Or is it the actual longer length to the gas port size in the rifle length system that leads to the softer recoil of the rifle length system?
Initial recoil is the same, however the reciprocating mass effects will be a little more harsh on the MLGS vs RLGS.
A RLGS AR15 fed the ammo it was designed for is a very pleasant rifle to shoot.
The shorter gas systems aren't deal-breakers if ported and fed optimally, but RLGS is a very happy place to be for muzzle control.
Only one of my Grendels has RLGS, and I have a pile of them, so that gives you an idea of how important I think this gas system length/recoil management discussion is for me personally.
