Ruger American Upgrade Kit 1 – KRG Bravo Package (Short Action, RH)
Overview
The Ruger American Upgrade Kit 1 is built around one of our favorite chassis systems of all time — the Kinetic Research Group (KRG) Bravo. This drop-in chassis transforms your short-action Ruger American (Gen 1 or Gen 2) into a fully modular, precision-ready platform capable of accepting AICS magazines.
We’ve been fans of the Bravo for years because it strikes the perfect balance between simplicity, adjustability, and real-world durability. Whether you’re chasing coyotes, hunting big game, or just improving your range setup, this upgrade will help you get the most out of your rifle.
Kit Components
Each Ruger American Upgrade Kit 1 includes:
-
KRG Bravo Chassis – Right-hand, short-action model, compatible with Gen 1 & Gen 2 Ruger American rifles.
-
KRG Full-Length ARCA Rail – Ready for tripods and precision accessories.
-
CMC QD Cup – mlok mounting options on forearm allows you to mount to the forearm for sling attachment.
-
All Required Hardware – Everything you need for installation.
Why We Recommend It
We’ve been running the KRG Bravo across multiple builds for years, and it’s one of those rare chassis that just works. At roughly 3 pounds, it adds rigidity and balance without unnecessary bulk. The Bravo offers adjustable ergonomics, integrated bedding, and the ability to grow with your rifle — from simple hunting setups to competition-ready builds.
If you own a Ruger American and want to take it to the next level, this is the single most worthwhile upgrade you can make.

The KRG Bravo is a true drop-in fit. Installation typically takes under 15 minutes using standard tools. No gunsmithing required. The kit includes everything needed for initial setup.
