Any pro tips on reducing AR-10 recoil? Any good muzzle breaks? I don't have a .30cal supressor, or at least no yet.

Any pro tips on reducing AR-10 recoil? Any good muzzle breaks? I don't have a .30cal supressor, or at least no yet.
One of the obvious ways would be to get a recoil pad. Limpsaver and Magpul both make one, probably others.
Any standard muzzle brake will help. I've not found a significant difference in felt recoil between various brands of similar design.
You can also add weight to the rifle to reduce felt recoil. On an AR-10 adding enough weight to matter might be difficult.

I?ve fired some pretty soft shooting AR-10s. While a good muzzle device can obviously make a difference, getting the gas system and buffer dialed in right can really take a lot of the bite out of the recoil.
Add weight to the carrier/buffer/spring. JP or Little Bastard brake. Adjustable gasblock could help some.
Or, add weight to the rifle, add a brake/can and use a lighter weight carrier.
I have a first gen LaRue OBR. With a can it is pretty soft shooting even with 175 and 185s because it is a heavy rifle.
I can't add anything that others haven't already said, but I will definitely add a +1 for a Little Bastard brake.
They are loud, but the "Bastard" series of brakes are phenomenal at recoil reduction.
Does it all help if I'm using a magpul ACS stock? Minus the butt pad.

I’ve got a big chubby you could try. It just sits on my bench.
