Abstract: We make explicit Bombieri's refinement of Gallagher's log-free "large sieve density estimate near $sigma=1$" for Dirichlet $L$-functions. We use this estimate and recent work of Green to prove that if $Ngeq2$ is an integer, $Asubseteq1,ldots,N$, and for all primes $p$ no two elements in $A$ differ by $p-1$, then $|A|ll{N}^{1-1/10^{18}}$. This strengthens a theorem of S'ark"ozy.
