Abstract
A system for securing a barrel to a receiver of a rifle includes a barrel extension and a locking wedge. The barrel extension receives threads on the barrel and has a protuberance. The locking wedge is secured in an aperture in the receiver by a fastener. The locking wedge has a side parallel to the aperture, and a cam side disposed at an angle. The locking wedge is movable in a direction perpendicular to the barrel axis. The cam side is disposed against the protuberance. Tightening the fastener causes the cam side of the locking wedge to urge the protuberance of the barrel extension along the barrel axis in a direction away from the muzzle end of the barrel into the receiver.
