Abstract
A latch for securing a buttstock to a receiver of a firearm. The buttstock has at least one compartment configured to receive a spare magazine. The latch comprises a shaft, a lever, a first spring, and a second spring. The shaft moves along a first axis within the buttstock and is biased by the first spring to engage with a recess in a receiver of the firearm. The lever extends along a second axis transverse to the first axis and is positioned between the buttstock and an end of the shaft. The second spring biases the lever toward the buttstock. The lever includes a projection configured to extend through an opening in the buttstock and engage with the spare magazine. The lever is pivotable and is configured to release the magazine when the lever is pivoted in a first direction.
