Abstract
A modular weapon in which the recoil transferring feature attaches to the barrel proximate the breech end of the barrel. The inventive approach allows the assembly of the barrel and the receiver to flex freely while still providing a path for the recoil impulse to travel to an external object—such as the body of the shooter in the case of a shoulder-fired rifle embodiment. This novel approach increases accuracy.
