I pretty much have everything but the BCG and handguard. But as I was hefting the ROAM magnesium upper receiver the other day and marveling at how light it was, I was struck with the thought that it is going to hurt to shoot. I have a compensator for it, so hopefully that will cut the recoil.Docenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13573255956484552163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195077991229481958.post-4999868656798650812021-12-01T12:15:41.126-07:002021-12-01T12:15:41.126-07:00Hey Docent.

I'm curious about how bad the recoil is. Years ago I had a Yugo AK in 7.62/.308 and it weighed something like 9 pounds. I wouldn't called that particular rifle "lightweight"...especially with a full 20 rd mag...BUT it did kick like a mule! The bolt travel was so long that it almost felt like a double recoil with the initial impulse followed by the bolt slamming rearward! How does yours feel?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14779970961017760314noreply@blogger.com
