USMCbassman Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Which one and why? Does one have an advantage over the other? Or, do you have another recommendation? Initial thought was Slash's Hvy Buffer and Spring, then I came across JP's setup. Once my build is complete it will be primarily used for hunting (if that helps any). I am using a rifle length receiver extension. Thanks I did do a search and not a whole lot came up. I may have searched the wrong terms :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketch Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) I might not follow but what is your finial outcom your looking for? Recoil? If so I have a heavy buffer and has made a difference in felt recoil. Not familiar to jp's silent cap?

darb Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 You may want to look into an adjustable gas block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbasks Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Scs and adjustable gas block. You wont go back. Quiet, soft shooting and love all of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Rifle stock system , I would just use std 308 rifle spring & 308 rifle buffer (DPMS type ) save some $$ . My rifle stocked 308AR has been working fine for a whole lot of years with DPMS components .

NTXshooter Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Second SCS and adjustable gas block. I have never had a problem with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 most people that swap to a heavy buffer do it in a carbine because the 308 buffer is short and light. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but it wouldn't surprise me if a factory rifle buffer weighs about the same as a slash heavy carbine buffer. I run rifle extension on my 308 and never saw any reason to "upgrade" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfalcon07 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I put a SCS and adjustable gas block in my build. Haven't had much of a chance to test it out as I'm still waiting on barrel. I would think the SCS really would shine in suppressed systems, as if you're looking to make it silent, eliminating the "sproing" would not be a bad thing.

shibiwan Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) I'm running a rifle extension and use a 11.2 oz buffer..... Recoil is reduced a ton. Edited December 22, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesfnbond Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 My lr308 with JP's Silent Capture has less recoil then my Stag ar15 with it's factory buffer spring set up. The LR has a PRS stock and a 24 inch bull barrel that helps too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I like to keep things simple, for good reasons. The simpler something is, the less chance it has to fail. Standard buffer, heavy or not, and a standard gas block. Less things to fail, and that can't be argued. Don't complicate $hit with complicated $hit...

kd5zmg Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sorry for my ignorance and a slight hijack all, is the SCS the JP Silent Capture Spring? Also, what adjustable gas block would you use and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Sorry for my ignorance and a slight hijack all, is the SCS the JP Silent Capture Spring? Also, what adjustable gas block would you use and why? Yup, SCS is the silent capture spring. I really like SLR Sentry adjustable gas blocks. It's light-weight, durable, only requires one tool, and there's plenty of anecdotal evidence out there now that shows that they don't lock up after lots of rounds dirty (suppressed). I have one on my AR pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Scs and adjustable gas block. You wont go back. Quiet, soft shooting and love all of mine. so with just the spring and adj block you reduce the recoil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 so with just the spring and adj block you reduce the recoil? The spring just eliminates, or cuts down on, noise. The adjustable gas block cuts the recoil. You adjust the gas down to just what it takes to cycle the rifle. Recoil isn't gonna get any lighter than that, right there. More than that, and it doesn't cycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_Ed Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 How about scs+ slash buffer × adjustable gas block = no recoil? Lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 The SCS is a buffer and spring combo. You can't add Slash buffer too, because of the mechanics of the SCS. If you want the SCS, you get to ditch your buffer, buffer spring and buffer retaining pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 How about scs+ slash buffer × adjustable gas block = no recoil? Lolol Yeah, it works just like all those gas savers you could buy from JC Whitney. I put all that stuff on my car and ended up having to stop every 100 miles or so to drain some gas from the tank so it wouldn't overflow! <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Lol gonna have to see what that scs go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonfalcon07 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 They're a little more than 100 most places. I do really like mine though. Works great; recoil is pretty negligible, and it's smooth and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali_Ed Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Price isn't an issue when comes to a 308 lol. I'm starting to consider it if it's a drastic reduction a recoil. I'm ready it's a heavier set up? Edited February 24, 2015 by Cali_Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
