Good hydraulic buffer for a RRA MID-LENGHT LAR-8 .308 16” A4 carbine?

[Crazyhern]

I am looking to replace my factory buffer for a hydraulic buffer on my RRA LAR-8 .308 mid-length 16” A4 carbine. Can anyone suggest a good replacement? I am trying to minimize recoil.

A muzzle brake will do more for recoil than a fancy buffer that doesn't work well on these large frame guns.

If you want a replacement buffer for your RRA, I would go with this one.

Hydraulic buffers haven't enjoyed much success in the large frame ARs, unfortunately. I think it's unlikely anyone would recommend one for anything, but RRA is proprietary in it's design and AFAIK, there aren't any hydraulic buffers out there for it.

"Just say no" to hydraulic buffers.

Thank you guy’s very much, this is very helpful. How about a good muzzle brake?
