Method of producing a recoil pad for a weapon

摘要

A recoil pad having a pad in which the elastomer contains a plurality of pockets having one or more pocket characteristics adjustable over the entirety or portions of the pad to achieve recoil pad characteristics which can be incrementally variably matched to the recoil energy characteristics and recoil energy transfer characteristics of a particular target stock.

主权项

1. A method of producing a recoil pad for a weapon, comprising:
a) obtaining a base having a plurality of aperture elements which communicate between a front surface and a back surface; b) obtaining a mold having within variably adjustable one or more core pins located to pass through a corresponding one or more of said plurality of aperture elements; c) variably adjusting said one or more core pins to correspondingly variably adjust one or more core pin characteristics within said mold; d) locating said base of said recoil pad in said mold by passing said one or more core pins through a corresponding one or more of said at least one of said plurality of aperture elements; and e) curing an amount of elastomer within said mold, said amount of elastomer overmolded to said back surface of said base to provide a pad for said recoil pad, said pad having within at least one pocket having one or more pocket characteristics generated by said one or more core pin characteristics variably adjusted within said mold.
