MaDuce Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I pick my receiver up on the 28th. First thing I'm going to buy for it is a muzzle attachment (PWS FSC if I can afford it. After that, I've been thinking about that hydraulic recoil buffer. I am looking to minimize recoil for a couple reasons. 1, easier accuracy and quicker follow up shots. 2, my friend's kids shoot my guns sometimes, and I'd like to make it a "child friendly" gun to shoot. Muzzle attachment softens the original punch but does nothing for the recoiling of the BCG. That's where hydraulic recoil buffer comes in. The videos I've seen appear to be very promising as far as it's effectiveness goes. But I've read some sketchy reviews about it's effect on the gun's reliability, sighting it over shortening the cycling of the action. I would like your opinions on this.

unforgiven Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Do low temps affect hydraulics? <dontknow> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDuce Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have no idea. This is what I am looking at.http://www.buffertech.com/AR-10-AR-Restor-Hydraulic-Recoil-Buffer-Carbine-P221.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 IMHO, you'd be better off going with a couple different courses of action:1) lightened carrier system, and adjustable gas block, or2) carrier weight system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 IMHO, you'd be better off going with a couple different courses of action:1) lightened arrier system, and adjustable gas block, or2) carrier weight system.Good advice, if you'll PM me your info, I'll get a cost of shipping though I'll send you one you can test out for yourself. I ran into reliability problems with mine, but this is a chance to test one for the cost of shipping without being obliged to buy. This offer stands for anyone who wants to test a rifle-length hydraulic AR10 buffer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I MAY end up building a custom fixed rifle butt. If I do, I may customize the set-up to be compatible with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I had one in my rifle. When I changed stocks I had to lose it. It worked fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
