Johnstown, Pennsylvania Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
Wolf Precision Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for its groundbreaking advancement in firearm barrel technology. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent Application No. 20240255247, titled ‘Barrel throat insert’, introduces a replaceable throat component made from durable materials like titanium or tungsten, designed to enhance barrel longevity and maintain precision over time.
Wolf Precision Inc., a leader in precision rifle manufacturing, has unveiled a novel solution to a longstanding issue in firearms: barrel throat erosion. Their patented barrel throat insert addresses this by incorporating a durable, replaceable component into the barrel’s throat region, where wear is most severe.
This insert is crafted from materials such as titanium or tungsten, known for their superior hardness and heat resistance. By absorbing the extreme pressures and temperatures generated during firing, the insert protects the surrounding barrel material from degradation. This innovation not only extends the barrel’s lifespan but also ensures consistent accuracy over time.
The design allows for the throat insert to be replaced independently of the barrel, simplifying maintenance and reducing costs for shooters. This modular approach aligns with Wolf Precision’s commitment to delivering high-performance, user-friendly firearms.
With this invention, Wolf Precision Inc. continues to push the boundaries of firearm technology, offering practical solutions that enhance performance and durability for shooters at all levels.
