| i just got my first ar15 last week and i have been looking on here and i noticed that people use a lot of different buffers tubes. what do they do and how does a hydraulic one do compared to a generic and some of your other after market ones compare to a generic ? |
| You're confusing the buffer tube with the actual buffer. The buffer tube is the receiver extension, it's what the buffer and action spring slide into. I don't have any experience with hydraulic buffers, I've never had any issues with traditional weighted buffers. |
|
Traditional carbine buffers have weights inside. They come in standard, H, H2 and H3. Each one has different weights. The hydraulic buffer is full of hydraulic fluid. Read this. |
| The feel of the recoil impulse is improved.I dont use hydraulic buffers as they contain fluid and it scares me to think how it would gum the action up if it broke.I use a 9mm buffer as heavy as a standard rifle buffer and an LMT enhanced carreir that increases dwell time making the system a softer operating one on a carbine and makes chamber pressure almost zero like its 20" brothers full legnth system. |
