Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a modular rifle stock and a modular rifle stock for accommodating further firearm components to form a firearm or a rifle.
- a stock of a rifle or a long gun is functionally primarily provided for connecting the other main assemblies of the corresponding weapon system and as a handling or gripping option and support.
- rifle stocks are usually either made in one piece, such as in the case of a bolt-action rifle, or the long weapon has a forearm and a structurally separate buttstock, such as in the case of a break-open weapon.
- a stock or fore-end and rear stock must be adapted to the remaining assemblies of a respective weapon system.
- a disadvantage in this context is the poor production efficiency caused by the respectively required adaptation of a stock or the stock parts to a weapon system, which in particular leads to high production costs.
- a firearm which comprises a multi-part stock system, in particular a front stock, a central stock and a stock.
- the three-part shape of the stock enables a change between different housings, in particular housing sizes and calibres, while reusing the fore-end and rear stock, with only the middle part having to be adapted to different housings.
- the three shaft parts of the DE 10 2015 106 291 A1 are connected to each other via plug-in screw connections, so that their connection can be released to change the housing and another central stock can be connected to the stock and forestock.
- such a design of a rifle stock has proven to be disadvantageous in terms of long-term stability and resistance to deformation, in particular warping and damage. This is especially the case when a rifle is used heavily comprising such a shaft system with detachable plug-in screw connections, also due to the high mechanical stress when firing the rifle.
- the object of the present invention was to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art that still exist and to provide a method by means of which a method- and cost-efficient production of a rifle stock, in particular with a low weight, is made possible, and yet a high long-term (shape) stability and resistance to deformation and damage to the rifle stock.
- the object of the invention was to provide a rifle stock that is particularly light in weight, which can be produced in a process-efficient and cost-efficient manner and nevertheless has high long-term stability and resistance to deformation and damage.
- the process for manufacturing a modular or composite rifle stock includes: Production of several stock parts comprising a butt stock, a fore stock and at least one middle stock adapter, positioning the stock parts relative to each other in a joining position or connecting position, and connecting the stock parts in the joining position.
- all shaft parts are made from a material that includes plastic.
- One or more center shaft adapters can be manufactured here. At least some shaft parts to be connected are connected to one another in a material-locking or material-locking manner and not detachably or not detachably detachably.
- all shaft parts that are to be rigidly connected to one another can be connected to one another in a materially bonded and non-detachable manner.
- one center stock adapter can be connected to the rear stock and the second center stock adapter, and the second center stock adapter can also be connected to the forearm.
- center stock adapters can also be produced and connected to one another or at least one of the center stock adapters can be connected to the butt stock and another of the center stock adapters can be connected to at least the fore stock.
- the person skilled in the art can produce a suitable number of center stock adapters in a suitable design and connect them to one another and to the other stock parts.
- a connection, in particular a materially bonded connection, of the individual shaft parts can in principle take place simultaneously or also in a sequential order. It can therefore be provided that all shaft parts are brought into the joining position and connected at the same time, or that individual shaft parts are first connected to one another in a joining position and such a shaft part assembly is then connected to one or more other shaft parts.
- a modular rifle stock can be produced in a process-economical and cost-efficient manner by the specified measures.
- the butt stock and the fore stock can be manufactured in large numbers in a cost-effective manner, and an adaptation to a respective (desired) weapon system can be carried out simply by individually manufacturing the central stock adapter or adapters.
- different bedding surfaces and, if necessary, pockets for bedding or connection of the respective weapon system can be designed on the central stock adapter(s).
- the central stock adapter or adapters can be designed to connect the universal stock parts, which can therefore be manufactured in the same way for different weapon systems, namely stock and forestock.
- the stock and the fore-end can be made, for example, by injection moulding.
- the rifle stock or a long gun equipped with such a rifle stock can be given improved long-term stability or long-term dimensional stability and high resistance to deformation, distortion and damage.
- the assembled rifle stock due to the cohesive, non-detachable Connection of the shaft parts can be given a high level of shock resistance, which is particularly beneficial when firing shots frequently, i.e. when the long gun equipped with the rifle stock is used frequently, and thus high reliability is provided over a long period of time.
- a rifle stock with a relatively low weight can also be provided by the specified measures.
- shape-complementary connecting segments are formed at the end regions of two shaft parts to be cohesively connected, via which shape-complementary connecting segments the relevant shaft parts are glued together.
- One of the respective shape-complementary connection segments can be configured on one of the shaft parts, and the other connection segment, which has a complementary shape thereto, can be configured on another shaft part to be connected to this shaft part.
- Connecting the shaft parts by gluing correspondingly shaped, shape-complementary connecting segments represents a process- and cost-efficient connection method, through which a (dimensionally) stable and reliably durable connection of the shaft parts can nevertheless be provided.
- corresponding joining surfaces are formed on the respective shape-complementary connecting segments of two shaft parts to be connected in a materially joined manner, which joining surfaces are arranged facing one another in the joining position in such a way that a receiving space is formed between the joining surfaces, which receiving space is formed in the course of the connection filled with a curable adhesive and the adhesive is cured.
- shape-complementary connecting segments of two shaft parts to be connected in a materially bonded manner are formed in such a way that a first connecting segment is opposite to the immediately adjacent one
- the shank section of the corresponding shank part has a tapered section or region with an outward-facing joint surface
- the second connection segment which is complementary in shape to this, has an inward-pointed joint surface, with the tapered section of the first connection segment protruding into the second connection segment and the second connection segment in the joining position encases the tapered section of the first connecting segment, the receiving space being formed between the outward-pointing joining surface of the first connecting segment and the inward-pointing joining surface of the second connecting segment, which receiving space is filled with the hardenable adhesive during the course of the connection and the adhesive is hardened.
- a particularly durable, dimensionally stable and deformation-resistant connection of shaft parts can be provided by this design of shape-complementary connecting segments.
- the receiving space for the adhesive can also be referred to as a cavity, intermediate space or joining space.
- any adhesive suitable for joining the shaft part materials can be used as the adhesive.
- a 2-component adhesive comprising a crosslinkable or curable, functionalized resin and a hardener for the resin is preferably used as the adhesive.
- a resin functionalized with epoxy groups can be used as the curable resin.
- connecting segments with complementary shapes or their joining surfaces can in principle be carried out in a variety of ways, with a basic geometric shape or cross-sectional shape of connecting segments with complementary shapes being of course essentially dictated by the basic shape of the shaft parts in question in the area or adjacent to a connecting segment.
- the fore-end and a central stock adapter to be connected to it can be designed in the area of the connecting segments, for example for embedding or supporting a gun barrel and for gripping or holding the gun by a shooter, and the respective, shape-complementary connecting segments can at least largely have a corresponding cross-sectional or have basic form.
- the connecting segments per se can be designed, for example, in the form of simple longitudinal connections with joining surfaces that are opposite one another and spaced apart from one another.
- other or additional versions of geometrically shaped connections are also conceivable in the case of two connection segments with complementary shapes, for example in the form of a so-called blade joint connection.
- Elements of two connecting segments with complementary shapes can also be designed for form-fitting interlocking, such as in the manner of a dovetail connection.
- connection segments with complementary shapes can be connected, for example, by applying a hardenable adhesive to a joining surface of a connection segment and bringing it into the joining position and joining with the connection segment that has a complementary shape in each case.
- the hardenable adhesive can also be applied to both joining surfaces of two connecting segments with complementary shapes and then the corresponding shaft parts can be joined in the joining position while the adhesive hardens.
- an adhesive channel or several adhesive channels can preferably be formed in the course of the production of the upper parts, such that the adhesive channel or the adhesive channels opens into the receiving space in the joining position, wherein in the joining position, the adhesive is filled into the receiving space via the adhesive channel or via the adhesive channels.
- This procedure represents an embodiment of the method that is particularly reliable in terms of execution, since the adhesive can be filled into the receiving space via the adhesive channel or channels in the case of shaft parts that are already pre-positioned. In this way, the receiving space and the adhesive channel or channels can be filled as completely as possible, so that the connected stock parts of the fully assembled rifle stock do not have any defects and therefore no weak points in the area of the connecting segments.
- this embodiment represents a process-efficient variant, since the adhesive can be injected or injected into the adhesive channel or channels from the outside in a manner that is easy to carry out and also as error-free as possible.
- reinforcing rods are inserted into the adhesive channels after they have been filled with the adhesive and before the adhesive has hardened.
- the reinforcing rods can essentially be made from the same material or material comprising plastic as the shaft parts.
- the reinforcing rods can be of essentially cylindrical design, with fundamentally different cross-sectional shapes being possible, for example oval or circular, cuboid, square or triangular cross-sectional shapes.
- a longitudinal extent of a reinforcement bar can at least essentially correspond to a longitudinal extent of the corresponding adhesive channel into which the relevant reinforcement bar is inserted.
- connection segment on each of the shaft parts that is provided for connection to another, shape-complementary connecting segment, so that a connection is produced between the individual shaft parts.
- connection to one or more shaft parts via the two or more connection segments can contribute to increasing the dimensional stability.
- middle stock adapter is connected to the buttstock, another middle stock adapter to the forearm and each middle stock adapter to a different middle stock adapter.
- this method allows the method to be used to produce rifle stocks for all common weapon systems.
- the center shaft adapter or adapters can be produced by means of an additive manufacturing process, in particular by means of 3D printing.
- center shaft adapter or adapters can also be produced by means of resin injection processes.
- the specified production methods enable an individual production of central stock adapters in a particularly efficient manner, and thus an easily adaptable production of rifle stocks for a wide variety of weapon types.
- the shaft parts are predominantly formed by fiber-reinforced plastic material with a weight proportion of fibers of 20% by weight to 80% by weight.
- all common, natural or synthetic reinforcing fibers can be used as fibers, such as polyester fibers, polyamide fibers, glass fibers, but also, for example, hemp fibers.
- Carbon fibers can preferably be used to produce the shaft parts and optionally also reinforcement rods.
- the shaft parts can preferably be formed by fiber-reinforced plastic material with a weight proportion of fibers of 40% by weight to 70% by weight.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by a rifle stock of modular construction or assembly, which rifle stock is provided for the connection of further firearm components to form a firearm or long gun or rifle.
- the rifle stock can be produced in particular by means of the above method, exclusively or including the method variants mentioned.
- the rifle stock comprises a number of stock parts that are manufactured separately and then connected, including a rear stock, a forestock and at least one center stock adapter.
- All stock parts of the rifle stock consist of a material comprising plastic and at least some stock parts to be connected are connected to one another in a materially bonded and non-detachable or non-destructively detachable manner.
- all shaft parts that are to be rigidly connected to one another can be connected to one another in a materially bonded and non-detachable manner.
- An advantage of this modular design is the possible, simple adjustment and use of the rifle stock for different weapon types or weapon systems, for example different versions of a rifle, such as a bolt-action rifle, single-shot rifle or shotgun and so on. This is because, in order to adapt to a specific weapon system, only the central stock adapter or adapters has to be varied. This also enables the rifle stock to be manufactured in a process- and cost-efficient manner.
- the rifle stock designed in this way has good long-term stability or long-term dimensional stability and high resistance to deformation, distortion and damage.
- the modular or assembled rifle stock is characterized by a high level of shock resistance due to the integral, non-detachable connection of the stock parts, which is particularly beneficial when firing shots frequently, i.e. when the long gun equipped with the rifle stock is used frequently, and thus a high reliability over a long period of time.
- the rifle stock has a relatively low weight.
- the rifle stock can only include a structurally separately manufactured central stock adapter which is connected to both the buttstock and the forestock.
- a rifle stock can also have two center stock adapters, for example, with one center stock adapter being able to be connected to the rear stock and the second center stock adapter, and the second center stock adapter also being able to be connected to the front stock.
- two central stock adapters it can also be expedient, for example depending on the geometric design, if one of the two central stock adapters is connected to both the rear stock and the forestock and the second central stock adapter.
- center stock adapters can also be produced and connected to one another or at least one of the center stock adapters can be connected to the butt stock and another of the center stock adapters can be connected to at least the fore stock.
- the rifle stock can also have more than two center stock adapters, which can each be connected to other stock parts in a wide variety of ways.
- the number of center stock adapters and their connection to each other and to the other stock parts can be made primarily on the basis of the requirements of the firearm or rifle to be equipped with the rifle stock or the corresponding physical configuration of the stock parts.
- materially connected shaft parts can be glued via connecting segments formed on the end regions of the shaft parts, wherein the connecting segments of two shaft parts connected to one another can each be formed with complementary shapes.
- One of the respective shape-complementary connection segments can be configured on one of the shaft parts, and the other connection segment, which has a complementary shape thereto, can be configured on another shaft part to be connected to this shaft part.
- This design allows a rifle stock to be provided with a (dimensionally) stable and reliably durable connection of the individual stock parts.
- corresponding joining surfaces can be formed on the respective shape-complementary connecting segments of two materially connected stock parts, between which joining surfaces a receiving space is formed, which receiving space is filled with a hardened adhesive.
- the connecting segments of two stock parts that are materially joined to one another, which are complementary in shape are designed in such a way that a first connecting segment has a section or area that is tapered compared to the immediately adjacent stock section of the corresponding stock part, with a joint surface pointing outwards and the second connecting segment, which is complementary in shape thereto, has an inwardly pointing joining surface, the receiving space being formed between these two joining surfaces, which receiving space is filled with the hardened adhesive.
- the receiving space filled with the adhesive can also be referred to as a cavity or joining space.
- the adhesive can be formed by any adhesive suitable for joining the shaft part materials.
- the adhesive can preferably be formed by a 2-component adhesive.
- the adhesive can be formed by a functionalized resin cured by means of a hardener or crosslinking agent, preferably by an epoxy duroplastic.
- the connecting segments can be designed, for example, in the form of simple longitudinal connections with joining surfaces that are opposite one another and are spaced apart from one another. In principle, however, other or additional configurations of geometric shape connections are also possible in the case of two connection segments with complementary shapes, for example in the form of a so-called blade butt connection. In addition, elements of two connection segments with complementary shapes can also be designed for form-fitting engagement with one another, such as in the manner of a dovetail connection.
- an adhesive channel or several adhesive channels is or are formed in at least one of two connecting segments with complementary shapes, which adhesive channel or adhesive channels opens into the receiving space, and which adhesive channel or adhesive channels at least partially with cured adhesive is or are filled.
- a reinforcement rod can be arranged in each of these adhesive channels.
- the reinforcing rods can essentially be made from the same material or material comprising plastic as the shaft parts.
- the reinforcing rods can be essentially cylindrical, with fundamentally different cross-sectional shapes being possible, for example oval or circular, cuboid, square or triangular cross-sectional shapes.
- a longitudinal extent of a reinforcement bar can at least essentially correspond to a longitudinal extent of the corresponding adhesive channel into which the relevant reinforcement bar is inserted.
- the shaft parts can each be connected via only one connection or adhesive bond formed by two connection segments of complementary shape.
- Such an embodiment variant of the rifle stock can be advantageous above all with certain stock part geometries, such as when the rear stock is designed as a so-called thumbhole stock.
- the following connection to one or more shaft parts via the two or more connection segments can contribute to increasing the dimensional stability.
- the rifle stock can be provided with two or more center stock adapters, one center stock adapter being connected to the buttstock, another center stock adapter to the forearm and the center stock adapters each being connected to a different center stock adapter.
- the stock parts of the gun stock can consist predominantly of fiber-reinforced plastic material with a weight proportion of fibers of 20% by weight to 80% by weight.
- the reinforcing fibers can be formed by all common, natural or synthetic reinforcing fibers, such as polyester or polyamide fibers, glass fibers, but also, for example, hemp fibers.
- the fiber reinforcement can preferably be formed by carbon fibers.
- the shaft parts can preferably be formed by fiber-reinforced plastic material with a weight proportion of fibers of 40% by weight to 70% by weight.

- a basic geometric shape or cross-sectional shape of the respective connecting segments 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 can of course correspond to the basic geometric configuration or cross-sectional shape in this end area of the corresponding shaft part 2, 3, 4, 5, at least in Essentially match how this is mainly based 2 is clearly recognizable.
- the forearm 2 and the center stock adapter 3 are off 2 and 1 in the area of the connecting segments in detail and enlarged again in an exploded view, i.e. shown in the unconnected state.
- corresponding joining surfaces 15, 16 can be formed on the respective shape-complementary connecting segments 7, 8 of two stock parts to be connected in a materially bonded manner, here the fore-end 2 and rear stock 3, which are intended for gluing together.
- These joining surfaces 15, 16 can be arranged facing one another in the joining position such that a receiving space 17 is formed between the joining surfaces 15, 16.
- a corresponding receiving space 17 formed between the joining surfaces 15 and 16 in the joining position can be seen primarily from the perspective sectional view in FIG figure 5 can be seen, and can be achieved by forming the joining surfaces 15, 16 in such a way that the joining surfaces 15, 16 are at least slightly spaced apart from one another in the joining position.
- a between mating surfaces 15, 16 in the joining position formed receiving space 17 can also be referred to as a joining space or intermediate space or cavity.
- FIG. 5 Those of the sectional view in figure 5 and also Fig.6 underlying interface is through the in the 1 illustrated cutting plane 18 marked.

- the receiving space 17 is filled with a hardenable adhesive 19 and the adhesive 19 is hardened.
- a rifle stock 1 can therefore have corresponding joining surfaces 15, 16 on the respective shape-complementary connecting segments 7, 8 of two stock parts which are materially connected to one another, in this case fore-end 2 and central stock adapter 3, between which joining surfaces 15, 16 a receiving space 17 is formed, which receiving space 17 is filled with a hardened adhesive 19 .
- any adhesive suitable for joining the shaft part materials can be used as the adhesive.
- the adhesive can preferably be formed by a 2-component adhesive.
- the adhesive can be formed by a functionalized resin that can be cured by means of a hardener or crosslinking agent.
- a resin functionalized with epoxy groups can be used, so that the cured adhesive can be formed by an epoxy thermoset.
- each form-complementary connecting segment 7, 8 of two stock parts 2, 3 to be connected in a materially joined manner here for example a fore-end 2 and central stock adapter 3, can be designed in such a way that a first connecting segment 8 is a section that is tapered compared to the immediately adjacent stock section of the corresponding stock part 3 20 with an outwardly pointing joining surface 16, and the second connecting segment 7, which is complementary in shape thereto, has an inwardly pointing joining surface 15.
- the tapered portion 20 of the first connecting segment 8 protrude into the second connecting segment 7 and the second connecting segment 7 encase the tapered portion 20 of the first connecting segment 8, as is also from the figure 5 is evident.

- Shape-complementary connecting segments 7, 8; 9, 10; 11, 12; 13, 14 can be designed, for example, in the form of simple longitudinal connections with mutually opposite and spaced-apart joining surfaces. In principle, however, other or additional versions of geometrical form connections are also possible in the case of two connection segments 7, 8; 9, 10; 11, 12; 13, 14 conceivable, for example in the form of a so-called sheet butt joint.
- elements of two complementary connecting segments 7, 8; 9, 10; 11, 12; 13, 14 can also be configured for interlocking engagement, such as in the manner of a dovetail joint.
- a cohesive connection of two form-complementary connection segments 7, 8; 9, 10; 11, 12; 13, 14 can be done, for example, by applying a hardenable adhesive 19 to a joining surface 16, 22 of a connecting segment 8, 9 and bringing it into the joining position and joining with the connecting segment 7, 10 of complementary shape.
- the hardenable adhesive can also be applied to both joining surfaces of two connecting segments with complementary shapes and then the corresponding shaft parts can be joined in the joining position while the adhesive hardens.
- an adhesive channel 23 or several adhesive channels 23 are formed in at least one of two connecting segments 7, 8; 9, 10; 11, 12; 13, 14 .
- Corresponding adhesive channels 23 are, for example, in the 1 , 2 , 4 and 5 evident.
- an adhesive channel 23 or the adhesive channels 23 can open into the receiving space 17 in the joining position, so that the adhesive 19 can be filled into the receiving space 17 via the adhesive channel 23 or via the adhesive channels 23 in the joining position.
- the adhesive 19 can be introduced or injected into the adhesive channels from the outside, for example by means of feeds equipped with injection nozzles, such as hoses or pipes.
- reinforcing rods 24 can be inserted into the adhesive channels 23 after they have been filled with the adhesive 19 and before the adhesive 19 has hardened.
- an adhesive channel 23 or several adhesive channels 23 can be formed, which adhesive channel(s) 23 or which adhesive channels 23 open into the receiving space 17 or open out.
- an adhesive channel 23 or several adhesive channels 23 can be formed, which adhesive channel(s) 23 or which adhesive channels 23 open into the receiving space 17 or open out.

- reinforcing rods 24 can be inserted into the adhesive channels 23 after the adhesive channels 23 or receiving spaces 17 have been filled with the adhesive 19 and before the adhesive 19 has hardened, with a portion of the adhesive 19 being removed from the adhesive channels and/or the receiving space 17 can be displaced.
- the introduction of reinforcing rods 24 into the adhesive channels 23 can also serve to support the filling or filling up of receiving spaces 17 with the adhesive 19 .
- the reinforcing rods 24 can essentially be made of the same material or material comprising plastic as the shaft parts 2, 3, 4, 5.
- the reinforcing rods 24 can be essentially cylindrical, with fundamentally different cross-sectional shapes being possible, for example oval or circular, cuboid, square or triangular cross-sectional shapes, as is also the case in 6 is indicated.
- a longitudinal extent of a reinforcing bar 24 can also be defined as in Fig.6 illustrates at least essentially a longitudinal extension of the corresponding adhesive channel 23, in which the relevant reinforcing rod 24 is inserted, correspond.
- a rifle stock 1 of a similar shape or of the same shape comprises only three stock parts 2 , 3 , 5 , namely a front stock 2 , a central stock adapter 3 and a rear stock 5 .
- a corresponding embodiment comprising three shaft parts 2, 3, 5 is for comparison in the 7 shown.
