A barrel for a firearm having a bore axis, a cartridge chamber, and an integrally formed locking sleeve with a locking space, with locking lugs, the locking sleeve has recesses for bolt head lugs of a bolt head to be inserted. The barrel has, in the direction towards the cartridge chamber, at least two centering ramps in the transition area between the recess for the lugs and the locking space in an oblique manner with respect to the bore axis. Further the recesses forming the bayonet-type groove, viewed in the direction of the bore axis, each have a profile which comprises an elliptical segment. The disclosure additionally provides a production process for such a barrel.

A firearm training barrel for a replica gun, the gun having a slide and a magazine with a follower. The barrel includes an extended or extendable member positioned or positionable to simulate the presence of one or more pellets in the magazine, whereby the replica gun can be fired even after the magazine's follower has reached the top of the magazine.

Provided are barrels, barrel assemblies, firearms, and associated components, assemblies, and methods. A barrel of a firearm may include an inner surface defining a bore configured to guide a projectile as the projectile is propelled through the bore by pressurized gas. The barrel may define a muzzle end, a chamber end opposite the muzzle end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the muzzle end and the chamber end. The inner surface may define a chamber at the chamber end of the barrel. The chamber may receive a cartridge and to support at least a portion of a casing of the cartridge during firing. The barrel may further define one or more barrel feed ramps at the chamber end configured to guide at least a portion of the cartridge into the chamber during an operational cycle of the firearm. The barrel may engage with a barrel extension as a barrel assembly.

Provided is an interchangeable modular chamber system for a firearm. The system includes a firearm receiver, a barrel comprising lands and grooves, a chamber insert sleeve comprising lands and grooves, an index pin, a locking collar, and a recoil lug. The barrel is threaded into the receiver with the chamber insert sleeve positioned within the barrel. The chamber insert sleeve is indexed to align the lands and grooves of the chamber insert sleeve with those of the barrel. The locking collar and recoil lug are threaded onto the external threads of the barrel and are adjustable to optimize the headspace for different cartridges of the same caliber and to allow for the sacrificial replacement of the throat area of a barrel.

A barrel for a handgun includes an imaginary barrel bore axis along which it extends in the x-direction, around which barrel axis the following are formed in the interior of the barrel, in succession from a rear end to a front end: a cartridge chamber, which has a first diameter; a cartridge chamber opening, which has a second diameter; a conical transition, which transitions from the second diameter to a third diameter, which is associated with the guide region; and a barrel opening, an end face being formed around the cartridge chamber opening, and the barrel being suitable for a bullet driven by hot gases to accelerate therethrough. The end face is at least 1.5 times larger than the cross-sectional surface formed by the third diameter.
