  • Publication number: 20240255247
    Abstract: Assemblies such as firearms having a barrel including a throat insert are disclosed. In some embodiments, an assembly includes a barrel, a throat region having a throat insert disposed therein, and a bore extending away from the throat region to a muzzle end of the barrel. During firing, a bullet from an ammunition cartridge disposed within the chamber passes through an insert passage and the bore, and exits from the bore through a discharge opening. The throat insert is formed of a material (e.g. brass, titanium, etc.) that is at least one of harder or more durable than the material of the barrel. Because the throat insert is proximate the chamber, the throat insert bears the extreme environment (e.g. heating, pressure, etc.) during firing of the ammunition cartridge.
