[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.
