The real men handle recoil comment was directed to 667 and his disbelief that Jerry could shoot an unmodified Garand so quickly. Maybe I need to use smileys more?
I believe he can as his hands are like vice grips.
As to the use of comps on our rifles, as I said I use a JP/Cooley and my rifle does not move when fired.
The comp along with the adjustable gas system I have, I can tune the rifle where it suits me.
The AR is fun without a brake, so much more fun all tricked out.
