Top quality product. Competitive pricing. Fast shipping. Brownells is 1st class all the way.

Hidden Gem
My expectations were low given the sale price, but after inspection everything has changed. This is a high quality buffer likely made by the same name brand manufacturers charging twice as much. The bumper and roll pin are exactly what you are looking for. The coating is durable and uniform inside and out. From my experience the Brownells products have proven themselves to be exceptional quality at a lower price point. This is not the same as buying a cheap product!

Works Great
I bought couple of these because I built two AR pistols with Crane Spec gas ports and I was having cycling issues using the enhanced JP enterprises springs and a Primary Weapons H2 buffer. These buffers and a standard M4 spring solved my issues. The quality is nice and would be good for most standard builds.

Best bang for the buck
Perfectly usable. Decent fit and finish. Its pretty loud, but not the loudest. Considering it's 1/3 or even 1/4 the cost of some big name buffers that are only marginally quieter, I'll buy this one most every time.

Solid USA Product
The buffer feels well made, has a good finish, the aluminum seems solid and tough in that it does not mar and the cap which retains the internal weights is a solid hard rubber.

Rust
Bought 3 to add weights to in order to make H,H2 and H3 buffers. Use them to test and tune the various ARs I have. Popped them open and all 3 had serious rust on the steel weights inside. Over all good product and price, but would recommend cleaning the weights and a very very light coat of inhibitor.
