What is the SPIKES TACTICAL - AR-15/M16 CARBINE RECOIL BUFFERS?

Machined aluminum recoil buffer comes in three weights, so you can select the buffer that gives the best combination of recoil control and reliability in your carbine with an M4-type adjustable stock. All have a mil-spec polyurethane bumper, durable hard-anodized finish, and the Spike’s logo. ST-T1 is a standard-weight (3 oz.) buffer filled with low-density tungsten powder (LDTP) that eliminates the noise and shock caused by the hard reciprocating weights found in the original-style factory buffer. Aids in smoother cycling and helps minimize bolt bounce. ST-T2 is filled with high-density tungsten powder (HDTP) for extra weight (4.1 oz.) behind the carrier to reduce cycle rate. Help you stay on target in rapid-fire semi-auto operation and improves controllability in full-auto. ST-T3 gives the most aggressive reduction of felt recoil and bolt bounce with ultra-dense tungsten bar stock weights inside (5.4 oz.) for maximum recoil control in full-auto mode, suppressed weapons, or rifles that suffer from overgassing.

SPECS: Aluminum, hardcoat anodized, black. Polyurethane bumper. 3ј" (8.2cm) long. ST-T1 – 3 oz. (85g) wt.; ST-T2 - 4.1 oz. (117g) wt.; ST-T3 – 5.4 oz. (153g) wt. Fits AR-15 carbines with M4-type collapsible stock only.

Perfect for my 6mm ARC!
I was having gas and recoil issues with a new 6mm ARC I had built. This was the answer. Runs prefect now!

Good to Go 350 Legend
The Spike's T1 with JP Power Polished carbine recoil spring lets the 350 Legend run with any ammo. Shaw upper on Sig P516 lower. The 350 can be a bit finicky with springs and buffers.

perfect for SBRs
works great, beautiful recoil impulse. Must have for shorter barreled ARs. I am running it in a 10.3 URGI. The T2 buffer has tamed down the recoil a detectable bit and should reduce parts wear. I have a law tactical folder installed too and it works great. 10/10 recommend
