Recoil Reduction Devices Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
(Click on a question to get the answer.)
The Counter Coil® is a true adjustable hydraulic shock absorbing unit. The hydraulic cylinder compresses, absorbing the shock of recoil and decelerating the rearward thrust of the firearm with a 1/2" maximum stroke.
The Comp Coil is an adjustable compression spring recoil reducing device with a 5/16" maximum stroke.
2] Which recoil reduction
device will work best for me?
Counter Coil® excels in situations with heavy use: trap shooting, sporting clays, skeet, competitive and recreational shooting, hunting, and big caliber rifles.
Comp Coil, with its smaller design, can be installed and used in some automatics. It also performs well in lighter use applications.
3] How long have Danuser's
recoil reduction devices been on the market?
Counter Coil® has been on the market since the early 1980's.
Comp Coil has been on the market since 1997.
4] What is the difference
between Danuser's units and others on the market?
Counter Coil® is a proven hydraulic unit that is adjustable and more cost effective than other brands.
Comp Coil is an adjustable spring unit like most units available on the market today.
5] Why aren't factory installations
done anymore?
We still sell and repair recoil reduction devices at the factory.
Our trained installer, Emery Smola, has retired after 33 years
of Danuser employment. Emery
will sell and install our recoil reduction devices under his own business
name. To

6] Can the recoil reduction
devices be installed
on all guns?
Either Counter Coil® or Comp Coil can be installed on most long guns (e.g., shotguns or rifles). We do not recommend our devices for some automatics because the action return spring in the stock might need to be modified. Either device can easily be installed on most fiberglass stocks.
7] Do the recoil reduction
devices change the pull length of the gun?
It depends. The recoil reduction device without a pad is approximately 1-3/16" in length. Since the stock must be cut for installation, you can lengthen or keep the same pull length. Depending upon the stock, you can shorten the pull length.
8] What will either
recoil reduction device do for face felt recoil?
This type of recoil may be reduced by cutting between 3° and 5° down pitch into the stock during installation. This puts the guide pins on an angle, causing the comb of the stock to come back and down away from the face during compression.
9] Can I install the device
myself?
Yes. We offer an optional drill set which includes a fixture and drill bits. However, we recommend a competent gunsmith for the installation.
Our trained installer, Emery Smola, has retired after 33 years of Danuser employment. Emery will sell and install our recoil reduction devices under his own business name. To contact Emery, click here.
10] Do the recoil reduction
devices require
much maintenance or service?
Under normal conditions, no. However, if the gun is used in the rain, the guide pins should be dried and regreased (takes less than a minute).
11] Will installing either
recoil reduction device change my point of impact?
No, except on high powered rifles where muzzle rise is a
factor. Customers and gun writers have reported point of impact
dropping on some heavy calibers with the Counter
Coil®.
12] How will the recoil reduction
devices operate in extreme cold conditions?
In sub-zero temperature, the devices will become slightly stiffer but will still operate normally.
