Whether you're building a new AR15 from the ground up or just want to upgrade some parts in your existing firearm, one of the most impactful parts is the . This part is what your stock attaches to and helps control the recoil when you fire a shot, as it is weighted and slides along a spring to compress and rebound back, which dampens the felt recoil. Different rifle lengths require different AR15 Recoil Buffers, as carbines, long-range rifles, and short-barreled rifles have different tolerances and react better to heavier or lighter recoil buffers. We have tons of KynSHOT AR15 Recoil Buffers, Aero Precision AR15 Recoil Buffers, ODIN Works AR15 Recoil Buffers, and more for you to choose from, so you can find exactly the right one you need. From heavy tungsten buffers for carbines to smaller, lighter 9mm AR personal defense weapon (PDW) recoil buffers, we have it all. We even offer buffer weights if you are just looking to modify the overall weight of an existing buffer in your rifle. For serious shooters who need the most customization possible, you can even get an adjustable buffer that comes with several weights, letting you test the exact amount that works best for you.
Do Heavier Buffers Reduce Recoil?
Yes, heavier buffers can definitely reduce the felt recoil when you fire your rifle. However, you don't always want the heaviest you can find, as it may not work best for your firearm. For example, if you put a recoil buffer meant for a large caliber rifle in a smaller 9mm PDW, it can make the weapon unwieldy and hard to maneuver with, which defeats the purpose of having a smaller firearm. Instead, you should check buffer weight ranges for your specific rifle and see which one within that range works best for you.
