I have never thought the recoil on an ar needed to be reduced much if you have a brake. I have the jp light weight carrier and it runs great but would just go with the regular if I did it again. I also have a g2 308 with small frame sized bcg and it recoils harder than the normal large frames ar.

The mil spec rifle timing is setup with the FA weight so it will be reliable. The caliber was chosen for a particular reason over the larger caliber . Really how much recoil is there from a 5.56 to worry about BGC sizes?

Why does everybody focus on recoil? It not about recoil, its about minimizing bounce and gun movement. I don’t think anyone objects to .223 recoil from a comfort standpoint, but if you can virtually eliminate all firearm movement with a combination of muzzle-brake, adjustable gas system and low mass operating components, why wouldn’t you? I know my WK180 is a lot less controllable than my full-system tuned AR.
That is what I want to do, minus the brake part. I'd rather stick to a pure flash hider or a flash hider/comp combo device. Unlike recoil, sonic boom really bites on 556/223, especially indoors.
