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.

Recoil assembly for a machine gun

An assembly is configured for retaining a muzzle accessory mounted on a firearm barrel or to a muzzle adapter on the barrel, where the muzzle accessory has a mount with female threads on an inside and male threads on an outside of the mount. The outside of the muzzle adapter has male threads and a bearing surface. A locking nut has inner female threads and an inside taper located proximally of the female threads. A locking ring has a tapered outside face configured to engage the inside taper of the locking nut and an inside face configured to engage the bearing surface. When assembled, the mount is threaded onto the muzzle adapter and the locking nut is threaded onto the accessory mount with the locking ring engaging the bearing surface of the muzzle adapter and the inside taper of the locking nut.

Mounting and retention assembly for suppressors

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.

Techniques and architectures are disclosed for a gas operating system for a firearm. The system includes a barrel having a bore including a rifled portion. Attached to the barrel is a gas block. Located distally of the rifled portion of the bore is a gas expansion chamber in fluid communication with the bore and the gas block. In some examples, the gas expansion chamber includes a diameter at least twice the bore diameter. The gas block of the gas operating system, in some examples, includes a piston, where in response to receiving gases from the gas expansion chamber, the piston cycles the gas operating system.
