Abstract
A damper for reducing recoil and vibrations during and after firing a firearm may comprise a resilient member and a weight. The resilient member may mounted to a portion of a firearm having a surface suitable for engaging and retaining the resilient member therein, and the resilient member may have an inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the weight.
Claims25
A firearm vibration damper comprising:
- a first resilient member, a second resilient member and a weight;
- wherein the first resilient member comprises an elastomeric material and is mounted to a portion of a firearm, the first resilient member having an inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the weight, the second resilient member is mounted to a portion of the firearm, the second resilient member contacting the weight;
- and
- wherein the first resilient member further comprises a central axis, the central axis being nonparallel to a longitudinal axis of a barrel of the firearm.

A firearm vibration damper comprising:
- a resilient member and a weight;
- wherein the resilient member is mounted to the firearm and comprises an inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the weight;
- the resilient member comprising an annular channel having a U-shaped cross-section, the U-shape having a main axis, the main axis of the U-shape oriented in a non-radial direction of the resilient member.
A firearm vibration damper comprising:
- a resilient member, a first weight and a second weight;
- the resilient member being attached to a firearm, the resilient member having a first inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the first weight and a second inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the second weight, the first weight being spaced apart from the second weight.
A firearm vibration damper comprising:
- a resilient member, a first weight and a second weight;
- the resilient member being attached to a firearm, the resilient member having a first inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining first weight and a second inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the second weight;
- wherein the first weight and the second weight each have a central axis, the central axis of the first weight being parallel to and offset from the central axis of the second weight.
A firearm vibration damper comprising:
- a mount, an elastomeric resilient member, and a weighted portion;
- the mount being attached to a firearm, the mount having a surface suitable for engaging and retaining the resilient member therein, the resilient member having an inside surface suitable for engaging and retaining the weighted portion therein;
- wherein the mount is attached to the firearm barrel;
- and
- wherein the damper is placed at a midpoint between vibration nodes of the barrel.
