If you can't already tell by my name, I am an XCR owner. That being said, I am prior military and have plenty of experience using the M4. I recently decided to build an M4 Carbine from the ground up. The gun performs flawlessly. Never had any kind of malfunction at all (yet!). I will eventually modify it into a MK18 like I had in the service.
Everything is of decent quality. I have the following:
BM upper and lower receiver
DTI 16" M4 1/9 barrel (will be buying a 1/7 10.3 soon)
DD Omega 7" Rail.
CTR stock w/mil spec tube.
H3 Buffer
BM semi-auto BCG
Std. A2 FH/Comp.
However, the buffer spring I am using is a carbine buffer spring that I got out of a free CAA collapsible stock kit.
I have put close to 500 rounds through it over the last few weeks and the recoil is just horrible. I cannot double tap and hit a man sized target at 50 yards. I can barely double tap and hit the same target at 25 yards.
Now I am an expert shot with the M4 and the MK18. I never ever had a problem qualifying expert thought my entire military career so don't think the issue is with me.
Something is wrong and I cannot figure it out. Please help me out. I have been racking my brain to figure out what I need to do to SIGNIFICANTLY reduce felt recoil.
Any ideas?
