[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3845651, member: 9018"] Thanks for typing all that out Dennishoddy. I totally understand your point of ammo load and bullet weights and how they can tame recoil. My goal is to tame 175gr as much as I can. I’m going to take you and the others advice of an adjustable gas system. I’m going to go a slightly different route. I remember from another thread not long ago a fellow member SGT something mentioned an adjustable gas key. I’m not going to mess with my gas block. It has the front sight built into it and it’s a type that folds down. I like the idea of my front sight being on the gas block. I like the redundancy of having back up buis. I have a free float MI hand guard that I like but I’m not a fan of front sights on hand guards. RCA Has an adjustable gas key that I’m going to order and experiment with. When I get it I will see how well this works on the rifle before I start looking at a muzzle brake. This way I can adjust the gas system and keep the current front sight gas block that I have.
