Honestly I did shoot it today and thought the recoil was awesome, low and easy to keep on target. But I spent too much money to have that hanging over my head. I'm gonna post some pics of the range later on tonight.
With the muzzle break, you're not going to really feel any recoil, and will not have much muzzle climb, if any at all. Break open your rifle and see if there are any marks near the receiver extension threads on the curved portion. If you need a rifle-length buffer, let me know. You also need a rifle-length recoil spring. Carbine springs are shorter. There's a thread here with all the specs on the lengths and weights of the buffers.
On the buffers, that pad on the rear is meant to prevent the bolt carrier group from bottoming out or protruding too far into the lower. If you use a carbine buffer in a rifle buffer tube (receiver extension), it isn't long enough to stop at the rear of the tube. The rifle buffers are also about 5.2oz. so they are heavier than even an H3 at 4.7 oz.
