Improved recoil reduction system

Abstract

An improved recoil reduction system comprises a forward body, a friction spring, a rear body, a bolt, and, optionally, a bumper. When in forward battery, the said friction spring is compressed to a preloaded operating point by the bolt. In embodiments, when a weapon equipped with the improved recoil reduction system is fired, the front body is impacted by the bolt carrier group of the weapon and the rear body moves aft and strikes the rear of the shoulder stock of the weapon, compressing the friction spring. During compression, the tapered mating surfaces of the friction spring generate friction and thereby dissipate the energy generated from firing the weapon in the form of heat, thus reducing the felt recoil of the weapon.
