A Thrust Plate is a component used to absorb and distribute the recoil forces generated during the operation of a recoil-operated mechanism. Its primary function is to transmit the recoil forces from the bolt assembly to the frame, effectively distributing and managing the energy generated by the firing process.

Attributes:
• Designed to withstand the high pressures and forces
• Acts as a friction surface and helps to absorb and redirect the recoil energy
• Manufactured with steel to handle the repeated impact and sliding action during recoil

Applications:
A Thrust Plate is used in the telescoping recoil frame.
