Stock Mounted Load Bearing Assembly

Abstract

The invention is an improved load bearing arrangement for use with firearms. The system comprises a cylindrical body with a sealing cap, mounting structure on the body including a plurality of mounting tabs and a “T” rail with matching structure on the stock. The mounting tabs are only partially fastened on the body so as to form hooks which will secure the body from behind the structure on the stock. The “T” rail interfaces with a corresponding notch on the rear of the stock and is secured with the stock's butt pad. A water-tight cap is also provided, which is also capable of removal and replacement without removing the remaining structure from the stock.

1 . A load bearing attachment system for a rifle comprising:
 a. a hollow cylindrical body, with an open back end, further comprising
 i. a plurality of mounting tabs, only partially attached to the body along their length, thereby forming hooks; 
 ii. a “T” shaped rail proximate the back end of the body; and 
   b. a sealing cap shaped and sized to be inserted in the open back end;   wherein the mounting tabs and “T” rail interface with complimentary structure on a stock.   
   
   
       2 . The storage system of  claim 1 , the sealing cap being made of a material selected from the group of materials consisting of rubber, plastic, and silicone.
