AK buffers are a fix to a non-existant problem. AKs have been used for decades around the world without them.

Don't need no stinkin' buffer.

The Blackjack is easier to install.

Unless it is a model bulked up well in excess of the intended design, possibly running heavy loads in a 54r PSL or a 12ga, buffers are a 110% waste (in my bestest ETH modesty of course).

some of them increase recoil felt to your face, but at the same time may stop wear from the carrier....
that's debated though. |

I voted buffer tech, I only have used one though so i cant really comment on the others. I installed one on an AMD65 i built, the carrier kept pushing up and out when it was retracted, the buffer fixed that problem. Honestly though, my buddy has an amd65 and when i shoot the two side by side i can tell a mild recoil loss with mine, so they do work. Is it needed? No, does it enhance? No. But it does cut the recoil a little which is always a plus. McM

Unless fixing the specific problem on a build where the bolt carrier locks back because it's popping up (opening in rails too long) I would not use a buffer. That's my 2¢
YMMV..........they sure sell a hell a lot of 'em!

the AK already comes with a buffer, it's called a recoil spring

I use a buffer in all of my "shooter" AKs. Not absolutely necessary but it definately does cut quite a bit of the action noise and maybe some wear and tear - a good thing
 . I've never seen a buffer induced FTF and I've shot over 75k total through maybe 20 different AKs wearing buffers. I'll continue using them unless/until I see some drawback. It's pretty cheap to try one and form your own opinion.My preference is BlackJack greens. s & p |

There's no proof that a buffer can reduce wear and tear, there's a AK video on the internet somewhere that shows a full auto AK being fired without it's top cover in slow motion. You can clearly see that the bolt carrier never actually touches the rear trunnion during cycling. Plus, I'm not sure if the action noise really matters when a 7.62x39 is going off

Very true.....I remember the video was subtitled in German? |

Actually it hit something like 4 out of 10 times ...  Still, AK's weren't designed to use a buffer so it's kinda individual choice ...

The buffer sends the bolt home too fast. Could accelerate wear of locking lugs???? YMMV.
No steenkin buffers for me. |
