when a model 8/81 is fired what gun part absorbs most of the energy from the bullet torque

The SHOOTER!
Since the barrel is tight in the receiver block which is in turn fairly tight in the breech block at the moment of firing all the torque looks like it would be pretty evenly transmitted to the whole rifle.

"THE SHOOTER" haha I love it!
In essense the recoil and buffer springs are supposed to absorb a great deal of the recoil. The action spring some too as it's compressed. Keep in mind the shooter is feeling the momentem of the barrel, bolt, and bolt carrier moving rearward, this transmits some energy to the shoulder
I don't personally think 8/81's are too too bad, not even the 35's and 300's. A decent nudge on the shoulder merely reminds the shooter he's holding something special John Browning designed, haha
