The guide pins on the butt plate run on Teflon® bushings (Figure 18).
This ensures long life and smooth action of the GraCoil recoil reduc-
tion system. An occasional cleaning and light lubrication of the guide
pins will prevent premature wear. A light oil is suitable for lubrication.
ADJUSTING THE GRACOIL RECOIL REDUCTION
SYSTEM
When making adjustments to the GraCoil
system’s compression unit, be aware that the
unit should be adjusted to the shooter, not
to the shell size or loads being fired. When
adjusted properly, the recoil from the
shotgun will activate the GraCoil system,
effectively reducing the recoil felt by
the shooter.
The GraCoil recoil reduction system
features adjustable compression range from
14-70 lbs. with a
5
⁄16" maximum stroke. To
adjust the GraCoil system, perform the fol-
lowing:
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY ADJUSTMENTS,
ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THERE IS NO SHELL IN
THE CHAMBER.
1 Loosen the butt plate by inserting a
3
⁄32"
Allen wrench into the single hole on the
right side of the butt plate and turn the set
screw counterclockwise two turns to loosen the screw (Figure 19).
2 Remove the butt plate by pulling it straight out. This exposes the cen-
ter shaft where adjustments are made (Figure 20).
3 Insert the
3
⁄
32" Allen wrench into the hole in the center shaft and turn
the wrench clockwise (light) to decrease the compression to the light-
est setting. Do not force the compression adjustment screw.
4 Reinstall the recoil pad by tightening the two screws with the
3
⁄32
"
Allen wrench.
