Alignment aid for a suppressor
An alignment aid for a suppressor includes a sleeve having an external surface and an internal surface. An alignment slot extends longitudinally along the external surface of the sleeve. A groove is in the internal surface, and a strip is at least partially in the groove. A set screw is engaged with the strip to bias the strip radially inward from the groove.
1. An alignment aid for a suppressor, comprising:
a sleeve having an external surface and an internal surface;
an alignment slot that extends longitudinally along said external surface of said sleeve;
a groove in said internal surface;
a strip at least partially in said groove; and
a set screw engaged with said strip to bias said strip radially inward from said groove.
2. The alignment aid as in claim 1 , wherein said groove extends longitudinally in said internal surface.
3. The alignment aid as in claim 1 , wherein said groove has a width that increases radially outward in said internal surface.
4. The alignment aid as in claim 1 , wherein said strip has a width that increases radially outward.
5. The alignment aid as in claim 1 , further comprising a retainer screw engaged with said strip to limit movement of said strip with respect to said sleeve.
6. The alignment aid as in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of the grooves in said internal surface.
7. The alignment aid as in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of the set screws engaged with said strip to bias said strip radially inward from said groove.
8. An alignment aid for a suppressor, comprising:
a sleeve;
an alignment slot that extends longitudinally along said sleeve;
an internal surface defined by said sleeve, wherein said internal surface is cylindrical;
a groove in said internal surface;
a strip at least partially in said groove; and
a set screw that passes through said sleeve to bias said strip radially away from said groove.
9. The alignment aid as in claim 8 , wherein said groove extends longitudinally in said internal surface.
10. The alignment aid as in claim 8 , wherein said groove has a width that increases radially outward in said internal surface.
11. The alignment aid as in claim 8 , wherein said strip has a width that increases radially outward.
12. The alignment aid as in claim 8 , further comprising a retainer screw engaged with said strip to limit movement of said strip with respect to said sleeve.
13. The alignment aid as in claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of the grooves in said internal surface.
14. The alignment aid as in claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of the set screws engaged with said strip to bias said strip radially inward from said groove.
15. An alignment aid for a suppressor, comprising:
a sleeve;
an alignment slot that extends longitudinally along said sleeve; and
a means for releasably engaging said sleeve to the suppressor.
16. The alignment aid as in claim 15 , wherein said alignment slot has a width that decreases longitudinally along said sleeve.
17. The alignment aid as in claim 15 , further comprising a retainer screw engaged with said means for releasably engaging said sleeve to the suppressor.
18. The alignment aid as in claim 15 , wherein said means for releasably engaging said sleeve to the suppressor comprises a strip inside said sleeve that moves radially with respect to said sleeve to releasably engage with the suppressor.
19. The alignment aid as in claim 15 , wherein said means for releasably engaging said sleeve to the suppressor comprises a set screw in threaded engagement with said sleeve.
20. The alignment aid as in claim 15 , further comprising a groove in said sleeve, and said means for releasably engaging said sleeve to the suppressor extends radially inward from said groove.
