Definition
the rear part of a rifle or shotgun that is held against your shoulder when firing.
Etymology
Compound of 'butt' (the end or bottom part of something) and 'stock' (the wooden or plastic support piece), dating to early firearm design in the 16th-17th centuries.
Kelly Says
The buttstock's design has barely changed in 400 years because it solved a perfect problem—your shoulder absorbs recoil while you aim down the barrel. Ergonomics that work stay around.
