Suppressor design
An improved design for a suppressor which suppresses sound from a gun report as well as reduces heat transference therefrom.
1. A locking lug system for a suppressor comprising:
a muzzle brake comprising at least one thread and a plurality of alignment blocks;
a muzzle brake cover that is slidably engaged over the muzzle brake;
a triple wave washer positioned between the muzzle brake and muzzle brake cover;
a lug muzzle end cap comprising at least one thread wherein the muzzle brake and the lug muzzle end cap are joined to one another via engagement of the at least one thread and at least two adjacent alignment blocks of the muzzle brake and the at least one thread on the lug muzzle end cap;
and
a lock latch plate having a locking tab, the lock latch plate slides within the lug muzzle end cap, wherein the lock latch plate locking tab engages between at least two adjacent alignment blocks to prevent rotation of the lug muzzle end cap.
2. The locking lug system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one pin to affix the muzzle brake cover to the muzzle brake.
3. The locking lug system of claim 1 , further comprising multiple threads arranged in a multiple columns with the multiple columns separated by multiple slots.
4. The locking lug system of claim 3 , wherein the slots separating the columns are the same length as the multiple threads comprising the multiple columns.
5. The locking lug system of claim 1 , wherein the muzzle brake defines at least one vent in the muzzle brake body.
6. The locking lug system of claim 1 , wherein the triple wave washer is compressible and the muzzle brake cover may be moved to disengage the muzzle brake cover from at least one locking pin via compression of the triple wave washer.
7. The locking lug system of claim 1 , wherein the locking lug system is integrated into a suppressor.
8. The locking lug system of claim 1 , wherein the locking lug system is not integrated into a suppressor but is attached to a muzzle of a firearm.
9. A method for forming a locking lug system for a suppressor comprising:
forming a muzzle brake that defines at least one thread and a plurality of alignment blocks;
slidably engaging a muzzle brake cover over the muzzle brake;
positioning a triple wave washer between the muzzle brake and muzzle brake cover;
affixing a lug muzzle end cap, also comprising at least one thread, to the muzzle brake via engagement of the at least one thread on the muzzle brake and the at least one thread on the lug muzzle end cap, and at least two adjacent alignment blocks on the muzzle brake;
and
sliding a lock latch plate having a locking tab within the lug muzzle end cap, wherein the lock latch plate locking tab engages between at least two adjacent alignment blocks to prevent rotation of the lug muzzle end cap.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising providing at least one pin to affix the muzzle brake cover to the muzzle brake.
11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising arranging multiple threads in a multiple columns with the multiple columns separated by multiple slots.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the slots separating the columns are the same length as the multiple threads comprising the multiple columns.
13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising defining at least one vent in the muzzle brake body.
14. The method of claim 9 , further comprising forming the triple wave washer to be compressible and moving the muzzle brake cover to disengage the muzzle brake cover from at least one locking pin via compression of the triple wave washer.
15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising forming the locking lug system integrally with a suppressor.
16. The method of claim 9 , further comprising forming the locking lug system to attach to a muzzle of a firearm and not integrally formed with a suppressor.
