ABSTRACT:
A number of rifle parts are provided to improve the appearance, facilitate the assembly/disassembly, and/or ease the carrying of a conventional rifle. In a preferred application one or more of the rifle parts are used with a 22 caliber rifle. The rifle parts include a handle unit that can be added to the conventional rifle and which is separate and detachable from the rifle body. The handle unit can be connected to the rifle body using fasteners or a dovetail arrangement. The handle unit preferably includes aligning holes through which the shooter can see the original rifle sight at the free end of the rifle barrel. A front sight assembly is provided in which a front sight is elevated to be in alignment with the rear sight. The front sight assembly makes use of the original sight or the sight slot to maintain the proper sight line between the rear sight and the front sight. A barrel retaining assembly is also provided which can be substituted for the conventional barrel retaining device. The retention assembly includes a wedge movable relative to a support block for use in engaging/disengaging a rifle barrel notch. A lighter rifle barrel construction is also provided. The rifle barrel includes a metal barrel end member for connection to the rifle body, a metal insert member press fitted to the barrel end member, and a casing that surrounds the insert member. Preferably, the casing is made of a plastic-like material and the plastic is located about the insert member by injection molding.
