Abstract:

A detachable zero-set scope mount assembly for a hand gun and other firearms has a sized elongated base plate having a planar upper surface, and a lower surface contoured to fit the hand gun, connectors are provided to precisely connect the base plate so that the longitudinal line thereof is in alignment with the longitudinal center line of the hand gun and positioned so as not to interfere with the standard sights on the hand gun. A threaded bore in the longitudinal line of the base plate and at least one tapered guide opening spaced therefrom are formed in the upper surface of the base plate so that a corresponding central opening and downwardly extending tapered projection on the lower planar surface of a scope bracket assembly can be matched and mated thereto, and a manually operated threaded device in engagement with the scope bracket assembly can be threaded into said threaded bore in the base plate to lock the scope bracket assembly with a zero-set scope thereon in assembled position on the hand gun and on unthreading thereof the scope bracket assembly with the zero-set scope thereon can be easily removed from the hand gun.
