Abstract
A breaching tool assembly is provided for use with a shotgun barrel including a cylindrical carrier tube with a first externally threaded portion at one end for threadingly engaging an internal thread in the shotgun barrel. A second externally threaded portion is provided on the carrier tube which will remain exposed beyond the muzzle end of the shotgun barrel when the carrier tube is fully threaded into engagement with the shotgun barrel. An internally threaded stand-off tube is also provided which is sized to be threadingly carried on an outside of the carrier tube and to engage the second externally threaded portion of the carrier tube such that the stand-off tube can be threaded onto the carrier tube until the stand-off tube abuttingly engages the muzzle end of the shotgun barrel.
Claims20
A breaching tool for a shotgun, wherein said breaching tool comprises
- a cylindrical carrier tube having a first external threaded portion at one end for threadingly engaging an internal thread in a shotgun barrel which is spaced inwardly of a muzzle end of the shotgun barrel,
- a second external threaded portion on said carrier tube, which second portion will remain exposed beyond said muzzle end of said shotgun barrel when said carrier tube is fully threaded into engagement with said shotgun barrel, and
- an internally threaded stand-off tube sized to be threadingly carried on an outside of said carrier tube and to engage said second external threaded portion of said carrier tube, such that said stand-off tube can be threaded onto said carrier tube until the stand-off tube abuttingly engages said muzzle end of said shotgun barrel, said stand-off tube having a plurality of lateral openings therethrough.
A breaching tool assembly for use with a shotgun barrel comprising:
- a cylindrical carrier tube with a first externally threaded portion at one end for threadingly engaging an internal thread in said shotgun barrel which is spaced inwardly of a muzzle end of said shotgun barrel,
- a second externally threaded portion which will remain exposed beyond said muzzle end of said shotgun barrel when said carrier tube is fully threaded into engagement with said shotgun barrel, and
- an internally threaded stand-off tube sized to be threadingly carried on an outside of said carrier tube and to engage said second externally threaded portion of said carrier tube such that said stand-off tube can be threaded onto said carrier tube until said stand-off tube abuttingly engages said muzzle end of said shotgun barrel, said stand-off tube having a plurality of laterally extending openings therethrough.
A method of attaching a breaching tool to a shotgun barrel comprising:
- inserting a carrier tube into said shotgun barrel;
- rotating said carrier tube relative to said shotgun barrel to engage a threaded connection between said carrier tube and said shotgun barrel;
- continuing said relative rotation between said carrier tube and said shotgun barrel until said carrier tube abuttingly engages an internal step in said shotgun barrel;
- position a stand-off tube around an exterior of said carrier tube;
- rotating said stand-off tube relative to said carrier tube to engage a threaded connection between carrier tube and said stand-off tube,
- continuing said relative rotation between said carrier tube and said stand-off tube until said stand-off tube abuttingly engages a muzzle end of said shotgun barrel.
