Abstract:

A finger stop with a swivel attachment for attachment to the rail of a weapon. The finger stop is comprised, generally, of a cylinder, apparatus for attaching to a weapon rail, and a detachable sling swivel portion. Apparatus for securing the finger stop to a rail system include several types for securing to a number of different rail systems such as, e.g., Picatinny, KeyMod, and MLoc. The sling swivel mechanism is comprised generally of a swivel-able, or rotate-able, handle or extension, a protruding connecting portion for securing the sling swivel within the cylinder, and a securing portion that secures the handle in a rotate-able fashion, thereby securing the sling swivel mechanism to the finger stop. This finger stop design allows a user to minimize rail space and clutter on the weapon. This design, by reducing clutter and protuberances on the rail, helps a user increase the smoothness and flow of unslinging and general handling of the weapon.
