摘要:
An integrated barrel assembly, configured to cooperate with a firearm receiver assembly firearm, comprises a barrel having a breech end and a muzzle end and a connector for securing and aligning it with the receiver assembly. The design eliminates the need for a separate barrel and barrel extension and improves the structural integrity and performance of the firearm. The barrel defines a bolt head cavity, a chamber, and a bore all in fluid communication and serially extending from its breech end to muzzle end, and an internal breech face is created where the bolt head cavity meets the chamber. The bolt head cavity comprises bolt-locking lugs and angled feed ramps, and the chamber and bore are configured to cooperate with a particular cartridge case and projectile. The barrel preferably comprises steel or a steel alloy and a coating applied to the barrel's outer surface, inner surface, ends, and gas port.

A coating which improves the wear performance of a part is described. The coating is applied over an article such as a part or a workpiece using an electroplating process. The coating broadly includes a cobalt material matrix with a hardness of at least 550 HV and a plurality of carbide particles distributed throughout the cobalt material matrix. The cobalt material matrix may be a cobalt-phosphorous alloy. The particles interspersed throughout the matrix may be chrome carbide or silicon carbide particles.

Provided is a methodology and system for applying coatings onto the interior surfaces of components. The approach comprises a vapor creation device (for example an electron beam or laser that evaporates a single or multiplicity of solid or liquid sources), a vacuum chamber having a moderate gas pressure (between about 10−4 to about 103 Torr) and a inert gas jet having controlled velocity and flow fields of gas jet. The gas jet is created by a rarefied, inert gas supersonic expansion through a nozzle. By controlling the carrier gas flow into a region upstream of the nozzle an upstream pressure is achieved (i.e. the gas pressure prior to its entrance into the processing chamber through the nozzle). The carrier gas flow and chamber pumping rate control the downstream (or chamber) pressure (i.e., downstream of the nozzle). The ratio of the upstream to downstream pressure along with the size and shape of the nozzle opening controls the speed of the gas entering the chamber. The carrier gas molecular weight (compared to that of the vapor) and the carrier gas speed controls its effectiveness in redirecting the vapor atoms via binary collisions towards the substrate. The speed and flux of the atoms entering the chamber, the nozzle parameters, and the operating chamber pressure can all vary leading to a wide range of accessible processing conditions. Vapor created from a source is transported into the interior regions of a component using binary collisions between the vapor and gas jet atoms. Under certain process conditions these collisions enable the vapor atoms to scatter onto the interior surfaces of the component and deposit.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for cleaning both smokeless powder and black powder firearms comprising about 10 to 99 wt % of a fatty acid alkyl ester blend and about 1 to 25 wt % of at least one alkyl glycol ether, and additives designed to enhance the solvency and cleaning properties of the composition.

A method of coating an inner surface of a weapon barrel includes the following steps: directing a laser beam against the inner barrel surface to cause melting of regions thereof; introducing a coating material in one of powder, wire and ribbon form into the laser beam for melting the coating material to produce in the surface regions a molten bath composed of the molten coating material and a material of the weapon barrel; and moving the laser beam inside the weapon barrel axially thereof and relative thereto, whereby the molten substance of the bath becomes rigid as the laser beam moves away therefrom.

A method of providing an inner surface of a weapon barrel with a hard chromium layer includes the steps of forming the hard chromium layer on the inner surface by galvanic separation; and thereafter heating the hard chromium layer beyond the re-crystallization temperature thereof for obtaining, upon conclusion of the heating step, a uniform re-crystallization of the hard chromium layer in its entirety.

AN APPARATUS FOR HARDENING TUBULAR WORKPIECE BY ELECTRICAL GLOW DISCHARGE IN A GAS ATMOSPHERE. GAS IS DELIVERED INTO A GLOW DISCHARGE CHAMBER THROUGH A PIPE FUNCTIONING AS AN ANODE AND DISCHARGING GAS WITHIN THE TUBULAR WORKPIECE, GENERALLY MIDWAY OF ITS ENDS, THROUGH OPENINGS IN THE PIPE. BAFFLE MEANS FURTHER DEFLECT THE GAS TO EFFECT EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION THEREOF OVER THE INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE WORKPIECE, WHICH IS CONNECTED AS A CATHODE.

A method of forming a gun barrel is disclosed that includes applying one or more coatings to the gun barrel such as just a top coating, or a bond coating and then a top coating. The method may also include (before applying one or more coatings): threading an outer surface of the gun barrel proximate a first end of the gun barrel; threadedly coupling the first end of the gun barrel to a gun chamber; fixedly coupling the gun barrel to the gun chamber. The method may also include heat treating the coating layer(s), contouring the outer coating layer, applying a ceramic top coating to the contoured outer coating layer of the gun barrel, and/or sealing the gun barrel with a liquid metal sealer.

A firearm is provided that includes a receiver, a stock, an elongated barrel and a muzzle. The barrel extends from the receiver to the muzzle and has a rectangular internal bore extending from the receiver to the muzzle. The internal bore has two short sides and two long sides. A plurality of teeth extends along one of the short sides within the internal bore. The internal bore has an interior barrel surface that is a high friction surface.
