Patent attributes
A firearm mount is provided including an upper handguard configured to extend above a cocking lever housing of a firearm and a receiver shroud extending rearward from the upper handguard and integrally formed with the upper handguard to form a single piece guard. The upper handguard can define a cocking lever slot and the receiver shroud can define an ejection port recess rearward of the slot. The receiver shroud can include a mounting rail, such as a picatinny rail, and opposing lateral sidewalls extending downward from the rail. The receiver shroud can simultaneously extend above a firearm receiver as the upper handguard extends above a cocking lever housing to cover an upper surface of the firearm. The guard can be secured to the firearm with opposing plugs having claws that engage ledges of the receiver to clamp the guard to the firearm. A related method of use is provided.
