20140026460 | STOCK BEDDING SYSTEM FOR FIREARM - A stock bedding system for a firearm is disclosed. In one embodiment, the stock bedding system includes a stock having a pair of bearing surfaces that are configured and arranged to mutually engage a mating pair of bearing surfaces formed on the barrel-receiver assembly. At least one of the four bearing surfaces has a predetermined convex surface profile which causes the barrel-receiver assembly to roll in an angular direction away from one lateral side of the stock towards the opposite lateral side when the barrel-receiver assembly is mourned to the stock. The convex surface profile acts to tighten the engagement between the opposing bearing surfaces of the barrel-receiver assembly and stock providing a secure and vibration resistant mounting. In one embodiment, the convex-shaped bearing surface is defined by a pillar lug mounted in the stock which engages a mating substantially fiat bearing surface formed on the barrel-receiver assembly. | 01-30-2014 |
20140165443 | Recoil Reducer - The present invention relates to a recoil reducer for a firearm. The recoil reducer includes a means to reduce the energy transmitted from the firearm via the use of a soft viscoelastic gel, which is surrounded by means to further reduce the energy transmitted, above that provided solely by the characteristics of the gel, while at the same time holding the soft gel in place and assisting it to return to its pre-distortion state. | 06-19-2014 |
20140250756 | RECOIL REDUCTION FIREARM STOCK ASSEMBLY - A recoil reduction stock assembly for a shoulder-fired firearm is described that includes a rear stock section housing a recoil reduction mechanism attachable to firearms with different receiver rear faces by using a front stock section having a rear face attachable to the rear stock section front face and a front face attachable to the rear face of the receiver. The assembly may include one rear stock section housing the recoil reduction mechanism and a plurality of front stock sections, each front stock section having the same rear face profile, but different front face profiles conforming to different receiver rear faces. The recoil reduction mechanism includes a compressible spring and a plunger, whereby recoil of said firearm compresses the spring against the plunger to absorb recoil. The assembly may also include a cheek rest slidably attached over a part of the rear stock section and attached to the recoil mechanism. | 09-11-2014 |
20140259849 | BUTT PLATE WITH MONOPOD - A butt plate for a gun, in particular a long gun, with an intermediate piece to be attached to the rear side of a butt of the gun facing toward the shooter and with a plate made of a recoil-damping material, which is attachable to the side of the intermediate piece facing toward the shooter. A monopod is accommodated in a recess of the intermediate piece in a slidable manner such that the monopod can be moved from a position in which it is substantially arranged within the recess into at least a second position in which an end of the monopod protrudes out of the intermediate piece in such a manner that the butt can be supported on a solid base by means of the monopod. The intermediate piece is substantially made of a machinable material. | 09-18-2014 |

20160116249 | Short Collapsible Rifle Stock - A collapsible rifle stock which provides a significantly shorter and more compatible stock designs. The stock includes a recoil pad, a buffer tube assembly, a buffer-receiving cavity, a track, a locking mechanism, and a release mechanism. The buffer-receiving cavity traverses through the recoil pad to facilitate a short collapsed configuration for the stock. The track is adjacently connected to the recoil pad, oriented parallel to a central axis of the buffer-receiving cavity. The buffer tube assembly attaches the stock to the rifle. The buffer tube assembly is slidably engaged along the track to allow for relative movement. The locking mechanism in conjunction with the release mechanism allow the user to position the stock into a collapsed and an extended configuration. The locking mechanism is mechanically integrated in between the track and the buffer tube assembly. The release mechanism is mechanically integrated in between the track and the recoil pad. | 04-28-2016 |
20160123697 | Easy Alignment Stock - A mechanism, which may be integral with the gun parts and which permits the butt of a shouldered firearm, that either shoots shot or projectiles, to be pivoted about an axis, or which is integral to the gun parts whereby the stock butt is pivoted by design and fixed in place, or which may be manufactured as an after-market item, and which permits the butt of a shoulder-fired gun to be pivoted about a central point. This final design only applies to any shouldered firearm where firing mechanism, barrel, and sighting device are elevated above stock butt. | 05-05-2016 |
