    Limbsavers are great, but if they don't fit a slip on Pachmayr Decelerator Recoil Pad may.

    Also, you can buy a vest with gel pad in it, my shotgun shooting vest made with a pocket in a shoulder area. Gel pad I made myself from computer mouse pad.

    I guess you type without reading the earlier post.

    FWIW, a Springco blue spring and heavier buffer makes a significant difference in felt recoil. I just proved that to a buddy with a brand new DD.

    You can temporarily add mass with adhesive weights designed for balancing tires:

    Another vote for the limbsaver recoil pad as well.

    Yeah the stick on weights would work well. Stop by a tire shop and grab some lead ones and get more weight for the area versus steel or zinc.

    If it's shoulder related issues and the gun isn't gassed to death, the Vltor Modstock and slip on butt pad might be a good solution.

    Before anything, check to see which buffer the AR has. If it's a carbine weight buffer, replace it with an H2.

    Carbine weight buffers are too light and the result is sharp recoil.

    Increasing the overall weight of an AR will reduce free recoil, but may not help it feel any softer.

    Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and insights. I'll follow-up with the final solution and results. It'll probably be a month or more.

    If the rifle is overgassed, a brt tuned gas tube will drastically smooth out the recoil.

    I could not believe the difference before and after on my bcm 11.5.
    The idea is to flatten the curve and make it longer... like covid lol.

    Limb saver is my recommendation for a recoil pad.
    My go to pad for shotguns, only two of my ARs have limbsavers as it’s kinda overkill but comfy.
    Another option is the Fab Defense ‘recoil reducing’ stock. Never tried one but do have a Fab Def GL-CORE stock.

    And of course, maybe an adjustable gas block or gas key? Stop the recoil at the source.

    My first AR upper was a RRA 16” carbine HBAR, WAAAY over gassed. Not fun. So my next upper was the polar opposite, a BCM middy 14.5” pinned pencil profile. Uber light and half the recoil. Still my favorite.
