I am putting a Spike's Crusader lower build together and its assembled except for the received extension and buffer etc. I am considering the Spike's kit once its back in stock but I have a question. This kit contains their heavier ST-2 buffer. Is there any real need for that?
Joe Bobs has a reasonably priced kit on their website for $40. Has anyone tried that? Thanks for looking |

Quoted: The a5 is demonstrably superior. Plus powder buffers are considered a gimmick by many. Mil-spec buffers make noise when you shake the gun. Spikes do not. The powder does not fall out and they work as described. I can only speak for these facts. Gimmick or no gimmick, if I were in a situation where stealth was of utmost importance, I'd be in a more advantageous position running a ST-T2. |
