Is yours a Carbine gas system?
There is a huge difference from his 16" carbine gas to the 18" rifle length i have on my AR10 on recoil. Mine is smooth and soft. His is like shooting a youth model 308 bolt action that only weighs 3#, Its brutal.
I sent mine back to the factory with the Adjustable Gas Block installed along with an Extra Heavy Buffer with a Matched Heavy Spring. Factory sent it to Alhmons gun Repair who is a Factory authorized repair shop for numerous brands. As you can tell they could not make it act right themselves. I think the short barrel combined with the Carbine length Buffer Tube is just not good for Suppressed 308.
