Any pro tips on reducing AR-10 recoil? Any good muzzle breaks? I don't have a .30cal supressor, or at least no yet.

Any pro tips on reducing AR-10 recoil? Any good muzzle breaks? I don't have a .30cal supressor, or at least no yet.
One of the obvious ways would be to get a recoil pad. Limpsaver and Magpul both make one, probably others.
Any standard muzzle brake will help. I've not found a significant difference in felt recoil between various brands of similar design.
You can also add weight to the rifle to reduce felt recoil. On an AR-10 adding enough weight to matter might be difficult.

I?ve fired some pretty soft shooting AR-10s. While a good muzzle device can obviously make a difference, getting the gas system and buffer dialed in right can really take a lot of the bite out of the recoil.
Add weight to the carrier/buffer/spring. JP or Little Bastard brake. Adjustable gasblock could help some.
Or, add weight to the rifle, add a brake/can and use a lighter weight carrier.
I have a first gen LaRue OBR. With a can it is pretty soft shooting even with 175 and 185s because it is a heavy rifle.
I can't add anything that others haven't already said, but I will definitely add a +1 for a Little Bastard brake.
They are loud, but the "Bastard" series of brakes are phenomenal at recoil reduction.
Does it all help if I'm using a magpul ACS stock? Minus the butt pad.

I’ve got a big chubby you could try. It just sits on my bench.
I'd go to an A2 stock & buffer system. Then throw some weight where the tool cleaning kit goes.
Well worth looking into if you want to do more than a break...

Just adding a link if anyone didn't know these existed. I am not advocating spending $40 on a shaped piece of lead, but this is the idea.

Hands down best brake on the market precision armament m4-72. I was amazed when I installed one on my rifle brought the 308 recoil down to 223/556 level recoil. Primary arms has them on sale right now, I just orderd another one.
Tubbs used to sell a tungsten weight for the carrier, it made all the difference in mine, easier on the brass too. JP makes a weight system for the buffer/carrier now. If I build one, that's would I would get. Weight is your friend, unless your shooting offhand.
Ever laid down next to a Fat Bastard? :)

Yea the m4-72 or any brake won't be friendly to any one next to you.
Would a mid length barrel reduce recoil?
