I had a wooden AKM-style stock on it originally, but decided to trade a bit more felt recoil for the utility of the sidefolder. I like the looks of the AK103-type folders but am not sure they'll work with a Kobra. Mine has a bare muzzle (I don't care for brakes on intermediate-caliber rifles) and that undoubtedly makes the recoil a little more noticeable.That, my friend, is your problem. Those stocks tend to be rather abusive to your shoulder due to their minimalist design. Switch it out for a regular stock or a better side-folding stock and you'll see the difference. My Romanian underfolder is very gentle. Granted, I did put a brake on it since it came with a threaded barrel.
I don't live there nor know for certain, but from what I can glean off the net, you can. I too vote for the M1 Carbine as the best choice...after that some variant of 5.56NATO rifle; first and foremost for me would be the Tavor...which IS available in CAN...but not in the US.I'm almost certain an M1 is a restricted firearm in canada
Low recoil rifle
Hey everyone, I'm new to the THR. I recently hurt my shoulder pretty severely. Im looking to purchase a new rifle but am definitely concerned about excessive recoil. Im interested mainly in military surplus arms. Does anyone have a recommendation?
