ABSTRACT:
To reduce the caliber of a muzzle-loading handgun, an inner barrel is inserted into the normal, outer barrel to which it is positively fastened only at the muzzle end. The rear end of the inner barrel adjoins a nipple, screwed into the breech portion of the outer barrel, which has a rearwardly projecting boss adapted to carry a percussion cap lodged in a recess of a hammer when the latter is uncocked. The nipple has a bore offset from or inclined to the barrel axis to reduce the reaction of the explosive charge upon the hammer when the percussion cap is detonated. The inner barrel fits tightly into the outer barrel in the vicinity of the nipple but is of reduced diameter over the greater part of its length for easier insertion.
