Claim:
1. A modular noise suppressor for a firearm, comprising: a first section including a mount configured for connection to the firearm, a body attached to the mount and defining an interior passage extending therealong, and at least one baffle received within the interior passage of the body; a second section including an elongate body defining an interior passage with at least one additional baffle positioned therewithin, the second section configured to be removably connected to the first section such that the interior passages of the first section and second section are substantially aligned with one another, wherein other elongate bodies of different lengths can be substituted for the elongated body to enable reconfiguration of the noise suppressor to form extended and compact configurations of the noise suppressor; and an end cap mountable to a front end of the second section and configured to apply an axial compressive force directed against the at least one additional baffle of the second section as the end cap is mounted to the front end thereof, wherein the axial compressive force is communicated through the at least one additional baffle of the second section to the first section so as to prevent relative movement between the first and second sections.
