Thread: Is it time to leave the 27 gang?

There isn't enough compression in stock material between polymer and kevlar/glass/carbon fiber to make a noticeable difference in felt recoil. You need to be able to lengthen the recoil impulse to make a change in peak force. a mil or 2 of stock deflection isn't going to make a difference

Interesting...the T3 recoil pad is smaller than anything else I have measured (small sample) and the comb is way to low for me...I need to do some comparisons with other stock brands.
