| has anyone ever taken the weights out of a carbine buffer and filled it with melted lead. i did mine last night and was wondering if it will work. i will weigh it and post here later on how much it weighs. it s the one part i did not have for my 9mm yet and hated paying for another buffer so i tried it. |

What buffer did you start with? I bought a Slash 9Q buffer which is longer and heavier than the 223 buffer. Seems to me a proper length buffer will keep the bolt from slamming back and breaking stuff, proper weight would absorb some of the recoil, and the right spring will allow it to all work together. But what do I know I'm still waiting for a lower, mine is just a pile of parts right now. Those with experience please set us straight! |
If you add weight to the 9mm buffer you will break the bolt catch a lot faster than if you left it alone. The Q-Buffer is heavier and longer the added length stops the ramming of the bolt to the bolt catch. So like i said adding weight to the stock 9mm buffer is not a good idea unless you add a spacer in the tube to stop the buffer from ramming into the bolt catch.Mike |
Get a Q-Buffer it is more than twice the weight that you have now and is longer. The weight does not have to move unless you are shooting full auto.Mike |
