Works like a charm!
It’s very easy to install and you can definitely tell the difference in the recoil. Highly recommend!

BUFFER MOD
Works great but remember. If you have a safety with the bolt lock back notch it won't work anymore because the bolt doesn't travel back as far. But, you can shave off a bit (1/8 to 1/4") off the area where the bolt contacts the buffer & then your safety bolt notch will work. Shave then test;shave then test.Don't take off more than you need to. Utility knife or other razor knife.

Causes problems on my M10
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.
