GUN BARREL TAPER FOR ATTACHING THREADED ACCESSORIES

Abstract

The adding of a taper at the end of the handgun barrel having a threaded end for accessories that matches an opposing taper in an accessory to enable more precision in the alignment of the accessory on the handgun barrel and a more secure interface is disclosed.

Claims

1. A tapered end on a handgun barrel having a threaded end for attaching accessories allowing for improved concentricity and locking interface comprising: a handgun barrel; said handgun barrel having a threaded end; said handgun barrel having a taper before said threaded end of said handgun barrel; and, such that when accessories having an opposing taper of similar angle and depth of said handgun barrel taper are screwed onto said threaded end of said handgun barrel, said opposing tapers allow said accessories to contact and mount with concentricity to said handgun barrel and also create a locking interface between said accessory and said handgun barrel.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0007] For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0008] FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment diagram of the handgun assembly of this disclosure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0009] As discussed above, through the use of a taper at the end of a handgun barrel, threaded on accessories can be mounted with more precision and a more secure interface. Attachments might include a thread protector, compensator, or a booster for a suppressor. The taper will allow accessory attachments to mount with near perfect concentricity and also create a locking interface.

[0010] More specifically as shown in FIG. 1 of the preferred embodiment device of this invention a handgun barrel (1) that has a threaded end (2) for accessories (not shown) also includes a taper (3) before said threaded end at the end of the handgun barrel (1) such that when accessories having an opposing taper (3) of similar angle and depth are screwed onto the threaded end (2) of the handgun barrel (1) the opposing tapers (3) allow attachments to mount with near perfect concentricity and also create a locking interface.

[0011] Since certain changes may be made in the above-described device that uses a taper on a handgun barrel without departing from the scope of the invention herein involved, it is intended that all matter contained in the description thereof shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
