock is operative between two extreme positions. In a first position, the stock is folded and brought into close proximity to the pistol grip. In a second position, the stock is placed into a position suitable for shoulder firing. In one embodiment of the subject invention, the L-shaped bracket is eliminated and the stock is suitably configured to stabilize the gun in the manner previously discussed with regard to the forearm receiving portion of the L-shaped bracket. A trigger guard is provided just ahead of the pistol grip and completely surrounds and protects the trigger of the weapon. A handgrip forms part of the trigger guard. The handgrip performs the simultaneous functions of defining a portion of the trigger guard and providing a grip for holding the gun during firing.

Disclosed is a semi-automatic firearm which has a configuration generally similar to a known form of submachine gun insofar as it comprises an elongate receiver, a pistol grip extending downwardly from the receiver and forming a housing for a cartridge magazine and a trigger mechanism and sear located forwardly of the pistol grip. The firearm operates on the blowback principle with closed breech type operation and employs a slidable bolt and separate slidable firing pin striker mechanism within the receiver, with the bolt being freely slidable and the sear operating on the striker mechanism. The trigger mechanism only has a semi-automatic and a safety setting and the bolt face has a feed lip of a design which causes the firearm intentionally to jam under certain abnormal operating conditions.
