Abstract
Abstract An assembly for converting a handgun to a rifle wherein an elongated rifle barrel having locking means thereon which is identical to the locking means on the handgun barrel is substituted within the handgun in place of the conventional short handgun barrel. The handgrip cover plates are removed from the handgun and the handgun with the rifle barrel inserted therein is placed between a pair of handgrip engaging plates which form a portion of a rifle stock. The handgrip cover plates are placed on the outer faces of the handgrip engaging plates and a pair of securing members are inserted through aligned apertures in the handgrip cover plates, the handgrip engaging plates and the handgrip to secure the handgun within the rifle stock. A handrest stock member extends forwardly of the handgrip engaging plates and is secured to one of the plates by means of a connecting member having a cutout portion which permits access to the trigger when in the assembled condition. A rod-like member extends rearwardly of and is secured to a U-shaped connecting member which is formed integrally with the handgrip engaging plates. A shoulder plate is secured to the terminal end of the rod-like member.
