Does anyone use a shock buffer on their AK or is it just another gimmick? I do use accu wedge's on my AR's but it purpose is to eliminate play between the Upper and Lower.

It is not needed, some guys will toss one in on a gun that has a carrier that jumps the rails...but that is a problem all its own.  MTK did not design it with a buffer!  If your carrier is smacking the rear trunnion this is not a fix either!  But hey what do I know, I bought my 1st AK in 1989....

AK buffers serve the same purpose as the accu-wedge in an AR15.

I think his point is that they're both useless. Not that they both perform the same function.

I'm guessing the purpose he speaks of is the one referred to as "separating a fool from his money."

Thanks fellows. I saw a add for one and had never heard of anyone using them so I kinda thought it was a gimmick.

Buffers perform exactly as intended.
Unfortunately, they are intended to separate you from your money.

I put a buffer in my SAR 1 when I first got it and all it did was short stroke ...

My rifle worked great until I put a buffer into it...then it had problems.  I took the buffer out and it worked great again.  I took the buffer and thru it into the trash at the range.
They are NOT needed.

they are stupid pieces of trash, quit putting that shit in your guns--AKs, 1911s, etc; they re a waste of cash, tend to break and render your guns inoperable, and dont serve a legitimate unilitarian purpose
