Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - advice on 9mm buffer
Posted: 8/20/2006 10:40:48 AM EDT
I am thinking of putting in a 9mm buffer in my current build.  Lower is a lmt with sopmod stock and upper is a 16 inch carbine gas system.

I have heard I should get smoother operation and less stress on some parts.  Is this true???  ANyone have any "downsides" or potential problems I don't see???

Thanks

It may cause your carbine to short stroke on .223 loaded ammo.  I haven't had it happen even with Wolf polymer.

any adverse effects on a middy?  does the gas system matter for heavier buffers?

I run a 9mm buffer on my 16" WOA Midlength.  I've not had any issues.
