[ARCHIVED THREAD] - spikes heavy buffer

Posted: 7/29/2010 11:38:23 AM EDT

Any one have an opinion on spikes ST-T2 Heavy Buffer? I am looking to replace a Tapco buffer (roll pin sliping) on a 14.5 will it be worth it, or make any kind of deference?
thanks.

Sans the fluff, it's no better or worse than any other H buffer.

This biggest difference I noticed is not hearing the weights sliding back and forth like a standard buffer. Not that I really paid much attention to it before. As far as the feel of the recoil, that will be more opinion than anything. I like the Spikes buffers so far. Nothing wrong with standard buffers either .

yeah...replace the Tapco for sure. the Spikes is nice, but IMO it's really no better than any other well made buffer. i do like the no moving weight design, but who knows if it really makes a difference.

I use an H3 in one of my carbines and a Spikes in another. The H3 is very nice and runs fantastic, cuts down a bit on felt recoil as well.

I have a Spikes buffer in my 14.5" carbine. It works well. I like the fact that it is quieter than a normal buffer. Also from an engineering standpoint, the tungsten powder is better than moving weights. Kind of like a dead blow hammer; it just seems more solid.
