so i want to cut down on felt recoil... not that the recoil hurts my shoulder but i am looking to get the rifle shooting flatter for quicker follow up shots.... i have a muzzle break that is proprietary to my soon to own suppressor so getting a new break is out of the question.  i was thinking h2 or  h3 buffer or maybe a spikes buffer.... also thinking a chrome silicon recoil spring or wolff extra power recoil spring.. any ideas as to what i can do ? id hate to get the spikes buffer only to not really notice any thing and end up throwing away 40 bucks

uhh...how bout some specs on your rifle?  depending on your gas system and barrel length you may not even be able to.

Once you run the sound suppressor, you will definitely notice a reduction in recoil. This is due to the additional weight, as well as gas pressure being exerted against the baffles, creating opposite force.

x2 on this

You have options, but what ones depends a lot on your current set up.

If you have a midlength or shorter gas system, the H2 is a safe bet to make a difference. You could pick up a used one for less.

may or may not.





added weight will reduce very little it but the baffles wont help, there is not a "opposite" force. The gasses dont change direction lika a brake, they are contained. The extra gas will also cause the rifle to cycle faster which increases "fel" recoil.





I depends on how good the brake was to start with. If its real good, then you might get a increase with recoil.





All my guns are suppressed, from 22lr up to the 50's. The 50 is a perfect example of increased recoil, the brake is awesome, and it has more recoil when suppresed.



OP a heavy buffer/spring  will help some with recoil, but it will help more with blowback

Buy an H3 and a carbine buffer.  Knock the roll pin out and mix and match the weights to give you carbine, H1, H2, and H3 buffers.  See what you like the best and what functions well in your firearm.

would a person be better off to get a regular h2 or 3 or buy the spikes buffer ? it seems to be the magical thing these days

Go with a H2 buffer...

Skip the Spikes.

Run the heaviest buffer you can that will still lock the bolt back on the last round with the weakest ammo you plan to shoot.

I run an H3 and Blue Springco with my DD 11.5".
It functions with Steel cased ammo without the suppressor, and obviously does fine with the can as well.

H3 buffer with standard carbine buffer spring.

bought the h3 buffer I guess I can do like the poster above said and that is switch different weights out until I find what works best
