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, includes a plurality of elastically deformable shock-absorbing members having a compression cavity defined therein, and a plurality of rigid spacers interspaced between the shock absorbing members. 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 a firearm. The plurality of shock-absorbing members and rigid spacers are adapted to dampen the recoil as transmitted from the bolt assembly to the stock when a charge that is in the firearm is ignited by allowing each shock absorbing member to at least partially compress within the compression zone.
