FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to guns and more particularly to devices, systems and methods of using and installing an accessory mount having a Picatinny rail onto a fore grip/gun handle, where the mount can support a light, laser or accessory
directly from the fore grip/gun handle.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
Vertical fore grips have become popular with firearms, such as rifles. The fore grips allow the operator a handle to both support and help aim the firearm at a target. Fore grips have included standard elongated handles, that can have
generally cylindrical gripping portions that can be fixed to the firearms, and the fore grips have included removable handles that can attach beneath rail type brackets underneath the firearms.
In addition to elongated handles, vertical fore grips have included other variations such as bipods that can also be fixably attached to the firearms, and be removably attached to the rail type brackets . . . . More |

Devices, and methods of attaching accessory mounts to vertical fore grip
handles on firearms, such as rifles. The accessory mounts can be molded
to extend off of the handles. The accessory mounts can attach to the
handles by interlocking plugs and slots. The accessory mount can have
rails so that an accessory can attach to the rails on the accessory
mount. The accessory can include lights, lasers, bayonets, sights,
scopes, and the like. The vertical fore grip can be an elongated handle
fixed to the firearm. The vertical fore grip can be an elongated handle
that is detachable from beneath rails on the firearm. The vertical fore
grip can include expandable bipod legs.
