OK 10-4... I talked to my buddy and he said just spit shine it. I mounted the scope for him and sighted it in. Now.. i'm a recoil wimp.... but dang its got some bark man. The muzzle device is a flash hider. I told my buddy.. "she needs a brake man" So i won't be surprised if he ends up wanting to get that device off
Not sure if they have a standard length. I was just curious due to the recoil you mentioned.
So here is some history... First gun to shoot... .22, 2nd 12g, 3rd 270. I was afraid of guns. My dad was a west coast surfer, not a hunter. Fast forward to about 3yrs ago. The gun bug bit the hell out of me. Bought a AR15, 300blk, 6.5c and a 338lm. The lm has a good brake on it. Yesterday was my first time shooting a 308. I just didn't realize how much punch the round has. I run my 6.5c on 40x and keep sight picture no problem. I guess I'm just a L7 weeny.
We all start in different ways. I grew up in a democrat home! Fortunately my dad was old school. He's a good man. These days he's getting pretty old and his ability to think is declining. Not even being a wise ass. He swallows whatever the dnc says now. Its a shame but I still love him. I got into guns on my own and at 18 had a few. He was like: "ok...be safe". Lucky for me I took hunter safety and learned from experienced folks right away. But never once did my old man push anti gun shit on me. Its important to be in a home that promotes free thinking. He's definitely a rare one.
Yeah.. I do think it's the weight of the rifle. That's what my buddy said when I picked it up... "man this thing is light for a AR10"
I'm building a 16" barreled one myself, hadn't thought much about the recoil myself. Guess I'll see how it feels.
Cool... let me know how it turns out.
And it doesn't help when you shoot shirtless
How does barrel length affect recoil?
Barrel length has more to do with wether the muzzle device is pinned and welded or not.
It doesn't. I was thinking about weight for the rifle overall and was curious how much of that may come from the barrel. A heavy 18, 20 or 22 compared to say a 16 A2 profile. The rest of the rifle is all pretty light unless it has a heavy duty quad rail on. It was just a quick question as I pondered weight and the comment about it the recoil.
