Abstract
A fast-attaching, self-aligning, easily adaptable firearm adapter. The novel adapter attaches to the barrel of a firearm while precisely aligning the barrel and adapter using a concentric constriction sleeve along the barrel and a barrel guide to funnel firearm muzzle. The device is adapted to attach to a wide range of barrel diameters via an easy to fit and inexpensive to manufacture fitment sleeve. Thus, the adapter can be manufactured in a single size and work with most firearms. In addition, the device attaches to the smooth section of barrel thereby eliminating the need for permanently modifying a firearm by threading the barrel.
Claims20
An adapter for a firearm, comprising:
- a sheath, the sheath including:
- a first end, a second end, and a tubular body extending therebetween and establishing an inner surface;
- the second end being integrated with a muzzle device or attachable to the muzzle device;
- a constricting sleeve, the constricting sleeve including:
- having a first end, a second end, and a tubular body extending therebetween and establishing an inner surface;
- at least a portion of the first end having a discontinuous perimeter thereby enabling the inner surface to adjust in diameter;
- the inner surface having a diameter that is greater than a diameter of a firearm barrel when the constricting sleeve receives the firearm barrel;
- the first end of an inner surface of the sheath having a diameter sized to receive at least a portion of the constricting sleeve;
- and
- at least one of an outer surface of the first end of the constricting sleeve and the inner surface of the first end of the sheath being tapered inwardly towards the second end of the sheath.

- an inwardly extending catchment flange adapted to catch a proximal end of an anchor or a barrel device extending outwardly from the firearm barrel;
- the first end of an inner surface of the sheath having a diameter sized to receive at least a portion of the constricting sleeve;
- and
- at least one of an outer surface of the first end of the constricting sleeve and the inner surface of the first end of the sheath being tapered inwardly towards the second end of the sheath.
