Around 96-97, Colt made a number of changes to their civilian rifles as a cost-saving measure. Plastic buffers, plastic trap-doors on A2 stocks, and the lack of chrome-lining in the bores all occured at this time.

The are a metal and polymer buffer which seems to work fine. The nylon KAC seems to work also.
