AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a way to remove a gas block from a firearm without removing the muzzle device. This is done by using a combination of a barrel, gas block, and muzzle device with an outside diameter no greater than the gas block or barrel. The method allows for the gas block to be slid off the barrel and re-installed over the muzzle device without removing the muzzle device. This invention also aims to provide a way to remove or assemble a gas block without cutting or destruction of the gas block.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, once installed, a gas block cannot be removed from the barrel without removing the muzzle device.
If the muzzle device is permanently affixed to the barrel, removal requires cutting (and, typically, destroying) either the gas block or muzzle device.

Abstract

A firearm having a barrel, an integral gas block operably mounted on a portion of the barrel and a muzzle end device mounted on an end of the barrel. The barrel portion has an outside diameter equal to and preferably greater than the greatest outside diameter of the muzzle end device. The gas block has an inner diameter such that the block is slidable along, onto or off the barrel, and over and beyond the muzzle end device while it is mounted on the barrel. Methods are disclosed.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 371,896, filed Aug. 8, 2016, and incorporates the same herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to an apparatus and method that allows removal of a gas block from the barrel of a gas operated semi-automatic firearm without removing an attached muzzle device, such as a flash suppressor or muzzle brake.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In a gas operated semi-automatic firearm, a portion of the propulsion gas which drives a projectile through the barrel bore is bled off through a gas port in the barrel. The energy of this gas pressure is used to cycle the action of the firearm, either by direct impingement or a gas piston.[0004]A gas block is mounted on the barrel at the location of the gas port to direct the ported gas flow through a passageway in the gas block to a gas tube or piston. Typically, the gas block is assembled to the barrel by sliding a bore...
