New Build Recoil

[lead chucker]

I get what your saying keystone! I have a 18" with mid gas system with a rifle length stock and buffer. I built my dad a 16" also with a mid gas system with a carbine length stock and buffer. I used a H2 buffer in his because at the time they was sold out of H3 buffers. Both rifles have adjustable gas blocks adjusted for bolt lock back. But his 16" has quiet a bit more felt recoil. Im getting ready to swap out his H2 for a H3 and see if that helps some.
