Solid product, Great value
Converted my PSA 308 AR rifle from a carbine to rifle length buffer system with a Magpul PRS stock. Used the Brownells receiver extension tube and the fit and function has been flawless.

Worked great in PSA PA10 a2 conversion
The great thing about rifle buffers is, there is only on weight, if it fits, it works. This worked fine in the Mossberg a2 stock tube, but I needed a 308 buffer that was shorted to cycle the action. Brownells is always a go-to for everything, and their price was lower than anywhere.

Well, its a buffer.
Used this on swapping out carbine stock, tube, spring, and buffer for a rifle stock on my gen 2 PA-10. Ya, its a buffer and it works like its suppose too. With like zero standards for AR-10/AR-308 it always feels like a roll of the dice. But I can say if you need a rifle length buffer for a Palmeto PA-10 this one works.

Did not work for me and my rifle
Probably a great product, but did not work for me and my rifle. My rig - DPMS style upper/lower - Aero M5 barrel - 20" BA .308 rifle length gas BCG - lantac 308 E-BCG rifle length receiver extension DPMS (F1003029) and rifle spring (F1001416) ran different mags and 168gr SMK rifle did not cycle right - short stroke The reason was - too long buffer and did not let bcg all the way back, passing bolt catch. Tested others, such as VLTOR A5-2(AR-15), VLTOR A5-4(AR-15), Spike ST-2(AR-15) and Geissele H-1 and Geissele H-2. Ran perfectly.
