Hydraulic Buffer....Anyone using them?

[H60sar]

Curious if anyone is using or thinking of replacing there buffer with a Hydraulic Buffer. I found one from Enidine. Hydraulic Buffer .308 AR come in 2.5", 3.25", and for fixed stocks. The website is :

AR-10 Upgrade Rifle Parts

There going for about 100.00 bucks. Sounds like a sweet upgrade if it fits and it works as advertised.

I use the Endine buffer in my Colt LE6920 and love it. I think for an AR10 with larger caliber it would also be a good upgrade. If you plan on getting it you should get it now. Other sites show "Discontinued by Manufacturer" when you pull this up.

Just thought to add this link. This is the very long thread about the Endine in the M&P15 section. It was tested and passed along to several members to get multiple opinions. Ended up pretty favorably.

Are these buffers a band-aid for bottoming out from overgassing or will they reduce recoil on a gun with a tuned adjustable gas block? I like to tune mine to just hold open plus a couple clicks for reliability.

These are designed specifically to address muzzle lift and felt recoil. Have nothing to do with bottoming out from overgassing.

That's a whole different can of worms.
