Can anyone here give me your opinions on the pneumatic buffers from Olympic arms?

check out this thread. it discusses imo the two best buffers out there on the market. somewhere along the way there was slight discussion about the oly unit.

I can recommend a 9mm buffer or an Enidine buffer. They both lessen recoil, bolt bounce and muzzle climb. The Enidine makes it feel like you're shooting a .22 magnum. I have heard great things about the MGI Rate Reducing Buffer (RRB), but don't have any personal experience with it. I don't know anything about Oly's pneumatic buffer.

The OA unit is rifle only at this point.

I bought one a couple years ago and I thought it was great, but it started leaking oil all over inside my AR after about a hundred rounds. I'm sure Oly will replace it, but I haven't sent it back yet.
