shot my rra today just a couple rounds, took it back in, checked chamber and noticed that when i pulled the charging handle back, i could hear and really feel the spring in the buffer tube, it wasnt normal, so i removed the buffer spring and buffer, and found the roll pin on the buffer was worked up a little causing it to catch on the spring when it is moved, so i used a small hammer and tapped it in flush, and prob was fixed, but one thing i noticed is that there is something that back and forth in the actual buffer, and when assembled when u tip the gun up and down u can here it in there moving back and forth, ive never noticed this before, is this normal or do i need to look into getting another buffer. thanks for any responses in advance.
thanks

That's what makes it a buffer.

There are weights inside that affect enertia.

cool thats all i really needed to know, im a ar 15 newb, i still cant fiqure out why the roll pin came out a little like that, cuz its nice and tight, may have been left out a little when it came from factory and caught a couple times and movved it up and out a little causing it to catch., once again thanks for the help.

thanks

No prob!

Just keep an eye on that pin...if it works out again, contact the mfr. for a replacement.
Even if they aren't being cooperative, buffers are pretty cheap.

Enjoy your new rifle!
