Abstract

A conversion kit for a recoil-operating automatic pistol to convert it to direct blow-back operation utilizes a two piece barrel having chamber and muzzle portions that may be threaded together. The chamber portion is first installed on the receiver by insertion through the injection port, and the muzzle-piece is then threaded to the chamber-piece to complete the assembly of the barrel.
