Patent number: 11662175Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Sig Sauer, Inc.Inventors: Bryan Charles Dustin, Samuel Beck

Patent number: 11248862Abstract: A charging handle for a firearm includes a longitudinal body with a proximal end portion and a distal end portion. The proximal end portion includes at least one latch lever operable between a first position and a second position, the latch lever including a blocking plate. Moving the handle from the first position to the second position moves the blocking plate from a blocking position to a non-blocking position. The charging handle can be used with a firearm that includes a protrusion extending up from the rear-end portion of the lower receiver or from the recoil assembly. In the blocking position, the blocking plate is aligned with the protrusion and prevents the charging handle from rearward movement. When the blocking plate is in the non-blocking position, the blocking plate clears the protrusion to permit the charging handle to be drawn rearward.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: SIG SAUER, INC.Inventors: Kenneth Samuel Frazier, Bryan Charles Dustin
