How exactly does the LBs affect the gun? Does higher LBs = lower recoil? Does higher LBs increase the risk of faluire to feeds or faluire to eject?

My question as well. Saw a youtube video with a different company and he stated it had more snap with the lighter spring but was able to set his follow up shot quicker. The heavier spring took longer to set up the next shot because the gun traveled slower in the recoil. My question still remains if there will be stove piping if I use lighter grade ammo with the heavier spring.

It is heavy without the weights. I sighted in my .308 without weights and it did a very good job, I was impressed. Probably need to reset between shots more without weights, but would work fine with your ar15. I have purchased weights for it but don't know how necessary it was. It was really stable without weights.

I really only have one thought, if it has the same trigger mechanism as my 308 it will reduce trigger pull to 3 to 4 pounds from the approx. 6 to 7. Just test rifle in accordance with instructions by bouncing it afterword's to assure the reduced pull is not so light the rifle will be able to fire if dropped. Might want to do it just before applying thread locker to assure spring stays in location.

It can also mean that there is too much spring tension and may cause issues with the ejection of the shell cartridge. I would go either the standard recoil spring weight and recommend nothing else. Unless you shoot 147gr rounds only then the spring weight may be raised up from oem tensions.

I have a S&W; model 37 air weight in a 38spl. I had the factory wood grips and changed to the Hogue. The recoil of the air weight is pretty noticeable. After shooting it about a dozen times your ready to put it down. The Hogue grips help me hang on a little better. Recoil is still pretty bad, but easier to manage with the new grips. Besides my pistol looks better also. It's worth the $20. I'd buy them again. As far as being longer I don't think it is. I've owned my pistol for about 30 years. I bought some PAC Meyer ( spelling ) grips that we're really big. They were about the size of the gun. A lot easier to handle on the range, but sure looked retarded. Hope this helps.

I use it on a .308 and have it on a picatinny rail system so I can remove it. After over 200 rounds, multiple removals, storage, transport, and various bumps it still holds true. It really depends which .50 bmg you put it on. If a Barret it should be fine. With others I don't know. As for adjustment it has a lot. Will it compensate for drop at 2000 m? Probably not. 1000m? Definitely.

I agree with the other gentlemen. The heavier the recoil the more something negative can and will happen, (Murphy's Law) just when you need your A-game going for you. However, with all that's been said, give it a try and keep us all posted. I wish you luck!

Is it a magnum or light A5? If it is a light, then since it didn't come with a recoil pad already, it would make the length of pull really long. I would think, though, that if it already has a recoil pad, the contour of the stock should be the same.

The product description states it will. I have a SD40VE with the 20 lbs spring and I absolutely recommend it! Made as well as my M&P; 40's stainless guild rod. I picked the higher 20 lbs spring rate and I have had no ejection malfunctions( with .40 s&w;, ranging from 60 to 180 gr ammo). My perceived recoil is better, smoother feeling.

It depends on the type gun and the caliber. I purchased this item for my Para Expert 45acp, and I could see immediate improvements of recoil and performance. It did reduce the recoil and it was on target about 99% of the time. I love it.

No idea if it will or not, question is why you would put one on it and add to the length of pull?If you have a medical issue that makes you worry about the recoil of the "mighty" 12G go with a 20 or a .410, if not man the hell up and learn to operate the 12G's recoil.

It is not an impact but it has plenty of torque *if* you have the recommended 90 psi OPERATING pressure at the gun (not at the tank and not the static pressure). I wrote about this elsewhere but I rented a free air pressure gauge from AutoZone, bought $4 worth of air fittings from Home Depot and made a T-fitting at the gun to set the 90 psi OPERATING pressure via the compressor regulator. If you don't have 90 psi operating pressure at the gun you will be disappointed in its performance. Once you have it set be careful and hang on tight - it can be a knuckle buster. :)

You answered your own question! Should reduce felt recoil a bit but be aware that the cheap material they use as a buffer will mushroom and hang up on your spring after 3 boxes of ammo!!!!!

Yes if you weight it down. I use two 25 lb bags of lead shot, the recoil is barely noticeable from my 30-06 to my shoulder. The muzzle will still jump when fired which causes you to readjust your sights on target, but recoil is significantly reduced

I'm not sure the difference but double magnum 44 action spinner is one tough customer. I've shot it over 1000 times with my 45 ACP and haven't effected it except knocking the paint off ... It will move in the ground if you don't secure it with heavy rounds ... I cut a larger log about to size of a 5 gallon bucket ... Stood it upright drilled 2 holes for the feet ... Hasn't moved since

I have moved it around several times without any failures. It was 1st on Kel-Tec sub 2000, then AR, and finally Ruger Mk lll and it has preformed very well in these applications. Can't say how it would be on a shotgun (haven't tried). My sub 2000 is 40 cal. and has very noticeable recoil, but not like 12 ga.

My Shield had an 8 lb+ trigger pull and after installation it was about 5.5 lbs. I think because of the parts replaced, the final result should be the same no matter what the pull weight is at the start. I have limited experience with gun mechanics but I installed my own kit, albeit, slowly. You Tube has numerous videos of amateurs installing this kit - I watched several before I picked one... David's advice to check with a gunsmith is always good advice.
