A liner stop for retaining a liner within a sleeve of a combustion system, includes: a female component including a saddle, the female component adapted for coupling to one of the liner and the sleeve; a male component including a tab for insertion into the saddle, the male component adapted for coupling to an opposite one of the liner and the sleeve; and an insert adapted for being attached to the tab and ensuring dampening of vibration when the tab is disposed within the saddle. A method and a system are also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 1. A liner stop for retaining a liner within a sleeve of a combustion system, the liner stop comprising: a female component comprising a saddle, the female component adapted for coupling to one of the liner and the sleeve; a male component comprising a tab for insertion into the saddle, the male component adapted for coupling to an opposite one of the liner and the sleeve; and an insert comprising a spring wall attached to the tab such that the dampening of vibration is induced between the male and female components. 2. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the saddle comprises a first sidewall, an orthoganally disposed floor, an orthoganally disposed second sidewall and an orthoganally disposed backwall. 3. The liner stop as in claim 2, wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are generally parallel to each other. 4. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the female component comprises mounting features for mounting to one of the liner and the sleeve. 5. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the tab comprises a top side, an orthoganally disposed first sidewall, an orthoganally disposed bottom side, and an orthoganally disposed second sidewall that is orthoganally disposed to the top side. 6. The liner stop as in claim 5, wherein the top side and the bottom side are generally parallel to each other, and the first sidewall and the second sidewall are generally parallel to each other. 7. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein at least one of the female component and the male component are fabricated from at least one of a cobalt super-alloy, a nickel super-alloy, an iron super-alloy, stainless steel and carbon steel. 8. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the insert comprises a first springwall, an orthoganally disposed bottom member, and an orthoganally disposed second springwall. 9. The liner stop as in claim 8, wherein at least one springwall provides a leafspring. 10. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the insert is adapted for being welded to the tab. 11. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the insert comprises at least one of an alloy of hardened steel and a composite material. 12. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the insert comprises at least one layer of material. 13. The liner stop as in claim 1, wherein the insert further comprises a wear coating thereon. 14. A method for inserting a liner into a sleeve of a combustion system, the method comprising: installing one of a male component and a female component onto an outer surface of the liner; installing an opposite one of the male component and the female component onto an inner surface of the sleeve; installing an insert comprising a spring wall onto a tab of the male component such that dampening of vibration is induced between the male and female components; and inserting the liner into the sleeve such that the tab becomes disposed within a saddle of the female component. 15. The method as in claim 14, further comprising placing a wear coating upon an outer surface of the insert. 16. A combustion system comprising a liner inserted into a sleeve, the system comprising: a plurality of liner stops disposed between the liner and the sleeve, each liner stop comprising a female component comprising a saddle, the female component adapted for coupling to one of the liner and the sleeve; a male component comprising a tab for insertion into the saddle, the male component adapted for coupling to an opposite one of the liner and the sleeve; and an insert comprising a spring wall attached to the tab and ensuring retention of the liner within the sleeve and dampening of vibration is induced when the tab is disposed within the saddle.
