The M1A/M14 Buffer Technologies Recoil Buffer ™. This buffer fits on the recoil spring guide rod of all M1A and M14 based rifles regardless of manufacture. As with all other models of the Recoil Buffer, installation is simple and can be done without any special tools.
The Buffer Technologies M1A/M14 Recoil Buffer differs from others in our line of products, in that it does not end the metal to metal contact of the bolt to receiver. For a M1A/M14 to operate reliably, the bolt must impact the receiver with each firing of the weapon. This contact is required to prevent excessive stress on the roller cam on the side of the bolt. The Buffer Technologies M1A/M14 Recoil Buffer eliminates the metal to metal contact of the operating rod to the front of the receiver. The M1A/M14 Buffer Technologies Recoil Buffer will protect your operating rod, the weak link in the M1A/M14 system, from excessive shock. With the Buffer Technologies M1A/M14 Recoil Buffer installed you have less felt recoil, more muzzle stability, less action noise, and will extend the service life of your weapon.
