I know recoil on an ar is light as it is but i am considering an adjustable gas block to fine tune it a bit or use a diy mehod on my current a2 block. After watching copious amounts of video and equal reading I do not want to use heavier buffers or spend high $'s on light weight carriers. The amount of reduction you can get is impressive with several examples shot through a red dot( camera through he sight) recoil can be brought down to near 22lr amounts. I am interested in this for more consistant third round placement. My first two are within about 5 inches on rapid fire double taps which i can make sound nearly like one shot but my third is nearly always off high right. I use no brake just an a2 flash hider. Thoughts and opinions please?

I'm not sure it is the recoil as much as trigger control. I would focus on the first shoot being the one that counts.

Do some research on what the 3 gun guys are doing. You will see some wicked muzzle breaks and mid length heavy barreled ARs.
If it can be done, those guys do it.

WC that is exactly where my interest came from. Brakes buffer weight and spring rates light weivht bolt carrier groups and adjustable gas blocks are how they get it. Brakes and gas block tweaking being the top two with flat wound spring and tungsten buffer second and light weight carrier group third. Sinve a2 front sights have the gas block built in i want to try the diy mehthod. Its free and if it fails a new one is 14 bucks for pin on or about 40 for an adjustable block wih flip up fronts

Mud, specialized guns are for 'games'. You may not have 'Your' special, or favorite gun in hard times. Learn and practice with a standard gun. Let the person running the gun make the difference, not the gun.  |

Another thing to consider is when or if you have to switch ammo at some period. Different ammo will operate your weapon n a different manor. Don't want to end up with a manually operated weapon when you really need a auto.

The idea of it being adjustable was exactly for games. In particular when we do our zombie runs. While all hits are good we are getting to the point that grouping will factoe into scoring.

Brings to mind some thing that was beat into me over the years. "Practice, doesn't make perfect. Perfect practice, makes perfect".
Have fun. ;D
