sks recoil buffer

[emmab]

Hello could anyone tell me the benefits of installing the buffer? I don't have one and would be interested to hear what the difference is with and without one. The recoil and clang of the bolt doesn't seem to be much of a problem. I suppose it might reduce wandering on a cover mount scope. Thanks Pete

Less metal to metal wear from what I hear.
I'm gonna get an SKS soon, so I'm also asking around

suposed to reduce recoil by cushoing the bolt. Never used one on a sks but in my 10/22 it seems okay. Definitely quiets down the cycling too. Elimnates that clack sound when firing.

reduces the stress on your scope if you have one on the reciever cover, other wise just waste of money.

Listen to these guys.I think this is the knowledge centre. Thanks Pete. PS can you get buffers in Canada? http://www.sksboards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1946

Never used one, never had a problem with my two SKS's with scopes. I have more "wander with ammo"

Anyone evre wear out an SKS? :?

like everyone has said, it reduces the metal on metal contact when the sks recoils. Installing the buffer ''supposedly'' extends the life of the gun but it does definately quiet down the action. I dont know if it will affect your scope though....

Like the fellow said"has anybody ever worn out thier SKS?"

I had a buffer on & noticed no difference with or without. As for anyone wearing out an sks, I am sure trying!

Buffer

I have shot my SKS with and without a buffer .I cant tell the differance . I keep one in just because the metal parts have an easer time when you pull the trigger .
