Adaptable Optic Mount

Abstract

The present invention discloses an adaptable optic mount capable of maintaining proper scope alignment, e.g., eye relief and zeroed, when attaching and detaching scopes on rifles with different side rail plate dimensions, e.g., AK and SVD rifles, with an adjustable stop block with a well-defined distance between the two stop block points. The adaptable optic mount of the invention further prevents unwanted sliding when fired. The adaptable optic mount of the invention generally comprises a main body with a groove, two stop block points, an adjustable stop block, a locking mechanism, two mounting projections, and a protrusion. The two stop block points are each generally positioned at opposite distal ends of the groove of the main body, i.e., one at the rear and one at the front. The adjustable stop block can be positioned at either the rear or front of the groove of the main body, thereby enabling universal application on rifles with different side rail plate dimensions. The adjustable nature and positioning of the stop block further enables the mount to sit properly on different rails, thereby maintaining proper eye relief and without the optic losing zero while minimizing unwanted sliding when fired.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An adaptable optic mount comprising:
 a main body with a groove;   two stop block points positioned at opposite distal ends of the main body;   an adjustable stop block operably attachable and detachable at either of the two stop block points;   a locking mechanism positioned at the bottom of the main body and housed within a protrusion of the main body and a cutout of the groove, and   two mounting projections at opposite distal ends of the main body operably attachable and detachable to an optic, wherein one of the two mounting projections has a greater width than the other mounting projection.   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the main body has an elongated shape. 
     
     
         4 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the groove runs the length of the main body. 
     
     
         5 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the groove can slidably engage with a side rail plate of both an AK or SVD rifle. 
     
     
         6 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the two stop block points are each horizontally positioned within the groove at a distance of 4.4 millimeters from the respective edges of the main body. 
     
     
         7 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the two stop block points each respectively receive a screw to operably attach the adjustable stop block at either a rear or a front orientation, wherein the screw is a separate and distinct piece from the two stop block points. 
     
     
         8 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is spring-loaded and screwable into the bottom side of the groove of the main body. 
     
     
         9 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is spring-loaded and screwable into the bottom side of the groove of the main body; and
 wherein at least one screw can be tightened into the cutout of the groove to raise the locking mechanism against a side rail plate.   
     
     
         10 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is spring-loaded and screwable into the bottom side of the groove of the main body;
 wherein at least one screw can be tightened into the cutout of the groove to raise the locking mechanism against a side rail plate; and   wherein when the at least one screw is tightened into the cutout of the groove, at least one spring is compressed against the cutout of the groove.   
     
     
         11 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is a locking lever. 
     
     
         12 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is positioned on the back of the main body. 
     
     
         13 . The adaptable optic mount of  claim 1 , wherein the locking mechanism is spring-loaded and screwable into the bottom side of the groove of the main body;
 wherein at least one screw can be tightened into the cutout of the groove to raise the locking mechanism against a side rail plate;   wherein when the at least one screw is tightened into the cutout of the groove, at least one spring is compressed against the cutout of the groove; and   wherein the cutout receives the locking mechanism via at least one spring hole and at least one screw hole.
