The 1/16th drill would not have opened up the port any. Are you sure that is the port that is in it?
If the port is too small there would not be more recoil...
9mm buffers should be used in a 9mm. They are heavy but do not "buffer" as well, better to stick to the H's for 5.56.
I may be mistaken because the gunsmith that cut down the barrel said a lot of things. I was in awe of the whole process as I am more of an end user and an amateur tinkerer of parts than a machinist. I can build a gun from the ground up with parts that are already made. As far as machining parts, that is beyond my mechanical abilities.
I thought he said that it was 1/16th, but it may be bigger than that. All I know is that the gas port is significantly larger after he drilled it over stock.

Question, did you try and shoot the gun with barrel at the factory gas port size?
I see you have a can on the weapon. Remember that a can GREATLY increases pressue (aka felt recoil).
So let's make the assumption that the weapon is over gassed. Here are some ways to slow things down and get rid of the extra gas:
1. Use a quality CS buffer spring (like ISMI Tactical Spring Co).
2. Use at least an H buffer and should really look at H2 and H3 buffers
3. Use an LMT Enhanced carrier (NOT the enhanced BCG).

What about pulling the gas tube and the FSB and seeing what the gas port hole size is first?
