Firearm stock and grip

Abstract

A firearm grip includes first and second ends, a gap between the first and second ends, and a bolt aperture extending from the first end to the gap. The first end receives a firearm receiver. The bolt aperture receives a bolt to attach the firearm grip to the firearm receiver. The gap may be a thumbhole. The bolt aperture may extend through an upper portion of the firearm grip. A method of assembling a firearm includes positioning a firearm receiver adjacent to a first end of a firearm grip and positioning a bolt within a bolt aperture of the firearm grip. The bolt extends into the firearm receiver. The firearm receiver may be a shotgun receiver. The bolt may be inserted into the bolt aperture through a gap in the firearm grip. The bolt may be countersunk within a surface of the gap.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A firearm grip comprising:
 a first end configured to receive a firearm receiver;   a second end;   a gap positioned between the first end and the second end; and   a bolt aperture extending from the first end to the gap, wherein the bolt aperture is configured to receive a bolt to attach the firearm grip to the firearm receiver.   
     
     
         2 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein the gap is a thumbhole. 
     
     
         3 . The firearm grip of  claim 2 , wherein the thumbhole opens upward. 
     
     
         4 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein the bolt aperture extends through an upper portion of the firearm grip. 
     
     
         5 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , wherein the second end is configured to attach to a firearm stock. 
     
     
         6 . The firearm grip of  claim 1 , further comprising a bolt positioned in the bolt aperture, the bolt being countersunk within a surface of the gap. 
     
     
         7 . A method of assembling a firearm, the method comprising:
 positioning a firearm receiver adjacent to a first end of a firearm grip, the firearm grip comprising the first end, a second end, a gap positioned between the first end and the second end, and a bolt aperture extending from the first end to the gap; and   positioning a bolt within the bolt aperture, the bolt extending through the bolt aperture and into the firearm receiver.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the bolt is inserted into the bolt aperture through the gap. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the gap is a thumbhole. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the bolt is countersunk within a surface of the gap. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the bolt aperture extends through an upper portion of the firearm grip. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising attaching a firearm stock to the second end of the firearm grip. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the firearm receiver is a shotgun receiver. 
     
     
         14 . A firearm comprising:
 a firearm grip having:
 a first end; 
 a second end; 
 a gap positioned between the first end and the second end; and 
 a bolt aperture extending from the first end to the gap; 
   a firearm receiver; and   a bolt extending through the bolt aperture and into the firearm receiver.   
     
     
         15 . The firearm of  claim 14 , wherein the gap is a thumbhole. 
     
     
         16 . The firearm of  claim 15 , wherein the thumbhole opens upward. 
     
     
         17 . The firearm of  claim 14 , wherein the bolt aperture extends through an upper portion of the firearm grip. 
     
     
         18 . The firearm of  claim 14 , further comprising a firearm stock attached to the second end. 
     
     
         19 . The firearm of  claim 14 , wherein the bolt is countersunk within a surface of the gap. 
     
     
         20 . The firearm of  claim 14 , wherein the firearm receiver is a shotgun receiver.
