  • Patent number: 9207033
    Abstract: A baffle for use in a firearm suppressor to decrease the amount of sound and flash upon the firing of a firearm on which the suppressor is attached. The baffle comprises a hollow cone-shaped main member having a vertex connected to a base by an annular side surface. The base and the vertex are centered at an elongate central axis of the main member and the side surface has a baffle entry aperture extending therethrough. The baffle entry aperture extends along the side surface in the direction of the base and is offset from the elongate central axis of the main member. In use, the cone-shaped main member is located in a non-centered position within the suppressor such that the vertex is offset from a bore extending through the suppressor and the baffle entry aperture is aligned with the bore of the suppressor.

  • Patent number: 7412917
    Abstract: A baffle for use in a firearm suppressor, which increases the amount of sound and flash that are perceived upon the firing of a firearm upon which a suppressor is placed without substantial alteration to the power or accuracy of the firearm upon which the suppressor is attached. The baffle is made up of a generally hollow, central core defining open topped tube that is dimensioned so as to allow passage of a projectile through this core. This tube extends from an open front end backwards to an intersection with an inside surface of a rear wall, as well as to an intersection with a forward bulkhead. The bulkhead and the inside surface of the rear wall are located in different vertical and horizontal planes and define expansion chambers and reflection surfaces that alter the escape pattern of gasses out of the suppressor.

  • Patent number: 6959509
    Abstract: The present invention is a quick change and torque controlled barrel nut assembly for use on a variety of firearms. The invention is made up of a generally cylindrically shaped barrel nut configured to adaptably connect a barrel to a firearm, a gas tube ring that is configured to fit over the barrel nut and a locknut that holds the gas tube ring in place. This invention allows the gun barrel to be rapidly connected by connecting the barrel to the receiver portion of a firearm, placing the freely rotating stabilizing gas ring in a desired position and tightening the locknut to hold the stabilizing gas ring in place.
