recoil buffers
- Thread starter Major Mike
- Start date
Got one from fabsorts(don't carry any at this time). Works great. Is it worth it, well that is something you need to figure out.
I think so but then again I don't have an arsenal to refurbish my rifle if I do ware it out.
What is cheaper $7 or $200+ for a new rifle?
Frontier firearms carried it but sold out at the moment.

I think the jury is still out on recoil buffers for the SKS. Do they work or not.
For me I use the Buffer tech and BlackJack buffer together. The reason I do is I use rather inexpensive....OK cheap optics. Those cheap optic have been working great for a long time now. Is it the buffers...who knows.

Personally I scoped out my SKS and finished they job before my recoil buffer came in so I didn't install it. I have not seen any difference.
They do sweet F all for recoil but they do tighten up you groups nicely. Due to the fact that your recoil spring system stay's in the same place there for your bolt repeats the same cycle over &over again. Thus achieving accuracy threw repeatability. Now if your just shooting this rifle iron sight or with a red dot who cares. But if you are going to be using it for varmint control get it.
Satain's correct in his observation re groups. Goy mine from Brownell's when ordering a bunch of other stuff and installed it a few days ago. Yesterday took to the range and saw no diff in recoil but a tightening of groups. Doesn't make no tack driver but does offer an improvement.

I def wanna pick one of this up and I think pairing it with a muzzle break is a good combo.
s for all the responses to my query guys. Cheap enough that I will pick up a couple for my friends & myself. Regards Mike

Wow... maybe I will see about putting it on... I mean I rip the bullesye at 100 yards already, but with this recoil buffer? Hmmmm.

My muzzle break, for the record, has not had any effect on accuracy. It is an NcStar clamp/bolt on type of deal.
Are they supposed to effect recoil? I thought they were simply supposed to stop the bolt carrier from slamming into the receiver cover, stopping metal on metal contact. Because ya know...I'm sure thats gonna break the receiver cover
Good to know that they tighten up groups a bit though, out of all the crap I just bought for my SKS, the bolt buffer was the only thing I couldn't find...of course. I'll have to snag one from frontier when they get em in.
I have one on my SKS,,,from SKSMan for like 10 bucks,,,,I think they definitely make a difference,,,you don't feel/hear that noise of the spring banging off of the bolt cover. Not sure about accuracy,,,For the price their worth throwing one on.

The blackjack buffers are supposed to be better but hard to find someone to ship one up here now. The others work fine. I don't think they make a real difference except reduce the amount of carnage done to your reciever cover after 50 000 shots.
COMRADES! SKS is battle rifle designed by good Soviet weapon designer Comrade Simonov! Is proven killer of fascist Hitlerite beasts and imperialist invaders in stock configuration! Is ridiculously overbuilt! Made for glorious combat against enemies of Mother Russia and maintenance by illiterate Soviet peasant conscri..., er, volunteers and Third World freedom fighters! SKS does not need decadent revisionist bourgeois devices like these "recoil buffers"! Spend money on vodka and ammunition instead!
