Abstract
A recoil booster for use with a sound suppressor for a firearm includes a hollow piston configured to be coupled to the firearm, a cap assembly, and a housing configured to be coupled to the sound suppressor. The cap assembly is removably coupled to the housing and includes an inner periphery configured to slidably guide a head portion of the piston. The housing includes an internal shoulder configured to abut the head portion of the piston in a nominal position of the booster. When the cap assembly is uncoupled from the housing, the piston is removable from the booster by sliding the head portion of the piston forward out of the cap assembly.
