AK's don't have a buffer or a buffer tube.
They have a big ass recoil spring that returns the bolt to battery.

Are you referring to Black jack buffers?



These are the only thing available as far as I know, and yes they do work to dampen recoil and wear.

No buffer involved in that system.

An answer to a question that never existed. The AK is just fine, if recoil is a problem, get an AK74, lighter pulse than the AR and a round that is very much like the .223

If you had a buffer & spring in there, it would possible, kinda like those recoil dampening stocks that you can get for shotguns. But I don't know for sure................

I have seen a product that allows an AK to be fitted with an AR collapsible stock, but the tube itself is also a buffer. It's two pieces of tubing, that lock together with lugs, and there is a spring inside that holds tension on the lugs to hold it together. Upon firing, this tube compresses like a shock in a car, then the spring returns it to it's normal position. It's interesting, but I'm not a fan of the AR type stocks on AKs and I think it's unnecessary unless you're planing on launching grenades off your rifle.

Try TheTic00 om The EE o, ZAHAL.com they both have AR type buffer tubes for the AK that are "Shock absorbing". I have actually have one does reduce felt recoil quite a bit. I am actually selling mine so feel free to message or email me mine includes a stock.
