Patent attributes
A recoil assembly for a rifle includes a baseplate comprising a baseplate body extending longitudinally along a central axis from a proximal end to a distal end, the baseplate body defining an opening extending along the central axis and configured to receive an end of a recoil spring guide rod. A latch plate extends up from the top surface of the baseplate body, the latch plate defining a charging handle opening a catch surface for a charging handle latch. In use, the recoil baseplate can be received in an aperture defined in the upper receiver of a rifle, where one or more recoil spring guide rods are received in the opening in the baseplate body. A charging handle can be slidably received through the charging handle opening and charging handle aperture of the upper receiver.
