Abstract
A recoil system is deployed with a slide plug comprising a catch means along with a plug retainer comprising a catch means. The slide plug catch means and plug retainer catch means may be compatible to permit the slide plug catch means and the plug retainer catch means to interfit and hold the recoil system in a partially compressed configuration. A method comprising a step of interfitting a slide plug catch means with a plug retainer catch means to hold the recoil system in a partially compressed configuration is described.
Claims15
A recoil system comprising:
- a slide plug comprising a first catch means;
- and
- a guide rod having a forward end, the guide rod comprising a plug retainer disposed at the forward end, and the plug retainer comprising a second catch means;
- with
- the first catch means and the second catch means configured compatibly to interfit;
- and with
- the recoil system having a partially compressed configuration in which
- the guide rod is tilted with respect to the slide plug, and
- the first catch means and the second catch means interfit.
A method of installing a recoil system in a firearm or removing a recoil system from a firearm, the method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a recoil system comprising
- a slide plug comprising a first catch means, and
- a guide rod having a forward end, the guide rod comprising a plug retainer disposed at the forward end, and the plug retainer comprising a second catch means, and
- a damper assembly or recoil spring, with
- the first catch means and the second catch means configured compatibly to interfit, and with
- the recoil system having an assembled configuration in which the damper assembly or recoil spring exerts a forward force on the slide plug and a reward force on the guide rod;
- with the recoil system in an assembled configuration, applying pressure to the guide rod to translate the guide rod forward with respect to the slide plug;
- tilting the guide rod with respect to the slide plug;
- partially releasing the pressure to interfit the first catch means with the second catch means;
- fully releasing the pressure to leave the recoil system in a partially compressed configuration;
- and
- installing the recoil system in a firearm or removing the recoil system from a firearm with the recoil system in the partially compressed configuration.
A recoil system comprising:
- a guide rod comprising a tab disposed at a forward end of the guide rod;
- and
- a reverse plug configured to permit tilting of the guide rod within the reverse plug and engagement of the tab with a forward end of the reverse plug;
- and
- a damper assembly or recoil spring;
- with
- the recoil system having a partially compressed configuration in which
- the guide rod extends through the reverse plug in a tilted orientation,
- the tab and the forward end of the reverse plug interfit, and
- the guide rod and damper assembly or recoil spring are captured in the reverse plug.
