Armanov Buffer, specifically. Does it work? Yes. It minimizes muzzle flip and drastically reduces the recoil impulses. Nothing comes close to this. I've tried kynshots, Unrivaled dead blows, JP SCS, that magnetic buffer that isnt mickulek none of them come remotely close.

I'd like to try one. In 3gun we did everything we could to control this. I was never impressed with the JP SCS. I did use a light JP carrier, mixed with a kynshot, and this was VERY low recoil. We be interesting to see how this stacks up. I'd have a lot of heartache paying $500 tho. |

You can get banded cash in any denomination. “Half a band” could mean $50, $100, $250, $500, $1000, $2500, or $5000 |

Its also likely who the OP is, he creates stupid posts that he knows will drum up conversation, never shows any proof that he actually owns any of these products, let alone shot with them, makes outrageous claims and then lets them fly. He may not even come back to this thread. Known troll, yet everyone here keeps feeding into his shit. You're right, this is the new tech. |

It's a troll thread from a blatant troll that purposefully trolls the tech forums. Post whatever you want as it no longer matters. |

Sad thing is, I've reported threads like this before where someone is blatantly trolling. I have yet to see any action taken. I genuinely don't know if we have mods in this section anymore. This forum has gone to shit. |

| So, OP here. Im too lazy to quote everyone so im just going to address what I can recall. Yes this thing is 8oz, its heavy and I had issue with a +2 rifle length barrel short stroking. I also have a 14.8 sotmfg that fed completely fine. No FRT, totally forgot as I was busy trying to get it working. How do we post photos from your hard drive so I can deboonk these haters of mine 🤪 |

I’m not upset in the least, I was just genuinely confused as to wtf it meant, and then as someone else pointed out, all denominations come banded. This is where the old man comes out of me. I typically avoid advice from people that use ignorant or the latest trendy slang words when describing things. I envision them as flat billed, white Oakley shade wearing, “bro” types for some reason. Maybe I’m on the spectrum or perhaps my past experiences have taught me to avoid these types of people.  |

All the broccoliheads coming into tech and instead of saying "$500" feeling the need to say "half a band" so they can cosplay their favorite youtube mumble rapper of the week, unfortunately what has come of the tech forums. |

When I built a 27" +3" gas, I had to run a lightweight carrier and pull all the weights out of the buffer to get it to run. 8 oz, counter-reciprocating or no, that's not likely to run w/ rifle +2" in 5.56. |
