  • Patent number: 10883787
    Abstract: A novel locking mechanism is provided for a noise suppressor mount for a firearm. The locking mechanism comprises a muzzle attachment comprising a plurality of locking positions, a collar, and a locking arm comprising a locking notch, wherein the collar rotates to move the locking notch in a circular direction into a locking position. In some cases, the locking mechanism further comprises a protection arm comprising a blocking arm, wherein, with the locking notch moved into the locking position and without a muzzle attachment being fully inserted within the collar, the protection arm is set to an engaged state in which the blocking arm has been extended toward the central portion of the collar, thereby preventing subsequent full insertion of a muzzle attachment, and wherein, with the locking notch moved into the locking position and with a muzzle attachment fully inserted, the protection arm is set to a disengaged state.

  • Patent number: 10451374
    Abstract: A noise suppressor for a firearm is provided that can be disassembled and is able to withstand full automatic fire. In various embodiments, a noise suppressor might include an outer tube, a distal end cap, and a pin(s). The outer tube might include a plurality of first holes spaced apart from each other along a circumference of a distal end of the outer tube. The distal end cap might include a plurality of second holes spaced apart from each other along a circumference of the distal end cap. One of the distal end cap or the distal end might be threaded into the other. Each of the pin(s) might be releasably inserted and affixed to at least one first hole and at least one second hole. A blank firing adapter is also provided that can be coupled to the noise suppressor (and can withstand live rounds being fired into it).
