Abstract:
A recoil dampening assembly for a firearm that includes a bolt assembly and a stock that is linearly moveable with respect to the bolt assembly, comprising:a plurality of elastically deformable, cup-shaped shock-absorbing members having a compression cavity defined therein; and a plurality of rigid spacers interspaced between the shock-absorbing members; wherein the plurality of shock-absorbing members and rigid spacers are adapted to be placed between a bolt assembly of a firearm and a stock of the firearm, and wherein the plurality of shock-absorbing members and rigid spacers are further adapted to dampen the recoil as transmitted from the bolt assembly to the stock when a charge within the firearm is ignited by allowing each shock-absorbing member to at least partially compress within the compression cavity.
