Abstract
A receiver assembly for a rifle includes a receiver with a feed assembly configured for open-bolt operation. A feed cover is hingedly mounted to the receiver and includes a portion of the feed assembly, where the feed cover is movable between a closed position and an open position by pivoting about a hinge pin oriented along a longitudinal axis of the receiver. For example, the feed cover can pivot to one side of the receiver when in the open position. A rifle incorporating the receiver assembly is also disclosed.
