Abstract

A rifle barrel is disclosed. The rifle barrel contains a rear end, an exit end, an outer barrel surface defining a barrel bore, a gas port in communication with the barrel bore, wherein the gas port is at an acute angle to the barrel bore, wherein the gas port is configured to accommodate a gas tube.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A rifle barrel comprising:
 a rear end;   an exit end;   an outer barrel surface defining a barrel bore; and   a gas port in communication with the barrel bore;   wherein the gas port is at an acute angle to the barrel bore;   wherein the gas port is configured to accommodate a gas tube.   
     
     
         2 . The rifle barrel of  claim 1 , wherein the rear end defines a plurality of locking lug channel peaks. 
     
     
         3 . The rifle barrel of  claim 1 , wherein the rifle barrel and the plurality of locking lug channel peaks form a monolithic structure. 
     
     
         4 . The rifle barrel of  claim 1 , wherein the rear end defines a plurality of lug channels configured to accommodate a plurality of locking lugs of a bolt. 
     
     
         5 . An assembly comprising:
 a rifle barrel comprising a gas port in communication with a barrel bore, wherein the rifle bore comprises a rear end and an exit end; and   a gas tube comprising a forward end, wherein the forward end comprises a front surface, wherein the gas tube defines a gas tube bore formed through the front surface;   wherein the gas tube is removably coupled with the gas port to allow at least a portion of compressed gas to exit the barrel bore and enter the gas tube bore through the front surface.   
     
     
         6 . The assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the rear end of the rifle barrel defines a plurality of locking lug channel peaks. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the rifle barrel and the plurality of locking lug channel peaks form a monolithic structure. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the rear end of the rifle barrel defines a plurality of lug channels configured to accommodate a plurality of locking lugs of a bolt. 
     
     
         9 . An assembly comprising:
 a rifle barrel comprising a gas port in communication with a barrel bore, wherein the rifle bore comprises a rear end and an exit end;   wherein the gas port is at an acute angle to the barrel bore.   
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 9  further comprising:
 a gas tube comprising a forward end, wherein the forward end comprises a front surface, wherein the gas tube defines a gas tube bore formed through the front surface; 
 wherein the gas tube is removably coupled with the gas port to allow at least a portion of compressed gas to exit the barrel bore and enter the gas tube bore through the front surface. 
 
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 10 , wherein the rear end of the rifle barrel defines a plurality of locking lug channel peaks. 
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 11 , wherein the rifle barrel and the plurality of locking lug channel peaks form a monolithic structure. 
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the rear end of the rifle barrel defines a plurality of lug channels configured to accommodate a plurality of locking lugs of a bolt.
