RAD Install

[USMCDOC]

I have a Kelbly BR stock, I checked the template to the butt, it will fit, whom would you suggest installing a RAD on this stock.

I’ve installed about 100 of em on shotguns, and maybe a half dozen on rifles. Happy to help if you need it!

Thanks, I’ll keep this in mind.

And which spring from Ace Hardware would most likely be appropriate for the 6BRA?

This one still needs checkered but it’s getting closer.

The factory return spring in it will probably be fine, you’ll want to adjust the hydraulic dampening on the rad unit down to less then 5 I’d say. Might depend on if you’re getting into the gun or free recoil. But I’d Start there. I’ve only ever installed stiffer return springs, for shotguns depending on firmness of the gun mount.

Thanks for sharing that, photos look great too

Contact RAD. They have a kit with different springs.

The super-light one (Hillman #28) if you want it to be anything more than an overpriced adjustable buttpad. I run that super light spring all the way up to 7-270 WSM without bottoming. The RAD absorbs recoil with the buffer. The spring, on the other hand just stores the energy give it back to you later. I have video from my tests, and not even my 284 can deflect the factory 80# rate spring (21# rifle).

I'd recommend starting with the buffer set above 7, and work down until it wants to bottom, then increase until it doesn't.
