Firearm spade grip assembly

Abstract

A firearm spade grip assembly can comprise a firearm, paddle trigger assembly, and/or a mounting system. A paddle trigger assembly can comprise a base spanning between and comprising a base forward end and a base aft end; a paddle trigger coupled to the base; a trigger actuator coupled to the base; and/or an actuator housing coupled to and extending forward from the base, wherein the trigger actuator is disposed at least partially within the actuator housing. Movement of the paddle trigger can be configured to translate the trigger actuator. A mounting system of a firearm spade grip assembly can comprise a mounting base configured to couple to a firearm receiver base or a firearm receiver of the firearm.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A paddle trigger assembly, comprising:
 a base spanning between and comprising a base forward end and a base aft end;   a paddle trigger coupled to the base; and   a trigger actuator configured to actuate a firearm trigger of a firearm in response to translation of the trigger actuator, wherein movement of the paddle trigger is configured to translate the trigger actuator.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a paddle trigger housing coupled to the base aft end, wherein the paddle trigger is coupled to the base via the paddle trigger housing. 
     
     
         3 . A firearm spade grip assembly, comprising:
 a paddle trigger assembly configured to couple to a firearm, comprising:
 a base comprising a base forward end and a base aft end; 
 a paddle trigger coupled to the base; and 
 a trigger actuator coupled to the paddle trigger and configured to actuate the firearm in response to movement of the paddle trigger. 
   
     
     
         4 . The assembly of  claim 3 , wherein the paddle trigger assembly further comprises an actuator housing coupled to and extending forward from the base, wherein the actuator housing is configured to couple to the firearm such that a firearm trigger of the firearm is disposed at least partially in the actuator housing 
     
     
         5 . The assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the actuator housing is configured to completely enclose the firearm trigger between the firearm and the actuator housing. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 4 , further comprising a fastener disposed through a bottom surface of the actuator housing that is configured to couple the actuator housing to the firearm. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 3 , further comprising a mounting system configured to couple the firearm to a surface. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the mounting system comprises a mounting base configured to couple to a firearm receiver base or a firearm receiver of the firearm. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the mounting system further comprises a charging system coupled to the mounting base and comprising a charging block configured to couple to a charging handle of the firearm and a guiderail configured to allow the charging block to translate in an aft direction or a forward direction to charge the firearm. 
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the mounting system further comprises a brass catch coupled to the mounting base comprising a brass catch inlet and a brass catch chute, wherein the brass catch inlet is configured to align with an ejection port of the firearm, and wherein the brass catch inlet and the brass catch chute are in fluid communication. 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the mounting system further comprises a mounting support arm configured to support the mounting system, wherein the mounting support arm comprises a foundation joint and a mount joint, wherein the foundation joint is configured to allow the firearm to move about a first pivot point, and wherein the mount joint is configured to allow the firearm to move about a second pivot point. 
     
     
         12 . A mounting system for a firearm, comprising:
 a mounting base configured to couple to a firearm receiver base or a firearm receiver of the firearm;   a brass catch coupled to the mounting base comprising a brass catch inlet and a brass catch chute, wherein the brass catch inlet is configured to align with an ejection port of the firearm, and wherein the brass catch inlet and the brass catch chute are in fluid communication; and   a mounting support arm coupled to the mounting base, wherein the mounting support arm comprises a foundation joint and a mount joint, wherein the foundation joint is configured to allow the firearm to move about a first pivot point, and wherein the mount joint is configured to allow the firearm to move about a second pivot point.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , further comprising a charging system coupled to the mounting base, wherein the charging system comprises a charging block configured to couple to a charging handle of the firearm. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the charging bock comprises a charging handle receptacle configured to receive the charging handle of the firearm therein. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the charging system further comprises a guiderail configured to allow the charging block to translate in an aft direction or a forward direction to charge the firearm. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the charging system further comprises a charging block handle configured to facilitate a user gripping and moving the charging block. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the mounting base comprises one or more mounting arms protruding from a side of the mounting base, wherein the one or more mounting arms are configured to couple to the firearm. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , wherein the mounting base comprises a mounting base void between two of the one or more mounting arms, wherein the mounting base void is configured to provide clearance for the mounting support arm between the mounting base and the firearm. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the foundation joint is configured to allow the firearm to move about the first pivot point in a substantially horizontal direction. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19 , wherein the mount joint is configured to allow the firearm to move about the second pivot point in a substantially vertical direction.
