    Buffer vs carrier weight?

    That wasn’t clear from the original post. I’d hate to see someone tear up their gun based on a vague/incomplete post. 👍🏻

    Buffer vs carrier weight?

    One role of the buffer is to limit rearward travel of the BCG. The plug/bumper is there to cushion the blow when the buffer bottoms out in the receiver extension. If your delrin disk is shorter than a buffer you are setting yourself up for problems. I’ve seen both sheared carrier keys and...

    Heavy buffers & Brass

    Yes, “they” do make .308 rifle buffers that weigh 16+ ounces. 😉

    Issue with Slash heavy buffer

    I've made a few custom buffers with a recess or groove around the head. This is a somewhat expensive solution, but it does hide the problem. Some people choose to just live with the problem. A few have removed the retainer and spring completely, but if you go this route you need to remember to...

    Issue with Slash heavy buffer

    This is a relatively common issue, mostly seen in guns with 'billet' or CNC receivers. A mis-located buffer retainer hole is the cause. If everything is 'in spec' the buffer never touches the retainer except when the receives are separated. This is the sole purpose of the retainer. When you...

    LMT MWS slashs buffer/spring question.

    Until I started make CAR-10 buffers, there was no such thing as a .308 carbine spring - All .308s used rifle springs regardless of the configuration (and there also was no way to use a standard 7" carbine buffer tube on a .308 AR). The shorter buffer requires a different spring because a...

    LMT MWS slashs buffer/spring question.

    I hope this clears up the confusion... The CAR-10/CAR-10 XH buffers are designed to be used with a standard 7" carbine receiver extension. If the top buffer in your pic came out of the MWS then it has a 7-3/4" VLTOR/ArmaLite receiver extension. With the extended tube I recommend an XH...

    Slash's Heavy Buffers?

    Re: Slash's Heavy Buffers? MWS uses the same buffers as an AR10, as do most other .308s on the market. The only exceptions are the early Bushmaster (RRA-designed) and current RRA models.

    Slash's Heavy Buffers?

    Re: Slash's Heavy Buffers? Hi guys. Sorry I don't have time to check in here as often as I should. A few thoughts - My standard AR10R-XH buffer is 10 ounces. I can also make them heavier by special order. Up to about 14-15 ounces. I don't recommend going heavier than 10 ounces unless you...
