Abstract

A recoil reduction device for a gun includes a gun stock having forward and rear portions that move with respect to each other. Recoil reduction springs are disposed between the movable portions of the stock to absorb the recoil force. The springs are disposed around pins that extend rearwardly from a block. The pins include stops that limit the movement of the rear portion of the stock. The stops may also be used in combination with a recoil reduction lock and a secondary recoil reduction device.
