Abstract

A sighting device for a firearm accessory includes a first coupling member, a second coupling member, and a rail arrangement. The first coupling member is supported on an upper half portion of the firearm accessory. The second coupling member is supported on a lower half portion of the firearm accessory for enabling the firearm accessory to be detachably engage with a firearm rail of the firearm. The rail arrangement includes at least a mounting rail formed on one of the first coupling member and the second coupling member, wherein the mounting rail allows the firearm accessory to be mounted onto at least one additional firearm accessory so as to eliminate a need to individually attach the additional firearm accessory to the firearm.

         6 . The sighting device, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein said first coupling member further comprises a plurality of first mounting panels transversely and outwardly extended from said first tubular body at opposite sides respectively, whereas said second coupling member further comprises a plurality of second mounting panels transversely and outwardly extended from said second tubular body at opposite sides and aligned with said first mounting panels respectively, wherein said first connecting holes are spacedly formed on said first mounting panels while said second connecting holes are spacedly formed on said second mounting panels. 
     
     
         7 . The sighting device, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said second coupling member further comprises a mounting base provided at a bottom side of said second tubular body, wherein said mounting base is arranged for securely mounting onto said firearm. 
     
     
         8 . The sighting device, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first coupling member further has a plurality of first through slots formed on said first tubular body and aligned with a plurality of adjustment knobs of said firearm accessory so that said adjustment knobs is capable of being conveniently accessed even though said first coupling member is mounted on said firearm accessory. 
     
     
         9 . The sighting device, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said second coupling member further has a plurality of second through slots formed on said second tubular body and aligned with a plurality of adjustment knobs of said firearm accessory so that said adjustment knobs are capable of being conveniently accessed even though said second coupling member is mounted on said firearm accessory. 
     
     
         10 . A rail apparatus for a firearm accessory mounted on a firearm, comprising:
 a first coupling member for enclosing an upper portion of said firearm accessory;   a second coupling member for enclosing a lower portion of said firearm accessory, wherein said first and second coupling members are coupled for encircling said firearm accessory therewithin, and   a rail arrangement which comprises at least a mounting rail formed on one of said first and second coupling members, wherein said mounting rail is arranged for enabling an additional firearm accessory to be detachably mounted to said firearm accessory so as to eliminate a need to individually attach said additional firearm accessory to said firearm.   
     
     
         11 . The rail apparatus, as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said mounting rail has an indented rail configuration defining a series of through rail guiders aligned along a longitudinal direction.
