Apparatus, system, and method for a firearm conversion kit

Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed for a firearm conversion kit. The apparatus includes left and right hand portions configured to form furniture of a firearm having a trigger, a remote trigger coupled with a platform, the platform extending into a slot in at least one of the left and right hand portions, and a single linkage rod coupling the remote trigger to a trigger engagement device configured to actuate the trigger when the remote trigger is actuated.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 left and right hand portions configured to form furniture of a firearm having a firing trigger;   a remote trigger coupled with a movable platform, the platform extending into a slot in at least one of the left and right hand portions; and   a single linkage rod coupling the movable platform to a trigger engagement device configured to actuate the firing trigger when the remote trigger is actuated.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the furniture comprises a fore end and a stock end of the firearm. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a helper spring configured to return the remote trigger to a default position. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising adjustment devices coupled with the trigger engagement device and configured to adjust the position of the trigger engagement device relative to the linkage rod and the firing trigger. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a riser coupled to the single linkage rod, the riser placing the single linkage rod vertically and laterally offset from the remote trigger. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the left and right hand portions include corresponding attachment points for securely fastening the firearm between the left and right hand portions. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the left and right hand portions are formed of a rigid plastic that includes reinforcing ridges. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the left and right hand portions include separate forward and rear sections. 
     
     
         9 . A firearm comprising:
 a bolt assembly;   a trigger assembly, including a firing trigger, coupled to the bolt assembly;   a barrel coupled to the bolt assembly;   a magazine removably connected to the bolt assembly;   left and right hand portions configured to form furniture of the firearm having a firing trigger;   a remote trigger coupled with a movable platform, the platform extending into a slot in at least one of the left and right hand portions; and   a single linkage rod coupling the movable platform to a trigger engagement device configured to actuate the firing trigger when the remote trigger is actuated.   
     
     
         10 . The firearm of  claim 9 , wherein the furniture comprises a fore end and a stock end of the firearm. 
     
     
         11 . The firearm of  claim 9 , further comprising a helper spring configured to return the remote trigger to a default position. 
     
     
         12 . The firearm of  claim 9 , further comprising adjustment devices coupled with the trigger engagement device and configured to adjust the position of the trigger engagement device relative to the linkage rod and the firing trigger. 
     
     
         13 . The firearm of  claim 9 , further comprising a riser coupled to the single linkage rod, the riser placing the single linkage rod vertically and laterally offset from the remote trigger. 
     
     
         14 . The firearm of  claim 9 , wherein the left and right hand portions include corresponding attachment points for securely fastening the firearm between the left and right hand portions. 
     
     
         15 . The firearm of  claim 9 , wherein the left and right hand portions are formed of a rigid plastic that includes reinforcing ridges. 
     
     
         16 . The firearm of  claim 9 , wherein the left and right hand portions include separate forward and rear sections. 
     
     
         17 . A method for converting a firearm, the method comprising:
 removing the original furniture of the firearm;   disposing the firearm between left and right hand portions configured to form furniture of a firearm having a firing trigger;   connecting a remote trigger to the firing trigger by means of a linkage assembly; and   fastening the firearm between the left and right hand portions by attachment means using attachment points disposed on the firearm furniture.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the linkage assembly includes a helper spring configured to return the remote trigger to a resting position and adjustment devices for adjusting the fore and aft position of the remote trigger. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the linkage assembly includes adjustment devices coupled with the trigger engagement and configured to adjust the position of the trigger engagement device relative to the linkage rod and the firing trigger. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the linkage assembly comprises one or more of a single component and individual elements that form the linkage assembly when assembled.
