Abstract
A recoil pad assembly is provided for attachment to a firearm stock. The assembly includes a recoil pad section and a bracket attachment section integrally formed therewith. The recoil pad section includes a number of levels along the height thereof. Each of the levels has cut-outs together with ribs and membranes interspersed among the cut-outs. The arrangement of the cut-outs, ribs and membranes provides desired strength for cushioning against recoil forces generated by the firearm while enhancing the softness of the recoil pad section material. The assembly also includes a mounting bar subassembly affixed to the firearm stock. The mounting bar subassembly includes ramping surfaces. Containment brackets are joined to the bracket attachment section and are drawn together using the ramping surfaces and the tightening of fasteners. By this connection, the recoil pad subassembly and the containment brackets are connected and properly fitted to the firearm stock by being drawn both downwardly and inwardly as the two containment brackets are brought together.
