A mount for mounting an accessory to a weapon includes a base portion with a forward edge and a rearward edge with a fore-aft axis extending therebetween. The fore-aft axis is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the weapon when attached thereto. An upper portion of the mount has a mounting surface for receiving an accessory. A pivot interconnects the base portion and the upper portion. The pivot has a pivot axis for rotation of the upper portion with respect to the base portion between a use position and a storage position. The upper portion in the use position is disposed above the base portion and in the storage position is disposed to a side of the base portion. The upper portion has a first edge that is a forward edge in the use position and a rearward edge in the storage position.

1. A mount for mounting an accessory to a rail of a weapon, the rail defining a longitudinal axis and having an upper face and a pair of opposed side faces, the mount comprising: a base portion having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface configured to engage a rail of a weapon so as to attach the base portion thereto, the base portion having a forward edge and a rearward edge with a fore-aft axis extending therebetween, the fore-aft axis being parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rail when the base portion is attached to the rail;an upper portion having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of the upper portion comprising a mounting surface for receiving an accessory;a pivot interconnecting the base portion and the upper portion, the pivot having a pivot axis for rotation of the upper portion with respect to the base portion between a use position and a storage position, the upper portion in the use position being disposed above the base portion and the upper portion in the storage position being disposed to a side of the base portion, the upper portion having a first edge that is a forward edge in the use position and a rearward edge in the storage position. 2. A mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein the pivot comprises a pivot shaft extending upwardly from the base portion and a pivot aperture in the upper portion, the pivot shaft being received in the pivot aperture. 3. A mount in accordance with claim 2, wherein the pivot further comprises a pivot surface defined on the base portion and a complimentary pivot surface defined on the upper surface, the pivot surfaces being in sliding engagement such that the pivot surfaces slide against each other when the upper portion pivots from the use position to the storage position. 4. A mount in accordance with claim 3, wherein the pivot surfaces are coaxial with the pivot shaft, one of the pivot surfaces having a raised portion extending therefrom, the other of the pivot surfaces having a recess defined therein, the raised portion being received in the recess when the upper portion is in the use position, the raised portion causing the upper portion to be moved upwardly away from the base portion as the upper portion is pivoted out of the use position. 5. A mount in accordance with claim 4, further comprising a second recess in the other of the pivot surfaces, the raised portion being received in the second recess when the upper portion is in the storage position. 6. A mount in accordance with claim 2, wherein: the upper surface of base portion defines a horizontal plane, the pivot axis being generally perpendicular to the horizontal plane. 7. A mount in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a raised section defined on one of the base and the upper portion and a recess defined on the other of the base and the upper portion, the raised section being disposed in the recess when the upper portion is in the use position. 8. A mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein: the upper surface of base portion defines a horizontal plane, the pivot axis being angled outwardly at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to the horizontal plane such that the upper portion in the storage position is disposed at a downwardly sloping angle with respect to the horizontal plane. 9. A mount in accordance with claim 1, wherein: the base portion has a first side portion configured to engage a first side face of a rail of a weapon and a second side portion configured to engage a second side face of a rail of a weapon, the second side portion being opposite the first side portion;one of the side portions being movable relative to the other of the side portions such that the side portions cooperate to selectively grip the rail of the weapon. 10. A mount for mounting an accessory to a weapon, the mount comprising: a base portion having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface configured to attach to a weapon so as to attach the base portion thereto, the base portion having a forward edge and a rearward edge with a fore-aft axis extending therebetween, the fore-aft axis being generally parallel to a longitudinal axis of the weapon when the base portion is attached to the weapon;an upper portion having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface of the upper portion comprising a mounting surface for receiving an accessory;a pivot interconnecting the base portion and the upper portion, the pivot having a pivot axis for rotation of the upper portion with respect to the base portion between a use position and a storage position, the upper portion in the use position being disposed above the base portion and the upper portion in the storage position being disposed to a side of the base portion, the upper portion having a first edge that is a forward edge in the use position and a rearward edge in the storage position.
