Has anyone used one, and are they worth the money? I am looking at adding it to the POF p308 that I am building. Thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated. I thought I would ask the experts before purchasing one.

You're gonna find people that praise them and people that hate them. If you want to reduce recoil, get a good compensator. I have the Primary Weapons Systems PRC (precision rifle compensator) and if you're building a precision rifle, it's the compensator to have. If you're building a CQC rifle, the FSC30 is the ticket.

I have one in my LMT LWS and it reduced the recoil, I estimate about 15-20% I don't know if it was worth the extra cost. But I at the same time I put a PRS stock on it so I am not sure how much effect the Endine had on the recoil reduction.

Not worth it.

Adj gas blocks do the most with big muzzle brakes being second place. Carrier weights, heavy buffer, didn't make a difference it was all in my head.

Just get a good in-spec buffer and spring.

BTW JP Tank Brake is the best but people next to you will hate you.

I have one in a 223 AR DMR rifle. Does it work? yes, I can feel the difference between the standard buffer and the enidine. It slows down the action and to a lesser degree reduces the initial jolt of the bolt slamming back. BUT, a heavy buffer will give the same result for less money. For my 308 POF I plan to get a heavy buffer instead of buying another enidine.

I would either use a Slash Heavy Buffer or the new JP Silent Buffer. I run both and like both a bunch. I suspect one will eventually win out in my kit but both are outstanding. +1 also on adding a break
