The Rifle Body breaks down into High Quality Metal and Scrap.
A recycler takes them one at a time, so a full stack of 10 goes through in 10 cycles.
Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “2 + 25%” means 2 every time and a 25% chance of one more. Scrap keeps its decimals: the recycler pays whole pieces and carries the rest into its next payout. Scrap per stack is for one full stack of the item.
