I am currently looking for ways to possibly reduce the recoil on my AR-15, and before anyone says it yes I know 5.56 has very little recoil but I simply wish to see if I can shave it down even more. My AR is already fairly light in terms of recoil compared to those owned by my brother and father which I somewhat account to the fact that mine is roughly 9lb unloaded with nothing but iron sights and the fact that mine is the only one running an adjustable gas block. My build consists of:

Maybe an Vg6 EPSILON or Gamma comp. Limbsaver makes a buttpad for Magpul stocks. You already have adjustable gas, turn it down to bare minimum at the range ( but open some extra clicks for HD).
Lastly there is a buffer made by CTS Engineering called the Aktive buffer. It has some elastomeric piston ( not hydraulic) that may help a little. |

These are the things I have done to get a super light recoiling AR:
Voodoo low mass carrier Adjustable gas block Silenceroco trifecta muzzle brake Removed weights from buffer (now weighs 1oz) SpringCo white CS spring Mid length 14.5 Shoot .223 Many will say that the buffer weights are needed to push the bcg closed. But the Chrome Silicone spring has no twang, and reduces bounce back. So it works fine with no out of battery problems. One other thing to do would be get a 16" rifle length gas system. I wish they made a 14.5 rifle length. One company has done it before. But none are for sale as just the barrel. This rifle recoils so light. And it's extremely reliable. |

No, no, no....
Not a light carrier A Tubb carrier weight assembly. ( David Tubb SSS) "superior shooting systems" High power shooters have been using that for years to improve the recovery in rapidfire NRA High power shooting. Go to a shooting sight such as " National Match . Com" . It will make your cone of dispersion smaller. M- r |
