Claim Text:
1. A firearm suppressor system comprising: a) a firearm comprising a gun barrel configured to fire ammunition; b) a muzzle break attached to the gun barrel and comprising a muzzle break interior receiving the gun barrel, a muzzle break rear end facing the firearm and comprising a muzzle break rear opening leading to the muzzle break interior, a muzzle break forward end comprising a muzzle break forward opening leading to the muzzle break interior and configured to eject the ammunition, a muzzle break length extending from the muzzle break forward end to the muzzle break rear end, a muzzle break width perpendicular to the muzzle break length, a muzzle break circumference perpendicular to the muzzle break length, and a plurality of lugs spaced about the muzzle break circumference; c) a mount retention ring configured to receive the muzzle break and comprising an interior wall forming a mount retention ring interior, a mount retention ring exterior, a mount retention ring forward end comprising a mount retention ring forward opening leading to the mount retention ring interior, a mount retention ring rear end comprising a mount retention ring rear opening leading to the mount retention ring interior, a mount retention ring length extending from the mount retention ring forward end to the mount retention ring rear end, a mount retention ring circumference perpendicular to the mount retention ring length, a plurality of longitudinal grooves located in the interior wall, each longitudinal groove having a longitudinal groove forward end, a longitudinal groove rear end, a longitudinal groove length extending from the longitudinal groove forward end to the longitudinal groove rear end, the longitudinal groove length extending partially about the mount retention ring length, each of the longitudinal grooves configured to allow a lug of the plurality of lugs to pass therethrough, a plurality of circumferential grooves, each of the plurality of circumferential grooves located in the interior wall at the forward end of a longitudinal groove and extending partially about the mount retention ring circumference, each of the plurality of circumferential grooves configured to receive a lug from a longitudinal groove and having a circumferential groove rear side defined by a rear ledge located in the interior wall, a circumferential groove forward side defined by a forward ledge in the interior wall, the forward ledge located forwardly relative to the rear ledge in the mount retention ring interior, a circumferential groove thickness extending from the circumferential groove forward side to the circumferential groove rear side, a circumferential groove first radial side located adjacent to a longitudinal groove, a circumferential groove second radial side opposite the first radial side, a circumferential groove length extending from the first radial side to the second radial side and generally parallel to the mount retention ring circumference and generally perpendicular to the longitudinal groove lengths, a plurality of indentations, each indentation located in a rear ledge adjacent to a second radial side of a circumferential groove and extending toward the mount retention ring rear end, and a plurality of mount retention ring threads spaced about the exterior of the mount retention ring; and d) a silencer barrel comprising a silencer barrel interior comprising the mount retention ring, a silencer barrel exterior wall, a silencer barrel front end comprising a silencer barrel forward opening leading to the silencer barrel interior and configured to fire the ammunition, a silencer barrel rear end comprising a silencer barrel rear opening leading to the silencer barrel interior, a silencer barrel length extending from the silencer barrel front end to the silencer barrel rear end, and a plurality of silencer barrel threads located in the silencer barrel interior and mating with the mount retention ring threads, wherein, when the ammunition is fired from the firearm, the ammunition is configured to pass from the gun barrel, through the muzzle break interior, through the mount retention ring interior, and out the silencer barrel forward opening, and the silencer barrel interior is configured to dampen noise emanating from the firearm suppressor system, wherein the silencer barrel comprises a longitudinal axis parallel to the silencer barrel length and passing through the silencer barrel interior, wherein rotating the silencer barrel exterior wall a first rotation about the longitudinal axis relative to the muzzle break and the gun barrel when each lug is located in a circumferential groove and adjacent to the first radial side and adjacent to a rear ledge is configured to rotate the mount retention ring so that each second radial side moves toward and contacts a lug, and further wherein rotating the silencer barrel exterior wall a second rotation in the same direction as the first rotation about the longitudinal axis relative to the muzzle break and the gun barrel when each lug is located in a circumferential groove and contacting the second radial side is configured to move the mount retention ring threads about the silencer barrel threads and to move the mount retention ring longitudinally within the silencer barrel interior toward the silencer barrel front end so that each indentation approaches one of the lugs; wherein the system further comprises at least one retention spring exerting tension on the mount retention ring in the rear direction; and wherein the at least one retention spring comprises a forward end connected to a ledge within the silencer barrel interior and a rear end connected to a forward end of a pin, and further wherein the pin further comprises a rear end connected to the mount retention ring forward end.
