[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2430960, member: 8907"] Gas port size and the BCG/Buffer weights and Spring rates matter. In my SR-15, the gas tube is straight with and it is connected with threads to the rest of the rifle so, less gas volume is needed to drive it so buffer weight and spring rates are less as well. This keeps BCG velocity down which is often overlooked in home-built AR-15's and a lot of production rifles as well. All this makes it the softest shooting rifle I have ever shot. Seriously, it is like shooting a stock Ruger 10/22 because while the bullet weighs more and flies faster, it is also a heavier rifle so the recoil impulse is really muted. My friend's DCM rifle is twice as heavy and has a similar recoil impulse. When my friend shot my rifle, his first two comments were about its exceptionally soft recoil impulse and its phenomenal accuracy. [/QUOTE]
