18. The system of claim 17, wherein the lower portion of each of the at least two ring assemblies is bifurcated and wherein coupling the upper portion to the lower portion expands the extension engaging the mount assembly.
19. The system of claim 15, wherein the firearm includes two or more recesses configured to accept a connector associated with each of the at least two mount assemblies.
20. The system of claim 19, wherein a first recess includes a groove having an inclined face configured to accept the connector associated with a first mount assembly such that the connector engages the inclined face, and wherein a second recess having an incline opposite to the inclined face is configured to accept the connector associated with a second mount assembly.
21. The system of claim 20, wherein the connector associated with the second mount assembly is a bolt.
22. The system of claim 20, wherein the connector associated with the second mount assembly is a self locking fastener.
23. The system of claim 20, wherein the connector associated with the second mount physically draws the firearm and the second mount assembly together.
24. The system of claim 15, wherein the at least two mounting assemblies are joined forming a single mounting component.
25. A method for using a single sighting device on a plurality of firearms, the method comprising:
mounting said single sighting device on a first of said plurality of firearms using a mounting system, said mounting system including at least two ring assemblies and at least two mount assemblies wherein the at least two ring assemblies couple the single sighting device to the at least two mount assemblies respectively and wherein the first of said plurality of firearms includes a first set of two or more recesses configured to accept a portion of each of the at least two mount assemblies;
removing the mounting system and single sighting device from the first of said plurality of firearms as a single component; and
mounting the mounting system and single sighting device on a second of said plurality of firearms wherein the second of said plurality of firearms includes a second set of two or more recesses configured to accept the portion of each of the at least two mount assemblies and wherein the first set of two or more recesses and the second set of two or more recesses is substantially identical.
26. The method of claim 25 wherein the mounting system and single sighting device is released from the first of said plurality of firearms at a single point of contact.
27. A method for interchanging a plurality of sighting devices on a firearm, the method comprising:
mounting each of the plurality of sighting device on the firearm using an associated one of a plurality of mounting systems, each of said plurality of mounting systems including at least two ring assemblies and at least two mount assemblies wherein the at least two ring assemblies couple the single sighting device to the at least two mount assemblies respectively, and wherein the firearm includes two or more recesses configured to accept a portion of each of the at least two mount assemblies of each of said plurality of mounting systems;
removing a first of the plurality of mounting systems and its associated sighting device from the firearm as a single component; and
mounting a second mounting system and its associated sighting device on the firearm wherein the at least two mounting assemblies of the second mounting system are configured to match the two or more recesses in the firearm.
28. The method of claim 27, wherein each mounting system and its associated sighting device is released from the firearm at a single point of contact.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A temporary outdoor restroom area complex, the temporary outdoor restroom area complex comprising:
