Axially displaced gun stock recoil system

A gun recoil system operatively connected between a recoil pad and the butt of a gun stock and comprising:

• a single elongated axial shaft member have a proximal end and a distal end;
• a bearing plate member operatively connected on the proximal end of the axial shaft member;
• a butt plate member adapted to slidably receive said axial shaft member and including means for attaching the butt plate member to the butt of a gun stock;
• a plurality of spring biasing elements disposed on the opposite sides of the butt plate member and in a surrounding relationship relative to said axial shaft member;
• wherein, the distal end of the axial shaft member is provided with a spring tension adjustment mechanism that engages one of said plurality of spring biasing elements that is disposed intermediate the butt plate member and the spring tension adjustment mechanism;
• wherein, a remainder of the plurality of spring biasing elements is disposed intermediate the butt plate member and the bearing plate member;
• and
• wherein, the distal end of the axial shaft member is threaded and the spring tension adjustment mechanism comprises a threaded bolt and a bearing washer that captivley engage said one of the plurality of spring biasing elements between the butt plate member and the bearing washer.
