An extension device (1) of a firearm (500) mounts in an operating configuration, to a muzzle (555) of a barrel (550) of the firearm (500). The extension device (1) includes a main body (10) which has an inner element (11) housable inside the barrel (550) and suitable to firmly engage with an inner barrel wall (550) and an outer element (12) which extends axially adjacent to the inner element (11) and is suitable to be arranged outside the barrel (550) with the inner element (11) housed in the barrel (550). The extension device further includes a secondary body (20) fitted axially on the main body (10) and an attachment body (30) fitted axially on the outer element (12) and fixable thereto performing an axial thrust action on the secondary body (20) until the secondary body presses against the muzzle (555) of the firearm (500).

A device enabling a shotgun operator to carry an additional choke tube on the body of a shotgun is disclosed. Embodiments include a universal adapter end cap configured to be threaded onto the end of a shotgun magazine, the universal adapter end cap including an opposite end adapted to secure an accessory (e.g., shotgun choke tube). Accordingly, embodiments enables an operator to stow and carry a second unused choke tube at the end of the shotgun magazine. Some embodiments of the universal adapter end cap include a threaded opening that enables the choke tube to be threaded into the threaded opening. Some embodiments provide threads constructed from flexible material to enable both threading and push insertion of an accessory into the universal adapter end cap.

A smooth-bore barrel assembly including a first segment that extends downstream of a powder chamber, a bore followed by a segment having an increased diameter, and a final choke constituted by a first final portion and by a second final portion; the barrel is characterized in that the first segment has a divergent-convergent configuration, constituted by a divergent portion and by a convergent portion, or a solely convergent or solely divergent configuration. Advantageously, the barrel assembly can be provided in a modular form and includes three basic components: a barrel body, an extension, an inner choke member and/or an outer choke member.

A method, system, and apparatus for humanely dispatching wounded game in the field comprises a shank with a connecting end, a curved region, and a pointed end, connected to a grip formed at the connecting end of the shank, and a finger loop. The grip can further comprise a series or flattened portions configured to engage the gaps in a choke tube in order to remove the choke tube.
