Firearm recoil dampening assembly

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, comprising:

• a plurality of elastically deformable shock-absorbing members having a compression cavity defined therein, wherein the shock-absorbing members are cylindrically shaped, and wherein the cavity of the shock-absorbing member is defined by a cylindrically shaped outer wall, and wherein the shock-absorbing member has an open first end and a second end that includes an end wall;
• and
• a plurality of rigid spacers interspaced between the shock-absorbing members;
• wherein 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 the firearm, and wherein the plurality of shock-absorbing members and rigid spacers are further adapted to dampen the recoil as transmitted from the bolt assembly to the stock when a charge within, the firearm is ignited by allowing each shock-absorbing member to at least partially compress within the compression cavity.

A firearm including a recoil dampening assembly, comprising:

• a bolt assembly;
• a stock that is linearly moveable with respect to the bolt assembly;
• a plurality of elastically deformable, cup-shaped shock-absorbing members having a compression cavity defined therein;
• a plurality of rigid spacers interspaced between the shock-absorbing members;
• wherein the plurality of shock-absorbing members and rigid spacers are positioned between the bolt assembly and the stock of the firearm, and wherein 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 within the firearm is ignited.

• and
• a plurality of rigid spacers interspaced between the shock-absorbing members, wherein the spacers have a first end and a second end, the first and second ends of at least some of the spacers have an inwardly extending recess, wherein a portion of the shock-absorbing members are seated within the recesses of the spacers, and wherein each of the shock-absorbing members and each of the spacers include a longitudinally extended aperture adapted to receive therein a bolt extending between the bolt assembly and the stock;
• wherein 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 the firearm, and wherein the plurality of shock-absorbing members and rigid spacers are further adapted to dampen the recoil as transmitted from the bolt assembly to the stock when a charge within the firearm is ignited by allowing each shock-absorbing member to at least partially compress within the compression cavity.
