Abstract: Provided is a method of assembly for a noise suppressor using specific welding and assembly procedures. By welding the inner portion of a noise suppressor to form a semi complete core an outer tube can then be placed over said core to reinforce the noise suppressor as a whole. The described process allows for an overall reduction of tube wall thickness and provides for a reduction of weight. By affixing each baffle, spacer, end cap and mount together as a whole the strength of the entire unit is multiplied. My method is not restricted to any particular baffle technology but may in fact be incorporated into any design where circumferential fusion welds may be used.

Abstract: An apparatus and method to install and index an eccentric noise suppressor. Once a noise suppressor is threadedly secured about the bore of a firearm a retention collar may be released by un-securing a retention cap. Releasing the tension which is placed on the retention collar affords the user an option of orienting the noise suppressor to any position which may be achieved by rotating the noise suppressor about the longitudinal axis of the barrel. This allows the user to place an eccentric noise suppressor in a position which does not obscure the sites of a handgun.

Abstract: An apparatus which provides for, noise suppressor tube with an internal tapered profile and baffle core which has an external tapered profile machined and designed to minimize friction between the two opposing surfaces which will better facilitate the disassembly of the noise suppressor unit after use.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for easily, quickly and reliably attaching a noise suppressor or other auxiliary device to the muzzle end of a firearm barrel and for easily, quickly and reliably removing the noise suppressor or other auxiliary device there from through the novel ideal of providing two or more non equal relieved areas of thread. My invention also provides an internal o-ring to provide friction between the muzzle adaptor and the thread mount of a noise suppressor or other auxiliary device.
