Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a modular firearm frame adapter that aid in making compatible a slide associated with a first firearm and a frame associated with a second firearm. The compatibility is such that the slide associated with a first firearm and a magazine associated with a second firearm being able to function properly as a single integrated firearm. This system includes an adapter, and one or more adapter elements that aids allowing the modular firearm to function properly.

Claims (30)

1. A modular firearm frame device, comprising:

a receiver rail which mechanically interacts with a firearm slide mechanically sized to operate on a first firearm model;

a magazine port which mechanically accepts a magazine from a second firearm model, different from the first firearm model;

a ramp that slopes downward from a top portion of the magazine port such that the longest extension of the ramp from the magazine port is at the top portion of the magazine port and the shortest extension of the ramp from the magazine port is at a bottom portion of the magazine port.

2. The modular firearm frame device of claim 1 , wherein the adapter includes a second ramp disposed on a side of the magazine port opposite the ramp.

3. The modular firearm frame device of claim 1 , wherein the ramp on the side of the magazine port includes a spine disposed on the distal end of the ramp.

4. The modular firearm frame device of claim 3 , wherein the spine is positioned parallel to the length of the magazine port.

5. The modular firearm frame device of claim 4 , the ramp further comprising:

a wedge that extends substantially perpendicularly to the spine.

6. The modular firearm frame device of claim 5 , the ramp further comprising:

a tail that connects to both the spine and the wedge.

7. The modular firearm frame device of claim 6 , wherein the tail follows the slope of the wedge and the slope of the spine.

8. The modular firearm frame device of claim 2 , wherein the second ramp includes a second spine disposed on the distal end of ramp.

9. The modular firearm frame device of claim 8 wherein the second ramp further comprises a wedge that extends substantially perpendicularly to the spine.

10. The modular firearm frame device of claim 9 , wherein the second ramp further comprises a second tail that connects to both the spine and the wedge.

11. A modular firearm frame device comprising:

a pin aperture disposed in the modular firearm frame device which provides a connection point for a handgun slide of a first handgun; and

a magazine port sized to operably receive a magazine that is inoperable in the first handgun; and

a ramp that slopes downward from a top portion of the magazine port such that the longest extension of the ramp from the magazine port is at the top portion of the magazine port and the shortest extension of the ramp from the magazine port is at a bottom portion of the magazine port.

12. The modular firearm frame device of claim 11 , wherein the adapter includes a second ramp disposed on a side of the magazine port opposite the ramp.

13. The modular firearm frame device of claim 11 , wherein the ramp on the side of the magazine port includes a spine disposed on the distal end of the ramp.

14. The modular firearm frame device of claim 13 , wherein the spine is positioned parallel to the length of the magazine port.

15. The modular firearm frame device of claim 14 , the ramp further comprising:

a wedge that extends substantially perpendicularly to the spine.

16. The modular firearm frame device of claim 15 , the ramp further comprising:

a tail that connects to both the spine and the wedge.

17. The modular firearm frame device of claim 16 , wherein the tail follows the slope of the wedge and the slope of the spine.

18. The modular firearm frame device of claim 12 , wherein the second ramp includes a second spine disposed on the distal end of ramp.

19. The modular firearm frame device of claim 18 wherein the second ramp further comprises a wedge that extends substantially perpendicularly to the spine.

20. The modular firearm frame device of claim 19 , wherein the second ramp further comprises a second tail that connects to both the spine and the wedge.
