إذا اطلعنا على رابط نادية مع الرابط التالي يتضح (إن لم يجانبني الصواب) أن المصطلح العربي هو "المقبض" وهو الجزء النحيف الذي يمسك به الجندي كما في الصورة

Thank you Nadia Thanks to you "small" is clear now. Only its Arabic equivalent is needed.

No I asked for the same but there is no available photo.

Is there a picture of this gun accompanying the text? Can you get one from the client?
Shazly Nov 2, 2008:
Just guessing: it may refer to the small caliber or to the small bore rifle or to the small version designed as training rifles for military cadets. Please check.

مطعمة بأسلاك فضية دقيقة

فهمت أن عقب البندقية مخرف بطريقة راقية ومطعم بأسلاك فضية
أي أن الاسلاك الفضية مغروزة في الخشب لإعطاء مزية أكثر جمالاً لعقب البندقية

هذه الصنعة أصبحت الآن سائدة في تصنيع خزانات غرف النوم حيث يطعم الخشب بسلك نحاسي ثم يلمع

إذا وصفت عقب البندقية بأنه مزخرف بنقوشات فهذا يعني أن أهمية المواصفة ينصب على وجود هذه الزخارف على أخمص البندقية سواء على الجزء المستدق القريب من آلية القدح والزناد والسبطانة أو على الجزء العريض الطرفي

وروح الموضوع هو ما إذا كان عقب هذه البندقية مزخرفاً أم خالي من أية نقوش
Note from asker:
Is not "small" a noun (not adj.) here? I have a hunch that it maybe a part of a gun. Actually I donno so I need expert opinion in weapons.

المسـتدقّ

This is a suggestion of medium level certainty. The small of anything is its thinnest or narrowest part, such as the small of the back. I assume that in the anatomy of a gun, there is a narrow part known also as the small, and in this case, it is decorated with this band.

Reference:

This might help, it shows the picture of a soldier holding a gun and says:
"a. Grasp the small of the gun stock with your right hand. The forefinger should be toward the rear of the pistol grip."
