A gunstock (also known as stock or shoulder stock) is the component of a firearm that is attached to the barrel of the firearm and interfaces with the user (i.e., shooter). A stock is also found on crossbows though a crossbow stock is more properly referred to as a tiller. The stock provides a means for the shooter to firmly support the device and easily aim it. The stock also transmits recoil into the user's body. The size and configuration of the gunstock is related to the safe and comfortable operation of the firearm. Accuracy of the firearm is also greatly impacted by the interface of the gunstock and the user.
For the purposes of this disclosure, rifle refers to any firearm or weapon that through the use of an explosion, spring or compressed gas emits a projectile from a barrel. This includes but is not limited to a rifle, shotgun, BB gun, pellet gun, blow, and the like. Buttstock or simply butt refers to the part of a rifle or other firearm, to which the barrel and firing mechanism are attached. During use, the butt stock is typically held against the user's shoulder.
A cheek rest is the portion of the gunstock that interfaces with the user's cheek when aiming the firearm. Proper positioning of the cheek rest allows the user to align their eye in a stable and comfortable alignment with the sighting means of the firearm. The forearm (also known as handguard, forend, or forestock) is a section of the firearm between the receiver and the muzzle and positioned below the barrel. It is used to hold the firearm steady.
