Heavy Carbine buffers?
So do heavy carbine buffers help reduce recoil.

Some have experienced ejection and feeding problems with lighter loads compared to running the hotter Mil-Spec ammo.
You will need to turn in your Man Card if the recoil of an AR is too much for you.......

16" barrel and what is the gas system length carbine(7") or mid-length (9") ?
recoil?? really??
Shoot your AR with the butt resting on your nutz and then think about recoil. (Disclaimer: not that I have actually done that.)Originally Posted by van7559
On a seriously note to the OP I am not sure what heavy buffer your talking about?
I use the Spike's ST-T2 and mid length gas systems resulting in a nice soft cycle. I could see if running a carbine gas and a light buffer upgrading that buffer to a little heavier weight might make it feel a little better but between a standard and and the ST-T2 I am using is mere ounces of weight. I have read that for short barrel rifles under 14" it helps.
Don't over think it, I see no real reason to use a "Heavy buffer" on a 5.56 carbine with 14.5 or more barrel. Someone wiser (matter of opinion) than me will probably chime in
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
I thought that was required to properly break in the weapon, and "season the barrel"Shoot your AR with the butt resting on your nutz and then think about recoil. (Disclaimer: not that I have actually done that.)
I have a S&W M&P15T (16" carbine) that I added an H buffer to. I don't recall noticing a change in recoil, but I think it dampened the recoil a bit (if that makes sense) so it wasn't as sharp.
Other than that, shoot it a ton and the recoil tends to go away. Or, you can get an AR10, shoot that a ton and then pick up the AR15 and see if you're still complaining about recoil.
7in gas system
There is an old Army training film that we were shown at the beginning of basic training where the instructor was doing that with an M16. Probably of early Vietnam era.
Maybe some of the "Old Farts" can remember seeing it, if alzheimer's hasn't set in too deep........

How many roofies do you need "before" placing it on "your nuts"Shoot your AR with the butt resting on your nutz and then think about recoil. (Disclaimer: not that I have actually done that.)
Mil Spec or Commercial stock for better fitment?
