I have never taken one apart & am wondering about how would I add weight to a buffer?
Is it as simple as pushing out the rollpin and dropping in some bird shot? Cast a proper sized slug? Or would I have to use something heavier than lead? This is going to tie with the .458 bbl I'm trying to order. They say to use a heavier buffer to help slow things down a bit & I'm wondering if this can be a DYI project too. Thanks, MLG |

Tungsten about as heavy as you can get.

Marty designed the 458S to function with the standard buffer and spring.
If you want to slow things down a bit yes, a heavier buffer would help. personally I run my RRA 458S upper on an Oly lower equipped with a Ace Skeleton stock using standard rifle buffer and spring, it functions perfectly. |
