A recoil assembly for a rifle includes a barrel assembly, a bolt, bolt actuator, and a buffer assembly. The barrel assembly includes a barrel secured to a barrel extension. The barrel assembly is slidably received in the receiver and the barrel extension is coupled to a hydraulic buffer assembly located below the barrel extension. The hydraulic buffer assembly is configured and arranged to arrest rearward movement of the barrel assembly when the rifle is fired. An op-rod spring is coupled to an op rod extending that can be actuated by a gas piston assembly on the barrel. The op-rod spring is configured and arranged to arrest rearward movement of the bolt assembly.

An ammunition carrier assembly includes a first plate having a first portion and a second portion, where the first plate is folded so that the second portion faces the first portion and the second portion extends from a fold along part of the first portion. A second plate is configured to be fixedly attached to the first plate. The second plate has a planar portion and a hub that extends away from a face of the planar portion. The hub defines openings in opposite sides of the hub. The first plate is sized and configured to be installed on a panel of an ammunition container such that the panel and part of the second plate is between the first and second portions of the first plate. The assembly can be part of a system that includes a magazine well attached to a machine gun.

A recoil assembly for a rifle includes a barrel assembly, a bolt, bolt actuator, and a buffer assembly. The barrel assembly includes a barrel secured to a barrel extension. The barrel assembly is configured to be movably received through the fore end of a receiver and to move axially relative to the upper receiver when the rifle is fired. The barrel extension is coupled to a hydraulic buffer assembly located below the barrel extension and counteracts recoil forces acting on the barrel extension when the rifle is fired. An op-rod spring is coupled to an op rod extending from a gas piston assembly on the barrel. The op-rod spring counteracts recoil forces acting the bolt actuator when the rifle is fired.

A handgun sear has a sear body extending between a proximal end portion to a distal end portion. The sear defines a first engagement surface adjacent the proximal end portion and a second engagement surface positioned distally of the first engagement surface. The sear can pivot about the distal end portion between a cocked position and a displaced position. The second engagement surface can be used to arrest forward movement of the striker in the event of an impulse that causes the striker to disengage from the first engagement surface. The sear may be incorporated into a fire control assembly of a semiautomatic handgun or other firearm.
