Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Broken Bolt Catch, Buffer Spacers
Posted: 2/22/2017 9:05:18 PM EDT
All

Forgive my ignernce but I am supposing the broken bolt catch issue experienced by some only happens when firearm is equipped with some form of LRBHO.

My 9mm Glock-mag AR is not equipped with a LRBHO function, though it does have a bolt catch so one can manually lock open the action.  Is there any reason to limit the travel of my BCG with spacers or quarters or whatever?

Thanks

I run a spacer (7 quarters) in my non-LRHO Glock lower, it feels smoother to me.
But not necessary IMHO.

New Frontier Armory makes a spacer that fits inside the Buffer Spring, I use them in my 9mm builds, limits bolt travel and reduces bolt bounce, also speeds up lock time.

I use a KAK 9mm 10oz buffer with 2 quarters.

Might as well have the weight in the buffer in an extended 9mm buffer config. Kill 2 birds with one stone.
