Devices, systems and methods of canting firearms such as rifles relative to fore grip having extendable and expanded legs. One version allows for a rocking and canting of the firearm by pivotally attaching an upper portion of the expanded legs. Another version allows for a separate canting member to be clamped to both the upper portion of a vertical fore grip and to the lower mounting rail of the firearm. The canting member has portions that cant (move to the left or to the right) relative to one another. An operator can cant the firearm in a free-state or to fixed positions as desired.

We claim: 1. A canting fore grip for mounting to a firearm, comprising: an elongated vertical main housing having an upper end for mounting to the firearm, and a lower end and a cut out therethrough; two legs, each leg having upper ends pivotally attached to one another, and lower ends, the two leg
We claim: 1. A canting fore grip for mounting to a firearm, comprising: an elongated vertical main housing having an upper end for mounting to the firearm, and a lower end and a cut out therethrough; two legs, each leg having upper ends pivotally attached to one another, and lower ends, the two legs being parallel to one another inside of the main housing; a catch for holding the two legs inside of the housing; a release for allowing the two legs to drop from the main housing; an expansion member for expanding the two legs out from beneath the lower end of the main housing so that the lower ends of the legs pivot outward relative to the pivotally attached upper ends of the legs, the expanded legs forming a upside down V configuration, the legs being useful for supporting the firearm above a surface, the main housing and the expanded legs forming an upside down Y configuration; and a canting member adjacent to the lower end of the housing and the pivotally attached upper ends of the legs, for allowing both the elongated vertical main housing and the firearm to cant to the right and the left relative to the surface on which the firearm is supported. 2. The canting fore grip of claim 1, wherein the canting member includes: stops for allowing right canting up to approximately 10 degrees and left canting to approximately ten degrees to the left. 3. The canting fore grip of claim 1, wherein vertical fore grip includes: a clamp having grippable clamp members for clamping angled rail edges on a bottom portion of the firearm to an upper end of the elongated vertical fore grip. 4. The canting fore grip of claim 3, wherein the clamp includes: a screwable component for allowing the clamp to contract about the bottom portion of the firearm. 5. The canting fore grip of claim 1, wherein the canting member includes: a pivotable member for allowing an upper portion of the legs to cant to the right and to the left relative to the bottom end of the elongated vertical fore grip. 6. The canting fore grip of claim 5, wherein the pivotable member includes: a slidable ball yoke that can slide relative to a cone shaped opening. 7. The canting fore grip of claim 5, wherein the pivotable member includes: an upper triangular configuration of the legs which pivots within a cone shaped opening formed in the bottom of the elongated vertical fore grip. 8. The canting fore grip of claim 7, wherein the cone shaped opening in the bottom of the elongated vertical fore grip includes: a screwable bottom cap on the fore grip. 9. The canting fore grip of claim 1, wherein the firearm is a rifle. 10. A method of canting a firearm weapon on a support stand, comprising the steps of: providing a main housing with an upper end and a lower end, the lower end having an opening therethrough; holding a pair of elongated legs parallel to one another inside of the main housing, the legs having upper ends pivotally attached to one another, and bottom ends; mounting a firearm to the upper end of the main housing; releasing the elongated legs from inside of the main housing so that the bottom ends of the legs drop out from the main housing; expanding the bottom ends of the legs relative to the pivotally attached upper ends of the legs so that the expanded legs form a triangular configuration; and canting both the main housing together with the firearm to the right and to the left relative to an apex portion of the triangular configuration of the legs. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the canting step includes the step of: rocking the firearm and the main housing up to approximately ten degrees to the right and up to approximately ten degrees to the left. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the canting step includes the step of: pivoting an upper portion of the expandable legs within a lower opening of the fore grip. 13. A canting fore grip for firearms, comprising: a vertical main housing having an upper end adapted to be mounted underneath a firearm, and the main housing having a lower end; two legs each having upper ends pivotally attached to one another, and bottom ends, the two legs being parallel to one another inside of the main housing; a catch for holding the two legs inside of the housing while the two legs are parallel to one another; a release for allowing the bottom ends of the legs to drop below the lower end of the main housing; an expansion member for expanding the bottom ends of the legs from beneath the lower end of the main housing so that the bottom ends of the legs pivot outward relative to the pivotally attached upper ends of the legs, the expanded legs forming a triangle configuration, and the main housing with the expanded legs forming an upside down Y configuration; and a canting member between to the lower end of the housing and an apex portion of the triangle configuration of the expanded legs, for allowing both the vertical main housing with the mounted firearm to cant to the right and the left relative to the triangular configuration of the expanded legs. 14. The canting fore grip of claim 13, wherein the canting member includes: a pivot pin member which allows the apex portion of the triangle configuration of the expanded legs, to cant relative to the lower end of the housing. 15. The canting fore grip of claim 13, wherein the canting member includes: a slidable ball yoke that can slide relative to a cone shaped opening. 16. The canting fore grip of claim 13, wherein the canting member includes: a cone shaped opening formed in the lower end of the housing, wherein the apex portion of the triangle configuration of the expanded legs can move to the right and the left within the cone shaped opening.
