Recycling a Assault Rifle in Rust at Outpost & Bandit Camp returns 20 high quality metal, 80 wood, 1 metal spring, 1 rifle body 40% of the time, 1 metal spring 60% of the time. Weapons like this are usually worth breaking down rather than carrying — recycling is the steadiest way to turn loot into scrap for the tech tree. Radtown recyclers return more than the safezone ones at Outpost and Bandit Camp, so the two columns above differ — check which recycler you're standing at before you decide it's worth the trip.
