[QUOTE="CSeverns, post: 3842951, member: 44527"] You might try an adjustable gas block. I think that they’re a must on any .308 AR build due to the finicky nature of the platform. But adjustable gas blocks are there mostly to aid in reliability based on whatever ammo you’re using at the time. As much as you don’t want to hear it, the most dramatic effect on the recoil will be based on your muzzle device. You need to be running a good muzzle brake to get the most noticeable recoil reduction. The brakes that do best in reducing .308 recoil are gonna be the Lantac Dragon, Precision Armament M4-72, Ultradyne Apollo, VG6 Lambda, and I’ve also heard pretty good things about the tanker style brakes (like what you’d see on a .50BMG). If you’re worried about gas-slapping the people shooting next to you at the range, Indian Creek Designs makes a universal blast forwarding device that threads over any muzzle device up to 1 inch in diameter and will work with just about all of them. So it’s like a Surefire Warden that you can use the brake of your choice with. [/QUOTE]
