Suppressor assembly, toolset, and methods for assembling and disassembling
Assemblies, suppressor assemblies, firearms, tool sets, methods, and/or the like are provided. In some embodiments, a tool set for assembling and/or disassembling a suppressor assembly may include a first wrench and a second wrench. In some embodiments, the first wrench includes one or more teeth configured to engage a plurality of annularly arranged protrusions disposed at or proximate a distal end of a suppressor assembly, the plurality of annularly arranged protrusions defining recesses therebetween. In some embodiments, the second wrench includes one or more wrench engagement surfaces configured to engage one or more corresponding suppressor engagement surfaces disposed at or proximate a proximal end of the suppressor assembly.

engaging, by a first wrench comprising one or more teeth, a plurality of annularly arranged protrusions disposed at or proximate a distal end of the suppressor assembly, the plurality of annularly arranged protrusions defining one or more recesses therebetween;
engaging, by a second wrench comprising an arced portion that comprises one or more wrench engagement surfaces, one or more corresponding suppressor engagement surfaces disposed at or proximate a proximal end of the suppressor assembly with the one or more wrench engagement surfaces of the arced portion of the second wrench; and
unscrewing, by the first wrench, at least a portion of a suppressor shroud from a suppressor core of the suppressor assembly by applying opposing torques on the suppressor shroud with the first wrench and the suppressor core with the second wrench.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second wrench comprises an elongated bar defining:
a first portion that is substantially linear;
a second portion that is substantially linear; and
the arced portion that comprises the one or more wrench engagement surfaces, wherein the arced portion is defined between the first portion and the second portion.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second wrench comprises an elongated bar defining:
a first portion that is substantially linear; and
a second portion that is arced,
wherein the second portion that is arced comprises the one or more wrench engagement surfaces of the second wrench, and
wherein the method comprises engaging, by the second portion that is arced the one or more corresponding suppressor engagement surfaces.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising engaging one or more fasteners that secure the suppressor shroud to the suppressor core of the suppressor assembly with one or more wrench engagement surfaces of a third wrench.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first wrench comprises a ring-shaped portion, and wherein the one or more teeth extend at least partially toward a radial center of the ring-shaped portion from an inner side of the ring-shaped portion.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the suppressor core comprises one or more baffles, each of the one or more baffles defining an opening aligned along a linear projectile axis defined by the suppressor core,
the suppressor shroud covers at least a portion of the suppressor core, and
the suppressor shroud comprises the plurality of annularly arranged protrusions.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the suppressor shroud comprises threading configured to engage corresponding threading of the suppressor core.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the suppressor shroud comprises an end cap disposed at a distal end of the suppressor shroud, and wherein the end cap comprises the plurality of annularly arranged protrusions.
9 . The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the suppressor core comprises a plurality of suppressor engagement surfaces at or proximate the proximal end of the suppressor assembly, and
wherein applying opposing torques on the suppressor shroud with the first wrench and the suppressor core with the second wrench comprises applying torque on the plurality of suppressor engagement surfaces of the suppressor core with the second wrench.
10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
engaging, by a third wrench comprising one or more wrench engagement surfaces, one or more fasteners configured to secure the suppressor shroud to the suppressor core of the suppressor assembly; and
unscrewing, by the third wrench, the one or more fasteners,
wherein the one or more fasteners are aligned along a linear projectile axis defined by the suppressor core, wherein the one or more fasteners comprise one or more threaded nuts, and wherein threading of the suppressor shroud is configured to be disposed proximally of the one or more threaded nuts.
11 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
engaging, by a third wrench comprising one or more wrench engagement surfaces, one or more fasteners configured to secure the suppressor shroud to the suppressor core of the suppressor assembly; and
unscrewing, by the third wrench, the one or more fasteners,
wherein the one or more fasteners are disposed at or proximate the distal end of the suppressor assembly, and wherein the one or more fasteners are configured to be disposed radially inward of the plurality of annularly arranged protrusions relative to a linear projectile axis defined by the suppressor assembly.
12 . A method of disassembling a suppressor assembly for a firearm, the method comprising:
engaging, by a first wrench comprising one or more teeth, a plurality of annularly arranged protrusions disposed at or proximate a distal end of the suppressor assembly, the plurality of annularly arranged protrusions defining one or more recesses therebetween;
engaging, by a second wrench comprising one or more wrench engagement surfaces, one or more corresponding suppressor engagement surfaces disposed at or proximate a proximal end of the suppressor assembly;
unscrewing, by the first wrench, at least a portion of a suppressor shroud from a suppressor core of the suppressor assembly by applying opposing torques on the suppressor shroud with the first wrench and the suppressor core with the second wrench;
engaging, by a third wrench comprising one or more wrench engagement surfaces, one or more fasteners configured to secure the suppressor shroud to the suppressor core of the suppressor assembly; and
unscrewing, by the third wrench, the one or more fasteners.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the second wrench comprises an arced portion that comprises one or more wrench engagement surfaces that engage the one or more corresponding suppressor engagement surfaces.
14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the second wrench comprises an elongated bar defining:
a first portion that is substantially linear;
a second portion that is substantially linear; and
the arced portion that comprises the one or more wrench engagement surfaces, wherein the arced portion is defined between the first portion and the second portion.
15 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising engaging one or more fasteners that secure the suppressor shroud to the suppressor core of the suppressor assembly with one or more wrench engagement surfaces of a third wrench.
16 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the first wrench comprises a ring-shaped portion, and wherein the one or more teeth extend at least partially toward a radial center of the ring-shaped portion from an inner side of the ring-shaped portion.
17 . The method of claim 12 , wherein:
the suppressor core comprises one or more baffles, each of the one or more baffles defining an opening aligned along a linear projectile axis defined by the suppressor core,
the suppressor shroud covers at least a portion of the suppressor core, and
the suppressor shroud comprises the plurality of annularly arranged protrusions.
