buffer

I filled a rifle buffer with tungsten and it only weighed 9.5 ounces with 6 tungsten weights. That actually worked pretty good but I wanted to find the limit for too much weight on a rifle with silencer. I found "heavy rifle buffers dot com". Thought it was a neat idea. But on the website I...

With the current political environment around AR pistol braces, I was looking for a simple and effective pattern to wrap the buffer tube for my 10.5” build. Watched a number of videos before finding one I liked. May be of interest for any of you looking for a similar solution: Results:

Because we skippin right over H4. Here is the standard length carbine buffer that holds 3 buffer weights in H5, for suppressed carbines. Its a stainless body liberty buffer body filled with tungsten. A typical aluminum buffer body weighs 0.8oz, the stainless weights a beefy 2.2oz by its self...

Hey guys, So I've already built a very reliable AR-15. Well, I built the lower and bought a complete upper (all from PSA). Now I am building an AR-15 pistol lower (it'll be in 5.56 to start), and I'll be buying a complete upper from PSA in a few months time when I can afford it. I am building...

On precision rifle chassis that use an AR-15 style buffer tube for the buttstock, how do you keep it from loosening? There is no plate to stake into the castle nut, so do you loctite it, or just crank it down and hope it stays?

I'm looking for information about the bolt, buffer, buffer spring and how they interact with each other, tuning for proper bolt cycling. Info I'm looking for: What is the mass of a typical AR 308 DPMS bolt assembly? my bolt is 17.5 ozs What happens if the buffer mass is increased? Will this...

I am looking to upgrade my carbine length S&W Sport (the old ones lacking FA and dust cover) by adding a lightweight, mid-length upper. Palmetto has a nice pencil barrel flat top one. I want things light. Will I need to make changes in the buffer tube? Spring maybe?

These springs all come with firing pin springs, which are a bit of a pain to change. Question, should I replace the firing pin springs or just save them as spares? I have factory springs in my 2nd and 3rd generation S&W stainless 9mm pistols and bought some stronger springs because I have...

How far will a 20 stuffed with buck kill a deer? Hard to imagine #4 killing very far? I have my 20 SxS stoked with 20 buck for H/D. Yea I also have a 12 loaded with buck too! Dave
