Got the rig built and it's a slick shooter. 15.4" wilson barrel with carbine length gas system, YHM diamond free float, RRA NM 2 stage, YHM comp/brake perm attached, rear pod, front bagged or bipod'd, blah blah blah. All in all, the build makes for a very light rifle and is a 1/2 MOA gun with me being a 1.5 MOA shooter. The primary use for this gun is 100-600 yards at least once a month. I do handload and only shoot that load through it.
Basically, I'm looking to make the recoil virtually non existent to aid in follow up shots and spotting my hits better. To do this a few thoughts have crossed my mind.
1. Add physical weight- This would be achieved by sand or lead in the storage area of my A2.
2. buffer/spring change- Something to slow the mass as it comes rearward. Stiffer spring/heavier buffer
3. Adjust the gas- This is what I consider to be the best option as the ar15 is gassed to operate with virtually all ammo. The normal load doesn't need alot of gas to cycle so the bcg cycles MUCH harder than needed.
4. low mass carrier- This will really only make sense with the gas killed if I'm thinkin right.
5. slowly do all as I get money
I'm looking into the adjustable gas tubes offered by Fulton Armory or MGI. The gun is already built and flash hider soldiered on so removal to install an adjustable gas block isn't of interest to me.
Any other suggestions or specifics on what I should look at? Have you used these gas tubes?
