Claims11
An adapter system, the adapter system comprising:
- a firearm having a hollow stock, an end of the hollow stock having a lip and a stock height and stock width, the stock height and the stock width measured within the end of the hollow stock next to the lip;
- a plate, the plate having an outer edge, front face, and a back face, the front face having a plate height that is substantially equal to the stock height and a plate width that is substantially equal to the stock width;
- a chamfer along an entire junction between the back face and the outer edge, creating a chamfered edge;
- the plate held within the firearm hollow stock by the lip of the firearm hollow stock engaged with the outer edge of the plate;
- two mounting holes through the plate, each mounting hole of the two mounting holes is threaded to affix a recoil absorption device to the hollow stock;
- a central circular hole for accepting a feature of the recoil absorption device;
- and
- wherein the chamfered edge is configured for insertion of the plate into the hollow stock and then to be rotated into place within the hollow stock with less deformation of the firearm hollow stock than if the plate lacked the chamfer.

An adapter system for attaching a recoil absorption device to a hollow stock of a firearm, comprising:
- a firearm having a hollow stock;
- an adapter body configured to be inserted into a hollow portion of the hollow stock of the firearm, the adapter body having a front face, a back face, and an outer edge delineated as being between the front face and the back face and traversing the entire adapter body;
- the adapter body having a tapered profile that matches an internal wall shape of the hollow portion of the hollow stock;
- the adapter body having an upper and a lower threaded hole for attaching a recoil absorption device to the adapter body using screws;
- the adapter body having a central circular bore for accepting a feature of the recoil absorption device;
- a chamfered edged disposed along an entire perimeter of the back face of the adapter body;
- and
- wherein the outer edge of the adapter body is configured to be wedged behind a lip of the hollow stock after installation into the hollow portion of the hollow stock and is therefore held within the hollow portion of the hollow stock by the lip;
- wherein the outer edge of the adapter is configured to rest behind the lip at a butt end of the hollow stock when the adapter body is in a final position of the installation, thereby securing the adapter within the hollow portion of the hollow stock.
