Modular firearm suppressor
A modular suppressor kit includes a modular suppressor and suppressor tool. The modular suppressor includes a barrel attachment portion that has a central passage. The barrel attachment portion is configured to attach to a firearm barrel. The modular suppressor includes a cap portion that has a central passage. The modular suppressor includes a body portion that has an internal baffle structure and an expansion chamber. The body portion is attachable to, and separable from, the barrel attachment portion and the cap portion. The body portion defines a central passage that is alignable with the central passage of the barrel attachment portion and the central passage of the cap portion. The suppressor tool has an engagement feature for engaging with at least one of the barrel attachment portion, cap portion, and body portion.
1. A modular suppressor kit comprising:
a modular suppressor comprising:
a barrel attachment portion having a central passage, the barrel attachment portion being configured to attach to a firearm barrel;
a cap portion having a central passage; and
two or more body portions, each body portion having an internal baffle structure and an expansion chamber, and each body portion being attachable to, and separable from, each other and at least one of the barrel attachment portion and the cap portion, wherein the two or more body portions define a central passage being alignable with the central passage of the barrel attachment portion and the central passage of the cap portion; wherein at least one body portion comprises a plurality of exterior recesses spaced apart from an end of the body portion that is external and nearest the cap portion when the modular suppressor is assembled; and
a suppressor tool having at least one projection configured to engage at least one exterior recess of the at least one body portion;
wherein each recess is spaced apart from an end of the body portion that is distal the barrel attachment portion when the modular suppressor is assembled.
2. The modular suppressor kit of claim 1 , wherein the barrel attachment portion, cap portion and each body portion are generally cylindrical.
3. The modular suppressor kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one projection of the suppressor tool prevents relative movement between the suppressor tool and at least one of the barrel attachment portion, cap portion, and body portions when the suppressor tool is engaged with at least one of the barrel attachment portion, cap portion, and body portion.
4. The modular suppressor kit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of recesses are sized to receive the at least one projection.
5. The modular suppressor kit of claim 1 , wherein the suppressor tool comprises:
a first and a second body mated with one another, wherein the at least one projection is positioned on a wall of at least one of the first and second bodies.
6. The modular suppressor kit of claim 5 , wherein the first and second bodies combine to form a cylindrical passage when the suppressor tool is in a closed position.
7. The modular suppressor kit of claim 5 , wherein the cap portion comprises an exterior projection surrounding the central passage.
8. The modular suppressor kit of claim 7 , wherein the suppressor tool has a cap recess that is sized to receive the exterior projection of the cap portion so as to prevent relative movement between the suppressor tool and the cap portion when the cap recess receives the exterior projection.
