Since I got the new 7.62x39 upper from the Bear Den (Bear Creek) I got worried about the wimpy 3 oz. buffer in my PSA lower kit beating the rifle to a pulp. Luckily I had a heavy 5 oz buffer in my parts box so my worries were over.
Next I decided to price a new buffer in the 4 oz neighborhood on line. *(&%*&&^ they are expensive. Sheesh if I had a lathe I could turn one out in 20 minutes!
I took a spare 3 oz. buffer and drove the pin out. It had 3 weights inside. The weights were separated by rubber spacers. The weights were 1/2" diameter and .6" long. They were blued steel.
I found on Amazon a set of weights for sale that let you adjust your buffer to any desirable weight. Unfortunately the price was unbelievable too. I'm hoping that my buffer does not need to be toned down to the 4 oz range, but if it does I'm gonna try using lead shot for a filler in my 3 oz buffer.
Join the fight against excessive profits on buffers!!
