[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3842949, member: 9018"] Looking to see what my fellow OS8 brethren have to say on big bore LR 308 AR10 pattern rifles. I’ve an Aero precision M5 308 AR that I’ve built. Function tested it this last weekend and it worked just fine. I’m looking on taming the recoil a little bit to try and keep on target for follow up shots. I’m not looking to use an adjustable gas block as my front sight is part of the gas block I went with. A folding Yankee hill front sight gas block combo. Also I’m not wanting to go down the route of using a compensator. Don’t care for them. The blast of the concussion wave coming back always makes me blink. Counterproductive for staying on target. And some I’ve played with have excessive fireballs. I have a surefire four prong flash hider on it. I prefer eliminating flash over brakes. The recoil isn't bugging me. I don’t think that it is excess. Just a little on the jumpy side. I want to keep better on target and the way the rifle is now it isn’t. I was thinking of using a heavier buffer and maybe a heavier spring. Wondering if anyone has gone down this road and had any good experience. Or did it start short stroking and all types of issues come about from a heavier recoil system. My rifle has an A2 fixed stock with a 5.4 AR10 buffer and a correct AR10 style rifle spring in it already. I see that heavybuffersprings.com has a 10 ounce buffer and spring combo for sale. It has peaked my interest but it’s a bit pricey. Also KAK Industries has a 9.3 ounce buffer. It doesn’t come with a spring but is better priced. I also see that a red or Orange buffer spring is recommended going this route. They are extra power or strong. Anyone go down this path with their LR 308 AR10 type rifle? Pros, cons, ideas, successes or failures? Looking to pick you guys brains for any helpful ideas that work. [/QUOTE]
