Abstract
A composite cartridge casing having a plurality of component parts, which may be of dissimilar materials such as metal and plastic, includes a tubular casing body formed with a mouth portion for receiving a projectile and with a breech portion which has a cylindrical interior wall extending forwardly from an opening in its base. An annular bridge insert member has a forward cup portion which is receivable through the base opening into the casing body, a rearward skirt portion of reduced diameter, and a frusto-conical central portion connecting the cup and skirt portions. After insertion of the bridge insert, the breech portion of the casing body is deformed and reduced to engage the frusto-conical and skirt portions, thereby securing the assembly and forming an extraction groove around the base of the casing. A head assembly is then attached to the base to complete the casing.
