I recently purchased a used Windham Weaponry model WW-308 (safely can fire .308 and 7.62x51). When I bought it I also purchased 100 rounds of Federal Premium Law Enforcement Tactical match grade SECONDS (due to “visual” / “blemish” [depending on where it is written]. That’s all the .308 ammo they had according to the clerk... These rounds seem to kick more than I would have expected from a .308 (I frequently shoot 10 GA and 7mm Rem Mag). Since then, I also acquired 300 rounds of M80 (for practice / plinking) and 500 rounds of M118 BTHP (for my DOPE book). The 80’s shoot fine, and I still need to take the 118’s out.
My question is: What can I do to help dampen the felt recoil? I have installed a POF Dictator adjustable inline (no bends) gas block. Also, I’m trying to avoid a muzzle break at this time. I also plan on upgrading the stock to a: Luth-AR MBA-1 AR-15/.308 AR Adjustable Rifle Buttstock Polymer Dark Earth MBA-1F (copied and pasted)
I was looking a: Strike Industries AR10 Flat Wire Spring Buffer Tube Action Spring Replacement (copied and pasted).
Any my thoughts on those last two items? Also, what kind of buffer will help the most? The one that came with it is super light.
