Butt plate for a gun stock and gun stock comprising such a butt plate

Abstract

A butt plate for a gun stock includes a holding part and a damping part which is attached to the holding part. An easy method of mounting and dismounting the butt plate can be implemented in that disposed on a front surface of the holding part, which front surface is facing the gun stock, are two forwardly projecting and spaced-apart arch-like retention members for snap-lock retention on two oppositely lying side walls of the gun stock.

1 . A butt plate for a gun stock, the butt plate comprising a holding part and a damping part attached to the holding part, wherein disposed on a front surface of the holding part facing the gun stock are two forwardly projecting and spaced-apart, arch-like retention members for snap-lock retention on two oppositely lying side walls of the gun stock. 
     
     
         2 . The butt plate of  claim 1 , wherein the arch-like retention members sit close to an inside surface or an outside surface of the side walls of the gun stock when the butt plate is mounted on the gun stock. 
     
     
         3 . The butt plate of  claim 1 , wherein the arch-like retention members are laterally resilient. 
     
     
         4 . The butt plate of  claim 1 , wherein the arch-like retention members are formed in one piece with the holding part. 
     
     
         5 . The butt plate of  claim 1 , wherein disposed on the arch-like retention members are lateral lug elements for engaging in through-openings in the side walls of the gun stock. 
     
     
         6 . The butt plate of  claim 1 , wherein the lug elements have an outside contour that is matched to an inside contour of the through-openings. 
     
     
         7 . The butt plate of  claim 1 , wherein disposed in the arch-like retention members is an opening for receiving a retaining element which is fitted with snap-fit elements. 
     
     
         8 . The butt plate of  claim 1 , wherein reinforcing ribs are disposed on the holding part. 
     
     
         9 . A gun stock comprising the butt plate of  claim 1  mounted on a back surface of the gun stock. 
     
     
         10 . The gun stock of  claim 9 , wherein two through-openings for retaining the butt plate are disposed in two oppositely lying side walls of the gun stock. 
     
     
         11 . The gun stock of  claim 9 , wherein disposed on an outside surface of the two side walls are recesses for receiving the arch-like retention members, which recesses are matched to the shape of the arch-like retention members.
