Abstract

A rifle has a barrel which is mounted detachably in the housing in that pairs of clamping rings (11, 12) are provided between the rear part of the barrel (5) and the inner cylindrical surface (3) of the housing (1), which clamping rings (11, 12) have mutually facing conical surfaces and are pressed axially by a clamping nut (13) against a collar (7) on the barrel (5). Such a barrel mounting can also be used for a housing made of light alloy, with simple production and with production-dependent tolerances and alignment errors being eliminated.
