Receivers

A firearm receiver, often referred to as the frame, is the main component of a gun that houses the internal mechanisms and provides structure for other parts. It contains crucial elements such as the hammer, bolt, firing pin, and extractor, and features interfaces for attaching components like the barrel, stock, trigger mechanism, and sights. Receivers can be made from materials like steel, aluminum, polymer, or sintered metal powder, and they play a vital role in the firearm’s overall function and performance.
