Patent attributes
A system for interchangeably mounting sighting devices on a plurality of firearms which includes one or more ring assemblies and one or more mounting assemblies. A sighting device is coupled to a mounting assembly using a ring assembly forming a mounting system. The system can then be mounted to one or more firearms using a single connector via two receptacles in the surface of the firearm. An entirely different sighting device and associated mounting system can be exchanged with the existing sighting device by removing the existing mounting system and replacing it with the new sighting device and mounting system. Each sighting device and mounting system are configured to have identical mounting assemblies that interface into standard receptacles in the firearm. In a similar manner a single sighting device and associated mounting system can be mounted on several firearms that each possess the two mounting receptacles.
