Abstract
Methods for manufacturing firearms and firearm components from bonded multi-metallic base materials comprising at least two dissimilar metallic materials having different properties, such as weight, density, wear resistance, durability, hardness, and the like, bonded to one another are provided. The bonded multi-metallic materials may be explosively bonded multi-metallic materials. The methods involve providing a bonded multi-metallic substrate material, cutting the rough shape of a component from the bonded multi-metallic substrate material, and machining the rough component shape to a desired three dimensional configuration of the component
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a firearm component comprising:
- providing a bonded multi-metallic substrate material at least as thick as the final thickness of a desired firearm component;
- mechanically dividing the substrate material and producing a rough component blank;
- and further refining the rough component blank to produce the desired three dimensional configuration of the component.
A method of manufacturing a firearm component comprising:
- providing a bonded multi-metallic substrate material;
- cutting the rough shape of the component from the bonded multi-metallic substrate material;
- and machining the rough component shape to the desired three dimensional configuration of the component.
