Retro won't be coming up with anything for couple of months because of shoulder replacement surgery. I have to say that I've been surprised at the direction this thread took. Most of the time I haven't seen these kinds of divisions. There are some brilliant folks on this forum that most like myself can learn from. I've tried something similar to what Rick suggested in my quest for improved shooting technique. It didn't work for my situation but i'm ok with that. During the next couple of months of physical therapy I can practice creating the perfect pocket for bench rest shooting. I seriously doubt that I'll ever elevate my shooting to 1000 yd marksmanship but I will continue to develop a decent position for repeatability in my performance. Repeatability currently is about 2 MOA and I know that my equipment is capable of doing better as I have managed a couple of SUB-MOA groups. What I'm incapable of doing at this point is doing that over and over again.

Enough about the free recoil technique! Rick said a couple of times that it is not a good idea for light weight AR's that are basically military in style. Rather for quite heavy rifles using bag rider forends.
My advice to Retro given his carbine fits the description of a military carbine firing service ammo is to develop a bench position that fits him like a tight glove and maintain full control over the carbine under recoil and in return to sight picture.
Now lets see what Retro comes up with since he is the one who started the thread.
Don't worry -- I will lock it if it turns into a pissing contest but not now.
