308kiwi Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hey guys, I know this is a 'non brand specific' section but I couldn’t figure were else to post this query. I just received my new Slash's XH 308 rifle length buffer along with the matched spring that they supply, it looks the goods, no doubt, but I was surprised to see that it is solid, IE no sliding weights in it, I'm sure some of you guys will be running these, is there any issue with bolt bounce running this buffer without the reciprocating weights? or is it in combo with the correct spring heavy enough to stop this happening. I'm not concerned about bolt bounce in FA as the rifle is and always will be semi, but I don't want the thing going into battery then trying to momentarily unlock every time it cycles. Cheers for any input :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Clint knows his stuff & if its solid , he has made it that way on purpose . You should have no issues with his products . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have the rifle size version in my AR-10, never experienced an issue and I like to shoot fast and often. You should have no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I have the 10 oz version in mine. The heavens open, and angels sing, every time I pull the trigger. Despite what Clint says, I still use a Tubb flat wire spring. Clint supplies Armalite AR-10 springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't shoot enough to wear out one in a monkeys lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtallen83 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Another vote for the Tubb's spring. I don't have one paired with a heavy buffer yet but do run one in a 300BO and one in a 308 AR carbine and have had good results, another benefit besides the long life and extra lock time is how quiet they are compared to standard springs.
