Shock Absorbing Mount for Adjustable Barrel

Abstract

Disclosed is a mount releasably attached to a launcher/spotting rifle assembly. The mount, when released, allows for the barrel of the spotting rifle of the launcher/spotting rifle assembly to be adjusted in a spherical manner, and when tightened, rigidly affixes the barrel to the launcher/spotting rifle assembly, while at the same time provides shock absorbing means which absorbs high stress from the firing shock typically created by the discharge of the launcher/spotting rifle assembly. The shock absorbing means acts to preserve the rigid and accurate attachment of the barrel to the launcher/spotting rifle assembly.
