1. A rifle comprising:
- (a) a rifle assembly for attachment to a release assembly that forms the rifle when completely assembled, the release assembly, comprising;
(b) a rail assembly including;
(i) a sleeve configured to directly attach to the rifle assembly;
(ii) an elongate rail mount having a first end and second end that are spaced apart from one another, wherein;
the first end of the elongate rail mount securely receives the sleeve of the rail assembly therein, andthe spaced apart second end of the elongate rail mount has flared portions that are configured to securely mate within a rail of the rail assembly; and
(iii) a rail having a first end and second end that are spaced apart from one another, wherein;
the first end of the rail is configured to receive and securely mate with the flared portions of the second end of the elongate rail mount to align the sleeve, elongate rail mount, and rail along the longitudinal axis of the rail assembly,the first end of the rail further includes a plurality of securing levers positioned externally thereon with a first securing lever configured to engage and disengage the elongate rail mount and a second securing lever configured to engage and disengage a barrel assembly to release the rail and barrel assemblies from the rifle assembly, andthe second end of the rail is configured to receive the barrel assembly therein; and
(c) the barrel assembly including a barrel having a first end and a second end that are spaced apart from one another, wherein;
a portion of the barrel assembly is configured to advance through the rail of the rail assembly and is securely received within the second end of the elongate rail mount such that the second securing lever of the rail assembly securely engages the barrel assembly such that the barrel assembly and rail assembly are aligned to form an internal channel in fluid communication with the assault assembly.

Abstract
A free-floating rifle rail and barrel locking system that provides a barrel assembly and rail assembly, which is detachable from the main body of a rifle without tools. This is advantageous for quick field breakdown and/or rifle modification. The user has the option to disassemble the rifle for easy transport, to change barrel length, to change barrel caliber or change rail configurations. The rails are free-floating, meaning the rails do not come in contact with the barrel and thus do not impact the precision of the rifle.
