MaineMan2 Posted September 22, 2022 Report Share Posted September 22, 2022 Ian just uploaded a great video on Forgotten Weapons that answers this question. The most fascinating thing to me is that originally the bolt carrier was really long and included what is now a separate part - the buffer. This confirms my thoughts that it is the combined weight of the BCG and the buffer that matters. (Please ignore the optical distortion in the pic.)

98Z5V Posted September 23, 2022 Report Share Posted September 23, 2022 The buffer is the dead-blow hammer that you need to thank yourself for, when you DON'T have bolt-bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
