Ya’ll prob’ly think I must be the world's biggest wuss, right? - - A recoil pad for a .223? But I need one for my AR-15 that's chambered for .50 Beowulf. Because it's light and has than very thin buttpad, it bruises me a some. My wife worries that every bruise I get will set up an infection that will kill me just because I once had a little bout of osteomylitis that started that way and dang near did kill me. Bottom line is, I'm afraid it will be the death of me, but it will be from aggravation. My wife is a very conscientious worrier. Reckon she must be afraid I’ll die before I pay what I owe. She’s prob’ly right, too. So, where, if at all, can I get such an animal?

Check with Tapco. I believe they do carry them for the AR & AK.

Thanks.

They had one and I bought it for less than $11. Appreciate the info.

I just bought a butt stock from Mako (Fab Defense) with a built in recoil spring. It cost me $100, but it was pretty cool. If you do a search on Google should be able to find. If not, send me a PM.

$11 seems like a deal. $100 makes duck tape and a sponge seem like a good option for cheapskates.

SOG make them for M4 style stocks

I'd personally go for a better stock, something like a LMT sopmod.

Yes

Wow .50 Beowulf on an AR platform ! Do you have some sort of Barrett style muzzle brake on it? If not I would look into that to help out the recoil.
As far as a recoil pad, Look at Cheaper than Dirts or Natchez's sites

Ordered it with what they call a "pepper pot" brake on it. That little skinny buttstock on the light AR lower with a .50 cal upper still raises bruises. I'll probably take the last advice offered and get a Vltor EMOD or LMT SOPMOD buttstock. I bought a recoil pad, but haven't put it on yet. It's gonna fit poorly and look a little cheesy if I do, I think.

I know this is an old thread but if you were still interested in a break, check out king armory.

You will need a smith or machinist to turn the old one off because alexander arms apparently never intended for it to be removable.
