Abstract
A recoil pad assembly is provided for attachment to a firearm stock. The recoil pad assembly includes a recoil pad, which includes a rib extending along the outer edge of its base. The rib is disposed adjacent a wall of a base plate shaped to receive the recoil pad. A locking plate, disposed within the recoil pad, is forced downward by fastening screws which extend through the base plate and into the stock of a firearm. When the locking plate is forced to be flushed with a lower wall of the base plate, the rib of the recoil pad is held between the two. The base plate is provided with a plurality of apertures into which portions of the rib are forced, thereby locking the recoil pad into place.
