| Just got done shooting my new Beowulf. The way I'm running it now is with a standard carbine spring and a Spike's ST-T2 buffer. Recoil is a bit intense. Would adding a Sprinco Red or blue extra power spring do anything for me? |
| I 've built more of an M-4 with a magpul ACS, Nothing but the rubber pad that it comes with. I did go with a .308 hydro buffer. It does seem to tame it a bit. Might be worth investigating the rifle version. How about a muzzle brake? I also went with the A.A. factory muzzle brake. Without a brake you would also feel more of the recoil. |

It has a Pepperpot Muzzle Brake on it but I ordered a King Armory Muzzle Brake that arrived today.
It is running a collapsible stock with a Magpul CTR with the enhanced buttpad. Inside the buffer tube is a Spikes T2 buffer and a standard carbine spring. I might just live with it. If it works then why worry about it? This is how she looks at this point in time. I should have all the parts I ordered installed by next weekend. 
This is a video of my not so great attempt at a 10rd magazine dump. I know there is no optic on the rifle I was just running it to make sure it worked. Beowulf Fast Fire Edit: In the video I should like crap because I'm trying to fight off a sinus cold. LoL! |
| I use a Wolf +10% spring and an MGI RRB buffer in mine. It does make a noticeable improvement in perceived recoil. A muzzle brake is a waste of money on a Beowulf IMHO. With only around 40 grains of powder and around 400 grain bullets and a half inch bore even the best muzzle brake will only be maybe 5% effective. |

I humbly suggest an XH carbine buffer (8.5 oz) and a Wolff XP carbine buffer spring. More info: www.heavybuffers.com/ar15carbine |

That is badass!

I ordered all three types of Sprinco buffer spring. I ordered the White(standard), Blue(stronger), and the Red(strongest) to try them all out. I really like the Spikes T2 buffer because it uses poweder and the weights don't bounce around and cause all that noise.

Fill me in on the details. Why would someone in my shoes choose this over one of your HSS Buffers? |
