assembled recoil guide rod for Ak-47

grabcad

The recoil assembly in an AK-47/AKM rifle consists of a spring and a buffer. When the weapon is fired, the barrel assembly recoils backward due to the propellant gases. The spring's primary function is to absorb this rearward movement and push the bolt back into place for another round. To determine the length of the spring when disassembled, simply remove it from the rifle and measure its uncompressed length with a ruler or caliper.
