         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the rail mount further comprises a through hole configured to receive a screw or a bolt configured to further secure the apparatus to the rail of the firearm. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the through hole is arranged in parallel to the cylindrical cavity of each of the plurality of receptacles and a portion of the through hole overlaps with the cutout section of the rail mount. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the rail mount further comprises a hexagonal cutout adjacent to an end of the through hole configured to receive a hexagonal nut configured to secure the screw or bolt to the rail mount. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the mounting section comprises a surface including one or more projections arranged thereon configured to engage one or more mounts on the rail of the firearm. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the rail mount further comprises a through hole configured to receive a screw or a bolt configured to further secure the apparatus to the rail of the firearm, wherein the through hole is arranged perpendicular to an orientation of the cylindrical cavity of each of the plurality of receptacles. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the cylindrical cavity of each of the plurality of receptacles comprises a female threaded section adjacent to the second open end, and the removable cap comprises a male threaded section configured to engage the cylindrical cavity. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the removable cap comprises a base section configured to engage the second open end of the cylindrical cavity of each of the plurality of receptacles, wherein the base section comprises an O-ring configured to be received in the second open end of the cylindrical cavity. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the base section of the removable cap comprises a bottom surface comprising padding. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the removable cap comprises an upper section including a slot arranged therein configured to receive a head of a screwdriver. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the cylindrical cavity of each of the plurality of receptacles is dimensioned to receive and hold a cylindrical battery, the cylindrical battery being a replacement battery for use with a firearm component. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the mounting section comprises a cutout section having a first open end and a second open end, the cutout section configured to slide onto a section of the rail of the firearm. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the rail mount further comprises a through hole configured to receive a screw or a bolt configured to further secure the apparatus to the rail of the firearm.
