| What happens if you remove the weights from inside the buffer. Will it just cycle faster? Increase recoil? I'm looking to make this build as lihgt as possible, and don't know if this is a good idea or not. |
Don't do it; that weight is there for a reason, specifically slowing down the speed of cycling enough to allow proper operation. With no weight in the buffer, the bolt will have unlocked and be trying to rip the case out of the chamber while it's still expanded into the chamber walls. Hope you like case head separations, broken extractors, and all sorts of other goodness Anyway, the weight is negligible even in a stripped down KISS lightweight build. It'd be like taking your brake discs off your car to save a few pounds

your not talking about that much weight to decrease the reliablity of the weapon a bunch. it may not even function. i would definnitly not go any lighter than a standard carbine buffer, i use h buffers in all my guns, and my sbr's i use h2's. maybe this would work for you?
