North Carolina Patent of the Month – May 2025
Arisaka LLC, based in Apex, North Carolina, has earned U.S. Patent No. 12298100 for a bold new take on firearm accessory mounting. The invention, titled ‘Firearm accessory configured for attachment to a rail system’, allows users to secure gear to a firearm with improved speed, strength, and reliability. It’s designed to work with standard Picatinny rails and aims to raise the bar for modular weapon systems.
Precision Mounting for Demanding Environments
The patented system includes two parallel side members that grip the rail. A central recoil lug extends into the rail slots using a simple threaded fastener. This creates a secure, low-profile mount that resists movement under recoil. It ensures accessories stay locked in place even under high-stress use.
Fast, Tool-Free Attachment
What sets this design apart is its user-friendly setup. A single fastener allows the recoil lug to be extended or retracted quickly. Users can mount or remove the accessory in seconds—without tools—making it ideal for dynamic field environments or high-tempo tactical shifts.
Built for Versatility
The mounting platform supports a wide range of tactical gear, including optics, lights, and bipods. Its compact and rugged design allows it to adapt to different firearms without sacrificing performance or weight.
With this latest patent, Arisaka LLC continues to deliver meaningful innovation for defense and civilian firearms markets alike.
