Claim 1

1 . A device implementable on a firearm, comprising: a rotation mount comprising a first main piece and a second main piece; and a fastening device, wherein: the first main piece has a first mounting side configured to accommodate mounting of optics and accessories thereon, the second main piece has a second mounting side configured to accommodate a mounting surface on the firearm such that the rotation mount is installable on the firearm via the second main piece, the first main piece is configured with a first coupling portion with a generally cone-shaped first feature, the second main piece is configured with a second coupling portion with a generally cone-shaped second feature configured to mate with the first feature of the first coupling portion such that the first main piece is pivotable around a rotation axis of the rotation mount when the first main piece and the second main piece are pivotably joined together, the first main piece has a first through hole traversing through the first main piece along the rotation axis of the rotation mount, the second main piece has a second through hole traversing through the second main piece along the rotation axis of the rotation mount, and the fastening device is configured to traverse through the first through hole and the second through hole when the first main piece and the second main piece are pivotably joined together, the fastening device comprises a fastener and a ring cap, and when installed, the ring cap is received in the first through hole with the fastener traversing both the first through hole and the second through hole such that an opening of the ring cap exposes an operable end of the fastener so that the fastener is operable by a user through the opening. a rotation mount comprising a first main piece and a second main piece;
