I cannot believe my luck or these are POS.
I broke one that was in a piston gun on a F/A lower. Well guess what, got the replacement and have been running it on the DI 5.45 upper. Fucking thing shit itself again, probably around 2800 rounds. While Enidine stood behind their product the 1st time, the second failing leads me to believe its just a shit product. Oh BTW anyone who says if it breaks my gun will still run=FOS. Stopped the gun dead in its tracks Latest failure and a shitty pic 
earlier failure 
Note they failed in the same place |

Are you sure you are running the correct buffer for your configuration? What would you suggest I run for a a 10" SBR on F/A in a carbine gas system with a bolt bounce problem? Maybe one made of solid tungsten. 
Its not solid, but its mostly tungsten, still doesn't work, need the articulation of the enidine |

Just run a heavy buffer and call it a day?!? Simple works... yup. I've seen 3 of those style buffers break like that. While that is true, the bolt bounce problem forced me to the hydro buffer The hydro buffer is a band-aid fix for bolt bounce. Fix the problem instead of masking it. |

Bolt bounce is when the bolt bounces back when trying to go into battery. 87Gn has some videos about it. It should be called carrier bounce. The carrier slams into the barrel extension, bounces back a fraction of an inch - just enough that in full auto it prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin hard enough to ignite the primer. I mention in full auto because the carrier trips the auto sear. Odds are slim someone is pulling the trigger fast enough in semi auto for this to be a problem. too much gas is the problem. New barrel with gas port drilled too big, old barrel with gas port eroded, out of spec/tight chamber |

I run my M16 2 ways. Shooting crap ammo and its an H2 which cycles and gives me 750 to 800 rpm, I use an MGI rate reducer when shooting decent ammo and still get the same ROF. 11.5" gun with or without the HALO. I have zero issues..
I decided Enidine was junk before I broke one... |

| Someone should design the product so that it will function with an overgassed gas system or eroded gas hole..I dont know why more thought on how certain functions that can be hard on parts isnt addressed to make the part work no matter what.So although ultimately it may not be the buffers problem the buffer for that price should be made to take it no matter what.I have heard of enedine buffers failing with less of a round count on other rifles.Maybe a heavy anti tilt buffer used in piston systems may help by having more stable contact with the carrier. |

Llike bigbore said, you have a gas problem, not a buffer problem. Fix what's wrong. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I didn't post this to get help. I posted to show what can happen to a enidine buffer. I have 10" barrel with the longest gas system available, (custom) with the gas port the smallest it can possibly go and still cycle a round. The bolt bounce problem still exist, Its also present on a Tok upper and that thing is defiantly not over gassed. So no matter what most think sitting behind the computer, the eneidine buffer was working to fix the problem of shooting a round not designed for the AR series. The enidine is a lot cheaper fix for a range upper on a F/A lower than buying a custom upper with gas block-that's not the point. Again I will fix the blaster upper/range toy when I burn it up, this post was not a "help me" post but a information only and the second post was made in jest, to highlight he fact that most will post a fix, without understanding the problem or have full information available. |

I apologize for attempting to help. You should probably in the future address the actual problem instead of complaining that your band aid fix failed. Some of us know what we're talking about. You aren't the only person here who has had an over-gassed short barrel F/A. The fix is less gas, not more buffer. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
