Hydraulic Buffer?

[eludethis]

This one ?

AR-15/AR-STYLE .308 JPSCS SILENT CAPTURED SPRING SYSTEM | Brownells

Yes that one but for .223/5.56

 

[BadKarmaZeroSix]

I have the JP polished spring, and will be running it with the Enidine...just havent made it to the range since i got em in...

 

[stavman11]

So this is the AR-Restor buffer
AR-RESTOR? | Brownells



So guys... with the JP Tuned Spring and the Hydro Buffer... this should be a Great Option...

Will Flash Suppressors, or different Ones, effect recoil/Target Acquisition also???

This has me thinking now for sure


I see at least another $110 on AR Toys this week...

If anyone else wants to try out the hydro buffer, just say so in this thread. Stavman has it now.

The conditionals are:

1. You post up your impressions of it in this thread.

2. You pass it on to the next person in line

3. Eventually when all that want to try it out have done so, it comes back to me.

What's the hold up? You have better weather down there We still have snow on the deck.

That's the one. It should (by the sounds of it) work great with the Tuned Spring and a great add-on. The on-going tests should say a lot.

In one of these "hot posts",Grover did some testing with the flash hiders and desided the "plain jane" end cap was the way to go for him. Nothing but the end cap gave best shot groups.

Flash Hinders do no more than spread out the blast/flash and help keep dirt,mud out of the end of the barrel. I never seen one actually hide any flash. No effect on Recoil or Target Acquisition. You'll still have the "normal" muzzel flip.

You might be thinking Muzzel Brake. That will reduce felt recoil some what and cut down on muzzel flip. The brake has a closed bottom,open sides and top. Those direct the gas to the sides,back and out the top. The blast to the sides and back helps cuts the recoil (better on larger bore rifles) and the blast to the top cuts down on muzzel flip,the blast helping to keep the muzzel down. The closed bottom keeps the muzzel blast from blowing debre up from under the muzzel. Some like them. For the 5.56/.223,I have no trouble living with-out either on the smaller bore. Your call though. Some target shooters do love them.

On a side note. It's hard shooting with some one that has a muzzel brake installed. "You" catch the muzzel blast being off to either side. On a 5.56 it's nasty enough. On a 300 Weatherby,you'll get up and move away quick.

Hope this help.

A while back I got the JP tuned/polished spring and a Spikes T2 buffer. Neither did anything to reduce the recoil on my Sport, but the JP spring definitely got rid of the scratchy/raspy sound during cycling.

So how did you BCG like the heavier buffer ? Any FTE or FTF problems ? Lock up on last round ok ?

I bought about the same weight buffer for a back up for my stock,still in use buffers. Gotta have a few spare parts on hand.

I snagged the JP. They are back in stock. "Should be here Friday.

I've been running the JP spring and T2 buffer since I got them. No issues with the action cycling. Everything is working fine with the combo.

Should be one here Friday. The Club had to close down the range here. Kids and 4 wheelers had turned into a mud run with the up and down weather we have been having. Hopefully it'll be open by the time I get back on my feet again.

Please report on this ASAP. I really am thinking about getting it but am hesitant because of the price per performance uncertainty.

 

[stavman11]

My JP Spring and AR-Restor buffer is ordered...

My Carbon 15 AR Liked it sooo much... I figured... whats $112

 

[BHarada]

We are an effective group of enablers here, aren't we?

fwiw, I installed the JP Captured Recoil Buffer a couple weeks ago. The spring tension was a little more than the "blue" sprinco and H2 buffer I had before. However I had no issues with FTF or FTE. It did seem like there was a lot less "sproing" type noise and I had to move the barrel less when reacquiring the next shot. Overall I feel it tightened things up a little.

I was shooting PMC 5.56 Xtac and Independance 5.56. I'm going to try Brown Bear .223 this weekend.

If no one else indicates they want to try out the hydro buffer by Sunday, I'll ask Stavman to send it back to me. I know we have two people who still want to try it, but circumstances are keeping them from it. I can send it out to you guys when you're ready.

 

[eludethis]

Okay what does the M&P 15's stock buffer weigh anyways? I don't have a scale.

I only wish I had range time right now. :/

It's "suppose" to be around 2.9-3 oz.

JP Captured Recoil Buffer.

I installed this in my 20" "Franklin build" after I tried it In my Sport and 15 T. All shot well with zero issues (so far),wear,tare and the test of time will tell. It also was used on another Sport,two RR carbines,couple BM's and another guy that loves his "Kool-Aid". It had a work out today,brand new out of the tube.

It is quieter with a smoother operation,lesser felt recoil is so-so (it has about the same weight buffer & recoil spring as a stock buffer & spring).

Recovery from shot to shot is a bit faster (?)...maybe a little bit.

Great up-grade but nothing to write home about. I am impressed by this Silent Capture Recoil Spring. This part should have been invented years ago and is very well made. There is no "spoon on a cheese grater noise". It didn't make it totally silent,but way better than it was.

The Rifle "feels" smoother in action. No problems on rapid fire. And the mag catch worked 100%.

Very clear and precise instructions.

While suggested, you do not have to remove the weapon's original buffer retainer. A small flatblade screwdriver helps installation and removing it if you keep the buffer retainer. It can be a bit tricky getting it in & out and you have to "dodge" the hammer a titch. I opted and left the retainer in so the buffer wouldn't just free fall out of the tube (the hammer would keep it from completely falling out). It keeps everything where it "should be" with no un-intended oops.. It does fit perfect in the buffer tube. No slop.

It looks re-build-able,but there aren't any parts that I could find. It would also be nice if they had a spring kit to interchange heavier/lighter springs and change the buffer weight up or down.

It's a pricey,VERY well made,nice little toy. If it just holds up and works like it should,I'll be more than happy.

I bought it because I could. It wasn't a need/have to have item. My (or the other's),shooting didn't get any better or any worse. It is a very nice buffer muffler.

Nice! I am adding that to my wish list.

What are the general impressions of the Spikes ST-T2 Buffers ?
I have a Larue AR with a plain H Buffer in it.
Thanks
