Apparatus and method for regulating firearm discharge gases and mounting a component to a firearm

A muzzle booster for regulating discharge gases from a firearm, the muzzle booster comprising:

• a shroud which comprises
• a first proximal end,
• an interior conical segment adjacent the first proximal end, and
• a first distal end which comprises a first diameter;
• and
• a core positioned in the shroud, the core comprising
• a receptacle which comprises a first screw thread,
• a venting port disposed adjacent to the receptacle,
• a bore opposite the receptacle and concentrically aligned with the receptacle, and
• a blast baffle disposed around the bore, the blast baffle comprising
• a second distal end,
• an internal cone adjacent to the second distal end, the bore and the internal cone being in fluid communication, and
• a ring segment adjacent to the second distal end, the ring segment and the first distal end being spaced from each other radially by a gap, the gap being substantially equal to 0.004 inches, the core and the shroud defining a blast chamber intermediate to the shroud and the core.
