I have never seen that type of supressor but it makes a lot of sense. I suspect the thick barrel base mates with a corresponding bevel on the rear of the supressor to provide a gas seal. The whole configuration provides a much more compact arrangement since it gives essentially an extended length supressor without hanging it on the end of the barrel. I'll bet there is a patent document out there someplace. A really interesting concept. Thank you for posting it Thomas!
