A buffer tower for a rifle includes a cut-out on an upper end thereof. The cut-out extends a travel length of the bolt during bolt action. The cut-out extends the travel length by greater than 10 mm. This extended travel length reduces the felt recoil of the rifle and increases the cycle time. An increased cycle time improves feeding reliability from the magazine.

A stock for a gun is disclosed which includes a butt stock body (12). The butt stock body may include a butt plate receptacle (108). The stock further may include a butt plate assembly (20) positioned in the butt plate receptacle (108), a cheek piece (18) releasably secured to the butt stock body (12) and the butt plate assembly (20), and a clamp (30). The stock may include first and second configurations such that in the first configuration the clamp permits independent movement of the butt plate assembly (20) and the cheek piece (18), and in the second configuration the clamp fixes movement of the butt plate assembly and the cheek piece relative to the butt stock body. The clamp (30) may be assembled within the stock body (12) to provide for variable adjustment of the butt stock with a dominant hand on the firearm grip.

A recoil absorber for a firearm including a housing, a stock carrier assembly, a primary spring, and a damper cartridge assembly. The damper cartridge assembly includes a high pressure chamber, a low pressure chamber, and a piston. The piston includes a first piston orifice, a second piston orifice, a second spring, and a poppet which includes a poppet orifice. The second spring applies a biasing force on the poppet. Fluid may flow from the high pressure chamber through the poppet orifice and through the first piston orifice into the low pressure chamber when the pressure of the fluid in the high pressure chamber is between a first pressure and a second pressure. When the pressure increases above the second pressure, the poppet compresses the second spring to self-regulate the pressure in the high pressure chamber.

A modular stock for a firearm includes a foremost stock, an intermediate stock part and a buttstock. A butt plate is mounted to the buttstock through a first adjustment device. A cheek piece is mounted to the buttstock through a second adjustment device. The first adjustment device includes a first locking and releasing button. The first locking and releasing button is bilaterally operable.

A recoil buffer system having a buffer element with a buffer element body portion, a buffer element knob, and a buffer element cavity; a collar; a sleeve, wherein a sleeve recess is formed so as to accept at least a portion of the buffer element body portion therein; a buffer element recoil spring, wherein the buffer element recoil spring is positioned about at least a portion of the elongate buffer element body portion, between the collar and the sleeve; and a bumper, wherein a bumper extension portion extends from a first end of the bumper to a bumper shoulder, wherein the bumper extension portion is such that at least a portion of the bumper extension portion can be fitted at least partially within the sleeve aperture.

A thumb rest for a pistol is disclosed, with the goal of allowing for more accurate shooting. The present invention is designed to give a shooter using this new style of shooting an additional point of control for the off-hand to utilize when stabilizing and aiming a pistol. The thumb rest is attached to a lower rail of a pistol. The present invention's assembly adds a support structure in the form of a thumb rest for a shooter's off hand to rest on and provide resistive force, while keeping the thumb from making contact with moving parts of a pistol. The present invention allows for a shooter to better grip a pistol and provide resistance to recoil forces by means of the present invention's thumb rest pad.

A modular attachment system is disclosed having one or more surfaces designed to compatibly interconnect with a receptacle formed by a grid pattern of a structural support of a gun stock. The grid pattern can be an is a grid pattern, an orthogrid pattern, or a pattern having a combination of both isogrid and orthogrid portions.
