Deadwing & rob_s, many thanks for your replies. You guys here most assuredly know a lot more about the AR platform than I do, but could you expound upon why using the buffer to balance out the recoil profile is a poor idea to pursue? PM me if need be. Thanks again guys.

Are you looking to optimize cycling and reliability, or even the weight of the rifle to make it less nose heavy?

@ Deadwing & Joelski: Yes Sirs! The idea being to use the buffer as a counter weight of sorts so that while firing the barrel stays as flat as possible. I use pencil barrels exclusively paired with standard plastic handguards.
This is the particular build I'm referring to.Sturgill Simpson - You can have the Crown https://youtu.be/tNV16tz1NK0

@ Deadwing: Roger that. I did not make myself clear when I posted. My mistake. Thank you fella's.

I'd get a B-5 or somesuch other stock with storage and fill the battery tubes with nickels to get a balance rather than mess with the buffer for that purpose.

And it looks like you have the stock squared away.

Thank you for the reply Joelski. I'm trying soooo hard to keep the weight of this build under 7lbs. because I use a scope with it sometimes and that adds a lot of weight, and changes the balance point a great deal while carrying it, but I will indeed look into your suggestion. I think for now I'm going to throw an H3 in there and see how that balances the recoil when just using irons and walk it back from there if need be. Really appreciate the help guys. Thank you.
This is the same rifle with the 1.5x6 scope attached.
Errata: I think I'm going to go back to the Tapco SAW pistol grip too. I like how it makes my hand choke-up on the grip and reduces lateral "wobble" for me while firing.Sturgill Simpson - You can have the Crown https://youtu.be/tNV16tz1NK0

Just to be clear, I was referring to "tuning" the rifle. I had never heard that term before but that's what I was getting at. I'm learning all the time. Cheers!
