mrtn Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I have an M&P 15 carbine I use for 3 gun. After shooting a buddies JP rifle with a low mass BCG, I would like to reduce the recoil in my rifle. Will I achieve this with the use of a low mass BCG on my current carbine gas/barrel. I understand I will need an adjustable gas block. Any advice from the experts would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ak_tech Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I dont think of myself as an expert but I have been shooting ARs over 20 year. Its will probably help with the impulse caused my the reciprocating mass. However, its really the combination of the rifle length gas system, adjustable gas block, barrel comp, and low mass BCG being tuned to work well with each other for your particular load. I have seen some success with different combinations of these but your buddies JP probably has them all. That said a good comp, LMBCG, adjustable gas system on a carbine can still make a noticeable difference. Thanks my 2 cents anyway. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The low mass system is nice but its going to cost you more than a new barrel and comp would or about the same depending on the barrel you get.

blairmckenzie1 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I would try an adjustable gas block with your stock parts and see how you like it. $50 vs $250, I think you will be surprised how much it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz41 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Do you have a comp on your gun OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 I do. I've added a comp, adjustable gas block, upgraded my trigger and added a free float forearm . Barrel, reciever and BCG are stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therealkoop Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Shit man, youve already got everything except the low mass and the barrel. Id just take that stuff off, get a new gas tube, and buy a nice barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
