Gun barrel taper for attaching threaded accessories

Abstract

The adding of a taper at the end of the handgun barrel having a threaded end for accessories that matches an opposing taper in an accessory to enable more precision in the alignment of the accessory on the handgun barrel and a more secure interface is disclosed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tapered end on a handgun barrel having a threaded end for attaching accessories allowing for improved concentricity and locking interface comprising:
 a handgun barrel;   said handgun barrel having a threaded end;   said handgun barrel having a taper before said threaded end of said handgun barrel; and,   such that when accessories having an opposing taper of similar angle and depth of said handgun barrel taper are screwed onto said threaded end of said handgun barrel, said opposing tapers allow said accessories to contact and mount with concentricity to said handgun barrel and also create a locking interface between said accessory and said handgun barrel.
