US Patent 9909835 Recoil abatement stock with reduced rattle

A recoil reduction system for a firearm. In some embodiments, the recoil reduction includes buffer tube housed within a buttstock, and a deformable structure for setting a clearance tolerance between the buffer tube and the buttstock to reduce lateral play while enabling smooth translation therebetween. In some embodiments, a guide pin and/or skid projections provide interference between the sliding components of the recoil reduction system when in a battery configuration, while releasing the interference during a recoil event.
