Got my Brownells news letter.
Reduce recoil on a ar15.
April fools joke????
They have no recoil to begin with.
Maybe just a sign of the times where most shoot only ar's.
I wonder how many shots it would take, shooting a 338 Mag, before the flinch like they were shocked with a taser.
Don't you know that an AR-15 is as heavy as a moving box?
Had to chuckle when my pard mounted a muzzle brake on his 10/22...
Rights, and Privileges, are not synonymous. We have the Right to Bear Arms. As soon as the Government mandates firearm registration, and permiting, then that Right becomes a Privilege, and may be taken away at our Master's discretion.
Well, according to some of the woke newscasters the AR bruised them up, the muzzle blast caused a concussion, and they were suffering from PTS. And that was in .223...

That look on your face, when you shift into 6th gear, but it's not there.
I think that a reduction of recoil in an AR-15 is a benefit! Muzzle flip would be reduced, continuous target acquisition would be far easier also. Making an already user friendly platform even easier to use.

Oh, you mean a machine gun.

Kinda like O'l joe saying 9mm blows lungs completely out of the body!
If liars pants really did catch on fire, watching the news would be a lot more fun!
many years ago; i had a friend (machinist) who was mounting a muzzle brake on a bolt action 223. i asked why. said that he was going out west to hunt prarie dogs. the muzzle brake would allow him to see his hits and misses. on that note; if you can't take recoil, shoot a lighter caliber or toughen up!!
1971, U S Army Basic Combat Training, Fort Dix, NJ. Intro to live fire demonstration. The Instructor placed the but of an M-16 against his crotch and fired the rifle to demonstrate its recoil. 'Nuff said.

Does the AR15 produce enough recoil to make the crosshairs move from the target enough to not be able to spot your own bullet impacts?Originally Posted by abunaitoo
My primary use prairie dog rifles have 28" heavy barrels with lead in the stock. They weight around 14 or 15 pounds and yes, they have the largest most effective muzzle breaks I can find so I can spot bullet impacts for myself from less than stable rests.

Guess I'd better be taking the brakes and suppressors off of my varmint rifles!!!!
Or perhaps I should just go straight to air rifles? Because I have muzzle devices on everything from 17 HMR to 225 Winchester to.....well everything other than my vintage guns.
No! Wait! I have a Maxim suppressor for my 1894 Winchester as well as my 1895 Winchesters....dang - guess me and my ancestors have been weak shouldered for over a century.
But seriously, if one cannot find an advantage from reduced recoil - I'm guessing that person hasn't shot very far very often.

Army basic 1966 instructor put the rifle against the weakest lookin’ recruits chest, no pain, just push and that was a M14 in 7.62 x 51! Tim
I put a 4 prong fh on my dedicated Seekins .22 AR. Has totally eliminated the recoil.
Thats the problem,, when you try to make a rifle have the same weight as an N frame revolver..
Bigger barrel, use the manly 1" diameter heavy contour barrel... make it 20"... get the stock that weighs more then 3 pounds
I have a Rem 700 V in 223 and have never had an issue keeping view of bullet strikes with out any recoil reduction devices.
Excellent example! The M14 was (is) essentially uncontrollable in full auto or sustained semi automatic fire. Hence one of the many reasons that it had the shortest service life of any service rifle.

Many ported 9mm's being sold these days too. A lot of young men in the country seem to have a severe case of vaginitis.
Some of the brakes on AR's might make the guns run a little flatter for the gamer's advantage against a stopwatch, but for any "game" played at night or without earplugs, they are a lot flashier and blastier than the good old A2 birdcage. I'll pass.

In the Land of Oz, we cast with wheel weight and 2% Tin, Man.
When my brother was a DI, he fired from his forehead, chest, and groin for the recruits.
Hard to be afraid of it after that. Lol
That is a myth........
With proper training and proper use, the M14 and M14A1 are quite controllable in full auto and sustained semi auto fire. Those lacking in proper training and use of FA will have problems with any FA firearm including the M16.
