Can you reduce AR recoil?
I know this sounds like I'm asking how to soften up a down pillow, but what are ways to reduce the recoil on an AR? (other than reducing the caliber to .22)
My dad has shoulder problems and I'm wondering what can be done for him other than tell him to shoot left handed.

Is this a carbine length gas system? If it is a carbine, depending on the loads you are running and the design of the gun, an H buffer may help.
I don't like muzzle brakes on an AR, it's hard on the ears. JP makes some stuff to reduce recoil on ARs': http://www.jprifles.com/

A chrome lined bore with 1:9 twist might be a chosie for less back pressure. Also, comercial 55gr., .223 loads instead of mil spec/5.56.

Its a DMPS Panther Carbine 5.56 1 in 9 barrel that when he fired it was using 55 grain .223.
I wonder if it is possible to reduce recoil enough not to mess with his shoulder, might need to get him to go see if he can take .22 recoil first. If he can't even take that then he is going to have to go to left handed.

bigjoeguns, the funny thing is I have had professors say that the grading I do for them is liberal, so I guess I balance out somewhere in the middle.
I wonder, since my dad is on SS disability, maybe that means he should get the government to pay for those JP add ons. However by the time this happens we all may have to watch out for low flying pigs. [laugh]
