Tuner attached to a muzzle brake or suppressor of a firearm
View Patent ↗A muzzle brake having a tuner and allowing for micro-adjustments to the weight of the barrel of a firearm. Upon being fired, the weighted the barrel mitigates the effect on aiming by disruptive frequencies reverberating through the firearm. The muzzle brake can incorporate a muzzle brake and be positioned after the muzzle brake segment such that the harmonics of the muzzle brake segment can also be affected by the muzzle brake. Use of the tuner on a firearm can increase overall accuracy and affect the groupings of shots on target when compared to use of a firearm without a muzzle brake.
1 . A muzzle brake for a firearm comprising:
a cylinder, wherein the cylinder houses a bore that allows traversal through the entire longitudinal length of the cylinder, wherein the cylinder further comprises one or more muzzle ports positioned along an exterior circumference of the cylinder;
a first threading located on a first end of the cylinder;
an interior threading, wherein the interior threading is located at the first end of the cylinder and is configured to affix the muzzle brake to a firearm;
a second threading located on a second end of the cylinder, wherein the second end is on the opposite end of the cylinder from the first end, wherein the second threading traverses at least a portion of the circumference of the second end and configured to affix a tuner to the cylinder; and
the tuner is configured to be rotated radially, which adjusts the length and weight of the muzzle brake.
2 . The muzzle brake of claim 1 , wherein the firearm is a pistol or a rifle.
3 . The muzzle brake of claim 1 , wherein the first threading traverses at least a portion of the circumference of the first end and removably couples a self-timing nut to the cylinder, and the self-timing nut couples the muzzle brake to the firearm.
4 . The muzzle brake of claim 1 , wherein the muzzle ports are configured radial around the circumference of the muzzle brake so that gas is vented generally and not in any one or more specific directions.
5 . The muzzle brake of claim 1 , wherein the muzzle ports are configured horizontally along the muzzle brake so that gas is vented in a specific direction.
6 . A muzzle brake for a firearm comprising:
a cylinder, wherein the cylinder houses a bore that allows traversal through the entire longitudinal length of the cylinder;
a first threading located on a first end of the cylinder, wherein the first threading traverses at least a portion of the circumference a portion of the first end;
the cylinder having an interior threading, wherein the interior threading is configured to affix the cylinder to a firearm;
a second threading located on a second end of the cylinder, wherein the second end is on the opposite end of the cylinder from the first end, and wherein the second threading traverses at least a portion of the circumference of the second end and configured to affix a tuner to the cylinder; and
the tuner is configured to be rotated radially, which adjusts the length and weight of the muzzle brake.
7 . The muzzle brake of claim 6 , wherein the first threading couples a self-timing nut to the cylinder and allows the cylinder to be coupled to the firearm.
8 . The muzzle brake of claim 6 , wherein the cylinder further comprises one or more muzzle ports positioned along an exterior circumference of the cylinder.
9 . The muzzle brake of claim 7 , wherein the interior threading is located at the first end of a cylinder; and wherein the self-timing nut is configured to secure the muzzle brake to the firearm and orient the cylinder.
10 . The muzzle brake of claim 7 , wherein the interior threading is located at the second end of the cylinder, and wherein the tuner is configured to secure the muzzle brake to the firearm and the self-timing nut is configured to orient the cylinder.
11 . The muzzle brake of claim 6 , wherein the firearm is a pistol or rifle.
12 . The muzzle brake of claim 6 , wherein the muzzle ports are configured radially around the circumference of the muzzle brake so that gas is vented generally and not in any one or more specific directions.
13 . The muzzle brake of claim 6 , wherein the muzzle ports are configured horizontally along the muzzle brake so that gas is vented in a specific direction.
14 . An attachment for a firearm comprising:
a suppressor having a pathway that allows traversal through the entire longitudinal length of the suppressor, and wherein the suppressor is configured to be attached to a firearm;
the suppressor having a threading, wherein the threading radially traverses at least a portion of the circumference of the suppressor and is configured to affix a tuner to the suppressor; and
the tuner is configured to be rotated radially, which adjusts the length and weight of the attachment.
15 . The attachment for a firearm of claim 14 , wherein the suppressor incorporates a baffle stack to dampen the sound of the firing process.
16 . The attachment for a firearm of claim 14 , wherein the type of suppressor is selected from a group consisting of the following: cap-welded, tack-welded, fully welded stack, fully welded, no tube, and monocore.
17 . The attachment for a firearm of claim 14 , wherein the firearm is a pistol.
18 . The attachment for a firearm of claim 14 , wherein the firearm is a rifle.
19 . The attachment for a firearm of claim 14 further comprising:
a self-timing nut inline with the suppressor and the tuner.
20 . The attachment for a firearm of claim 19 , wherein the suppressor is located on a proximate end of the suppressor, and wherein the self-timing nut is configured to secure the suppressor to the firearm and orient the attachment.
