hollywood Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 This past weekend I aided a friend into a purchase of a new LAR-8 VARMINT. Now he has to wait. The store in Texas ordered it in April this year, so hopefully not to long a wait. Gun show this weekend to help aid in his selection of add on's. I love spending other people money 8). There rodents seem to be many of us RRA people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniky73 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hollywood, The heavy buffer made a big difference. I was having an issue with it double feeding do to the recoil knocking loose another round. It stopped that and my felt recoil went way down. I would say it cut it in half. Hope that helps.

hollywood Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I was contemplating taking my buffer apart and getting some of the tungsten powder and trying it out. Read about that in a thread here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniky73 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hollywood, I usually just remove the buffer and spring after every shoot and clean it out real good with an old 12g bore cleaner. Then use some light CLP in the tube. That is how I learned to do it in the military. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 I would be trying to make it heavier like the "heavy buffers". Reducing recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Did the same thing to all my tubes brother Spaniky. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniky73 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hollywood, Sorry it took me so long to reply but I had to find my old buffer to show the the difference. As you can see Slash's is better constructed and about twice the size and weight. Also it has an anti tilt ring. I would highly suggest it.

Spaniky73 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hollywood, I wish you the best of luck. My heavy buffer is a little over 9.5 ounces compaired to the 5.3 ounce stock one. It seems to work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniky73 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 He didn't do any air brushing.
