What Is A Recoil Buffer?? What Can It Do For Your Gun?
A Recoil Buffer is a product designed by Buffer Technologies to cushion the trauma your bolt and receiver experience during normal cartridge discharge.
Each carefully designed buffer is made from a polyurethane with specific shock-absorbing properties. When it is placed between the bolt and what it slams against at the extreme range of its travel, the buffer acts as a gentle cushion. Without the buffer, the bolt is driven backwards to make direct violent contact with another piece of steel. In time, this pounding takes its toll. The gun becomes less accurate and the action becomes dangerously loose.
If you take your guns seriously, there's no good reason not to consider using a Recoil Buffer in all of them! Currently, we provide buffers for the Ruger 10/22, Ruger Mini-14/30, M1A/M14, FN/FAL L1A1, SKS, HK G3/91 93, Model 1911 and clones, MAC-10/11 and all Kalashnikov style weapons - AK/Valmet/Galil.

Quote of The Week
"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat; who strives valiantly; who
errs and may fail again, because there is no effort without error or
shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who does know
the great enthusiasm, the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy
cause; who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.
- Theodore Roosevelt
