CARBINE BUFFER KITS FOR AR-15

CARBINE BUFFER KITS FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

With the popularity of short, pistol-length, AR-style firearms on the market, more of today's AR owners are seeing a phenomenon that occurs on semi-automatic firearms with short gas systems: overgassing. The result of overgassing is increased wear on internal components, as well as increased felt recoil. To address these issues, Aero Precision launched its AR-15 Carbine Buffer Kit.

Several options are available in Aero Precision's Carbine Buffer Kit lineup. Each kit ships with a mil-spec buffer tube machined from 7075-T6 aluminum and features slots for a six-position buttstock. The kits also include a buffer spring, end plate and castle-lock nut. However, where the kits differ is in the weight of the included buffer. The Aero Precision AR-15 Carbine Buffer Kit can be had with a standard buffer spring, a H (Heavy) buffer, an H2 buffer or a heavy H3 buffer, so AR owners can fine-tune their operating system to reduce overgassing.

Buffer weights are 3 ounces, 4 ounces, 4.6 ounces or 5.6 ounces, respectively.

INCLUDES:

  • Mil-Spec 7075-T6 Aluminum Buffer Tube, 6-position
  • Carbine buffer
  • Carbine Buffer spring
  • End plate and lock nut
  • Made in the USA

Good but one issue
The buffer kit is great my only issue is that the end plate and castle lock nut ended up breaking in half when I tightened it. I used the appropriate pressure yet the nut snapped and the end plate actually started to split! I have emailed brownells about this and just waiting for a reply! Brownells was a amazing and fast and the main important part of the buffer is great. Luckily I had a spare of both and maybe I just had a bad batch!
