BROWNELLS AR-15/M16 OFFSET RECOIL BUFFER RETAINER

Introducing the Brownells Offset Buffer Retainer - a solution designed to enhance the reliability and longevity of your AR-15's performance during the firing cycle.

A common issue for AR-15 builds is a gap between the bolt carrier and recoil buffer. If you’ve ever seen “chatter” marks on a buffer, that is indication there is a gap when the firearm is assembled. This problematic gap between the carrier and buffer leads to the buffer retainer impacted the buffer on every firing cycle, making the chatter marks. This may also mean the bolt carrier is travelling without spring resistance for a short period, or is not getting the full force of the spring to go into battery or to prevent bolt bounce.

This “offset” buffer retainer offsets the retention tab forward, allowing the recoil buffer to protrude further forward into the receiver, making full contact with the bolt carrier. Installation is simple, with it being installed much like a standard buffer retainer. The recoil buffer will orient the buffer retainer in the forward position.

Machined from 4130 steel and finished with a black oxide finish, the offset buffer retainer will resist corrosion and hold up to intense firing cycles.
