I'am building my first ar in 300 blackout.I have a noveske bcg in a viltor 10 in. vis upper with a 12.2 in. noveske barrel and i'am planing on getting the barrel cut to the lenght of the upper with room for a can.my question is would an ajustable gas block with tubbs spring have the same effect on felt recoil as going with jp low mass bcg and buffer and an ajustable gas block? how would y'all set up the weapon for the smoothest and least amount of recoil. thanks for any and all help in advance.

Re: help with recoil reduction

I would not want to compromise reliability by using a low-mass bolt carrier just to have less recoil in a platform that does not have much recoil. Also I would use a normal gas block and normal spring.
 
Re: help with recoil reduction

If you are going to war or a zombie end of world use BCM or like parts. If you just want a super low recoil then YES use a low mass carrier and cs flatwire along with an adj gas block. You can even take the weights out of the buffer weight.

I did it and it works fine.
 
Re: help with recoil reduction

I should not of said I was putting it in my 300 blackout. I am trying to see if my thinking is right about low mass bcg, spring and buffer with an ajustable gas block on reducing recoil or if there is less recoil with a standard weight bcg,spring,buffer and an ajustable gas block.
 
Re: help with recoil reduction

Run an H or H2 buffer, Adj. gas block, and a Cooley Comp from JP. My Blkout feels much less than the .223. The flatwire Tubb spring does help, especially with the "twang" noise from the stock. My rule of thumb is CAR.= H2, Middy= H, and to save some cash, just order an H3, and you can have 3 H buffers, just remove the front Steel weight, from a CAR and trade the Tungsten for it. Voila H buffer. If your running suppressed, try the JP adj. gas block, and tune your loads. Great caliber BTW , kind of a "30 Carbine, on Steroids". My only problem is running them in .556 mags, is the tab on the left side of the mag is suppost to touch the neck on the .556/.223, but is actually touching the bullet on the 300Blkout/Whisper, but with poly mags like a Pmag, just file it down if you have trouble, but I haven't had any trouble myself.
 
Re: help with recoil reduction

I'm having good luck with recoil reduction on my 458 Socom using the Mako Recoil reducing stock. The perceived recoil reduction is a good 30% maybe as much as 50%. Others shooting the 458 Socom like it as well. It gets great reviews.

hold the damn thing tighter, it will recoil less

^^This. I might play around with different buffer weights, but that's about it. A muzzle brake won't hurt either, but you already said you plan on running it suppressed anyway.
 
Re: help with recoil reduction

I am trying to understand if : low mass bcg,buffer,spring and adjustable gas block tuned to not over gas the system would be better at reducing recoil than a regular bcg,heavy buffer,standard spring and an ajustable gas block tuned to not over gas the system? I think it would be better on recoil to use low mass because you could use less gas to move the bolt. Does this sound right to yall?

If Robert gives you advice on a 300 BLK....you should listen to it....he is pretty much the smartest guy on the planet when it comes to 300 BLK!
