Claims
- 1. For a rifle receiver having a pistol grip and a trigger guard, where the trigger guard, having forward and rear mounting points, is mounted in a specially designed receiving trough having two opposite walls and which extends parallel to the line of the receiver to the pistol grip, the trigger guard and pistol grip not having contact each other thereby leaving a gap defined by four barriers, namely the opposite walls of the trough, the pistol grip and rear mounting point of the trigger guard, a digit support comprising:
a main body, having one exposed surface facing outward from the receiver when the body is installed, designed to fit inside the gap while abutting at least two opposite barriers defining the gap.
- 2. The digit support of claim 1, wherein the exposed surface extends beyond the level of the gap thereby supporting a user's digit away from the walls of the trough.
- 3. The digit support of claim 2, wherein the exposed surface has a slightly cylindrical curvature, said curvature having an axis parallel to the trough.
- 4. The digit support of claim 3, wherein the digit support is further secured with an adhesive.
- 5. The digit support of claim 4, wherein the material from which the digit support is made is selected from the group of materials comprising rubber, plastic, epoxy, silicone glue, wood, ferrous metal and nonferrous metal.
- 6. The digit support of claim 3, wherein the side of the main body abutting the trigger guard is concave in shape, said concavity having generally the same curvature as the trigger guard at its rear mounting point.
- 7. The digit support of claim 6, wherein the material from which the digit support is made is selected from the group of materials comprising rubber, plastic, epoxy, silicone glue, wood, ferrous metal and nonferrous metal.
- 8. The digit support of claim 2, wherein the digit support is further secured with an adhesive.
- 9. The digit support of claim 8, wherein the material from which the digit support is made is selected from the group of materials comprising rubber, plastic, epoxy, silicone glue, wood, ferrous metal and nonferrous metal.
- 10. The digit support of claim 2, wherein the side of the main body abutting the trigger guard is concave in shape, said concavity having generally the same curvature as the trigger guard at its rear mounting point.
- 11. The digit support of claim 10, wherein the material from which the digit support is made is selected from the group of materials comprising rubber, plastic, epoxy, silicone glue, wood, ferrous metal and nonferrous metal.
- 12. The digit support of claim I, wherein the digit support is further secured with an adhesive.
- 13. The digit support of claim 12, wherein the material from which the digit support is made is selected from the group of materials comprising rubber, plastic, epoxy, silicone glue, wood, ferrous metal and nonferrous metal.
- 14. The digit support of claim 1, wherein the side of the main body abutting the trigger guard is concave in shape, said concavity having generally the same curvature as the trigger guard at its rear mounting point.
- 15. The digit support of claim 14, wherein the material from which the digit support is made is selected from the group of materials comprising rubber, plastic, epoxy, silicone glue, wood, ferrous metal and nonferrous metal.
