Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9841809A1] A training barrel for a normally breech-locked, blow-back operated firearm omits the breech-locked function and replaces it with a barrel positioning device attached to the barrel. A spring provides the force to displace the barrel rearwardly to properly position it to receive the next cartridge being loaded.
