I wasnt sure what section to put this in, but I figured this would be the place.
I have a TASK converted M11/9, it uses an AR buffer tube and buffer to reduce the rate of fire. Its shooting pretty fast, and I'd like to slow it down by putting a heavier buffer in it. I have access to a lathe, and would like to make a solid tungsten buffer. My only question is, does a buffer need to have the reciprocating weights inside to function properly? Would a solid buffer work?
The reciprocating weights cause a deadblow effect to combat bolt bounce especially in automatic weapons.
Spikes uses tungsten powder instead of slugs but it's not packed tightly.
9mmAR uses a solid buffer and the Slash (member) buffers are solid so they do work.
Why not try an H3 conventional ?
