Abstract
A flexible fit, easy to attach and align, firearm adapter that allows secure fitment of a muzzle device, such as a suppressor, to a broad range of firearm sizes and shapes, with a single device. These firearms would include difficult to fit barrel profiles that in many cases would go unsuppressed without this improvement over the prior art. An embodiment includes an anchor securable to a smooth section of a firearm barrel and a housing adapted to engage the anchor. The anchor and housing are sized to reach over or around barrel obstructions. An embodiment includes an alignment guide to bring the barrel into axial alignment with the muzzle device.
Claims20
A firearm adapter for securing a muzzle device to a firearm, comprising:
- an anchor, the anchor including:
- a proximal end and a distal end with a length extending therebetween and a longitudinal axis extending parallel to the length;
- an outer surface and an inner surface,
- at least a section of the inner surface of the anchor having a circular or semi-circular cross-sectional shape, with a radius greater than a radius of the firearm barrel when the anchor is attached to the firearm barrel;
- the anchor attachable to the firearm barrel by contracting around a smooth section of the firearm barrel;
- a housing, the housing including:
- a length extending parallel to a longitudinal axis;
- a proximal end of the housing adapted to attach to or engage the anchor to prevent relative axial movement between the anchor and the housing with respect to the longitudinal axis;
- a distal end having a projectile aperture axially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the housing;
- and
- the housing being integrated with or attachable to a muzzle device.

- a distal end having a projectile aperture axially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the housing;
- the housing being integrated with or attachable to a muzzle device;
- and
- an alignment guide residing at least partially within the housing or muzzle device, the alignment guide having a central bore hole sized to permit passage of a projectile, but prevent passage of a firearm muzzle or a pre-existing muzzle device secured to the firearm.

- a central bore hole sized to permit passage of a projectile, but prevent passage of a firearm muzzle or a pre-existing muzzle device secured to the firearm;
- and
- a frustoconical shape that tapers towards the central longitudinal axis, the frustoconical shape thereby funneling the muzzle or pre-existing muzzle device into axial alignment with the central longitudinal axis.
