#1 What kind of ammo did you shoot through it before? If the M193 was loaded to M193 spec, it will def have more power and recoil then say... .223 loaded out to 2600 fps.

#2 The buffer shouldn't be that noticeable.

#3 Make sure your buddies AR didn't have a brake. A brake will make a HUGE difference in recoil.

#4 There is no such thing as unbearable recoil out of an AR15 chambered in 5.56. Not even sure I'd call it "noticeable" :P Well at least not out of my stainless SPR contour, rifle length gas system, 12lb AR with monster brake. Feels kinda like a 22lr.
