Abstract
A firearm support is provided with a receiving and attachment means for receiving the firearm and securely holding it. The attachment means engages with the sling mount bolt of a firearm and draws the firearm and firearm support tightly but releasably together. The attachment means includes gripping arms with pins that engage a sling bore in the sling mount bolt. The attachment means also includes a fixed body or neck with an inner bore that receives the sling mount bolt and gripping arms. The inner bore has an elongate camming surface to engage an outer surface on the gripping arms for urging the pins into the sling bore and holding them in place as the gripping arms and sling mount bolt are pulled into the inner bore. The firearm support includes a telescoping leg that has an internal lock to maintain the leg in a closed or carrying position with respect to the firearm. Adjustment means are provided to position the telescoping leg substantially parallel to the barrel of the firearm when in the folded carrying position.
