Tapered barrel and receiver interfaces create a wedging fit that preserves bore alignment during thermal expansion, improving accuracy and reliability.
A preset-torque locknut and alignment fixture secure the barrel while minimizing torque transfer to the receiver and preventing misalignment.
A non-metal outer sleeve with matched thermal expansion keeps the barrel handleable after firing while preserving concentricity, rifling tension, and accuracy.
A slotted receiver, transversal screws, and a backup pin secure the replaceable barrel even when clamping screws are missing.
