| Hey guys are these worth the extra cash...I have a 6.5 Grendel that could possibly use it...it does jump a little bit when fired so follow up shots aren't near as quick...and would like to keep from beating up the optics if I can...will this help with the spring rattle thats going on in the stock...and does anyone know if it will fit the Magpul PRS...I assume it will due to them saying it will replace the A2 buffer tube... |

I recently sent my Colt to JP Enterprises for accurizing, adjustable gas block, FF, JP trigger, ACE Skeleton stock, and to top it off they installed an Olympic Air Buffer. This buffer made the greatest difference of anything I had done. 1. Softer recoil and no spring noise ( I hated that ). Charging also takes less effort. I think the key to this Air Buffer is the adjustable gas block. I love the way the rifle shoots and feels with out the shock and spring noise. Jerry |

I haven't used one, sorry. I do know that there are two other non-standard buffer types that you might consider; one is the Olympic AC4 pneumatic buffer (replaces spring and buffer, no spring boing, which would be nice - requires full-length buffer tube), the other is the MGI Rate/Recoil Reducing Buffer, which has sliding weights in it. Apparently that one works well, but is a lot more expensive. So now you have even more questions and fewer answers, I'm sorry... |

I have an Enidine carbine sized buffer in my RRA Elite CAR A4 middy that I'm very pleased with. I have a 12x scope on it and wanted to quiet down the muzzle jump so that I could see my hits on our steel targets with a 12x magnification and a 44mm front optic. With the std buffer, the recoil was mild but the muzzle would move enough so that the impact point would be out of the FOV. I'm happy to say that with the Enidine, I'm able now to see my hits when shooting from a bag. Your's might even reduce the recoil a bit. My AR didn't have any recoil to begin with so I don't see any real improvement. |
| I have just bought my second Enidine. My 223s never really had kick so I cant tell you what it may have done overall. But I never realized I felt the buffer hitting the rear of the tube until I tried the enidine and didnt feel it any more. It is a noticable feel, to me that means something must be working. As a side note: I considered the sliding weight rate reducer for my FA but I dont like the idea of it being a whole lot like a dead blow hammer on the shoulder. I would love to hear more about that from someone who has tried it. In short I am guessing yes, try an Enidine buffer, the recoil may still be there but it may reduce its "felt" shock into the shoulder. |
