Reduces Bolt & Receiver Wear; Less Felt Recoil

Polymer buffer fits on the bolt spring to reduce bolt slap, felt recoil, and overall wear and tear. Provides a cushion that prevents the bolt from making contact with the receiver to reduce wear on both components. Installs easily over rear of spring assembly; no permanent modifications to rifle required. Good for at least 5,000 firing cycles.

SPECS: Polymer, black. ½" (1.3cm) long, 15⁄16" (2.4cm) wide, 1¼" (3. 2cm) high. Fits all models of AK-47, Mak-90, Galil, and Valmet.

Recoil Buffer (28/03/2013)

This buffer reduced the hammer of metal to metal when the bolt its the bolt stop on AK47s. It greatly reduced the noise and smoothed out the bolt recoil. My guess is it will extend the life of the bolt/bolt stop while making it nicer to shoot.
Takes a bit of effort to install but it's worth it.

fits my Maadi (22/08/2016)

The bolt carrier tailpiece was peening from repeated contact with the rifle and mushrooming. It has just over 3,000 rounds and I guess the heat treatment was not done properly. By comparison, my MAK90 has about the same round count and the tailpiece looks fine. Anyway, I decided to try Brownells recoil buffer and it works great. After a 30 round mag dump I noticed the sharp edges on the tailpiece were grabbing the buffer and pulling it out of place so I stoned the mushroomed material away and everything is fine. Another four magazines to check function and all is well. There were no instructions included with the buffer so make sure you place the buffer with the little rectangular cutout facing the front of the rifle. The tip of the tailpiece goes into that cutout and allows the rear of the bolt carrier to squarely hit the buffer. One more thing....don't just put this thing into your rifle and not do a live fire test. If it's your home defense gun, you don't want any surprises.

Causes problems on my M10 (05/03/2017)

This buffer caused problems on my build, increased felt recoil, and caused three short strokes out of 250 rounds.

On a properly built AK47 this is pointless snake oil. The bolt should never hit the rear trunion on a properly built AK, however if you add this buffer you take up the gap with this piece of plastic and the energy does transfer and you wind up with more felt recoil, in addition it has the potential to cause short stroking which I encountered.

Poor Quality Polymer (27/03/2017)

I used this buffer to Russian Saiga MK / AKM series 103. Is easy to install. Fits, but !!! Warranty is: "Good for at least 5,000 firing cycles". He deteriorated very rapidly. He does not resisted less than 300 cycles. The buffer has low quality.

I bought another from another company. It's all OK.
