Reading the first bullet point. Is this right. A .75 inch spacer behind the recoil sping?

Yes when colt was doing international sales in the 90’s the shells getting caught in the pocket was common enough to warrant a fix so the early ones had a spacer in them in order to fix it. They then redid the buffer some time later.
This is not an issue on the semis only the autos. |

You don't need the spacer if you use a buffer designed for 9mm that is 5/8" - 3/4" longer than a .556 buffer. A 9mm one needs to be a lot heavier; the longer one will also help with that. |

This is the buffer and spacer from a 635 kit I sold last year. It’s just a rubber bumper.

That’s the only one I’ve ever seen IRL. |

You could fabricate one easy enough out of rubber.

you can also just stack half a dozen quarters in the end of the buffer tube - does the same thing

$15 for a store bought, or $1,50 for 6 quarters...seems like a no brainer...
