Abstract
A firearm includes a receiver body is provided herein having a plurality of barrel-tightening portions with at least one relief recess therebetween and relief recesses defined in the body on either proximal end. The relief recesses and barrel-tightening portions are sized to allow the barrel-tightening portions to be tightened and loosened independently of each other. A barrel assembly is removably coupled to the receiver body.
Claims13
A firearm, comprising:
- a firearm receiver having a receiver body having:
- a proximal end, a distal end, and a barrel receiving recess defined in the distal end and extending proximally therefrom, the barrel receiving recess defining a central axis, the receiver body further including:
- a first barrel-tightening portion formed on an outer portion of the body, the first barrel-tightening portion having a first partial tightening slot defined therein, the first partial tightening slot being in communication with the barrel receiving recess and having first opposing sidewalls,
- a second barrel-tightening portion formed on an outer portion of the body, the second barrel-tightening portion having a second partial tightening slot defined therein, the second partial tightening slot being in communication with the barrel receiving recess and having second opposing sidewalls,
- a first relief recess defined in the outer portion of the receiver body at least partially between the first barrel-tightening portion and the second barrel-tightening portion, the first relief recess being in communication with each of the first partial tightening slot and the second partial tightening slot, the first relief recess being wider than both the first partial tightening slot and the second partial tightening slot,
- a second relief recess defined in the outer portion of the receiver body proximally of the first barrel-tightening portion, the second relief recess being in communication with the first partial tightening slot and being wider than the first partial tightening slot, and
- a third relief recess defined in the outer portion of the receiver body distally of the second barrel-tightening portion, the third relief recess being in communication with the second partial tightening slot and being wider than the second partial tightening slot, wherein the first relief recess, the second relief recess, and the third relief recess are sized to allow the first opposing sidewalls to move relative to each other independently of movement of the second opposing sidewalls relative to each other;
- and
- a barrel assembly configured to be received within the barrel receiving recess and to be coupled to the firearm receiver.
