Spaniky73 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I was breaking down my rifle to clean it, when I noticed the buffer retaining pin is bent and will more than likely break if I keep shooting it. Looking on the RRA site at the parts list, they use the same one as the LAR-15. Is there an heavy duty one on the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Pics please, spaniky. <thumbsup>KNS Precision makes a "turned lower parts kit" that has a very high quality buffer retaining pin in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniky73 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sorry I loaned out my buffer tube wrench to a buddy. It is bent about 30deg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 What's the face of your buffer look like, brother? Chewed up around the edges? Looks like the back of the bolt carrier isn't pushing the buffer off that retaining pin, when you close down the upper onto the lower.Check to make sure the carrier does that - pushes the buffer off the retaining pin when the receivers are closing/closed. If it's NOT pushing the buffer off the retaining pin, then you're gonna need a Tubb CWS, which adds 0.080" to the length of the carrier. Pics of the buffer face, next? ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniky73 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 It has marks around it and in putting it back together it feels and looks like it is moving the buffer back just far enough to get off the bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 DAMN!It probably looks like the carrier is pushing the buffer back off that pin now, because the pin is bent so far forward. If the pin was directly perpendicular to the two, I'd bet the carrier wouldn't push the buffer off the pin anymore.You need a new pin, brother, and you need a CWS, whether you use the weights or not, or just the shell. I'm just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 How many rounds you got through the rifle brother? I'll check mine and see what it looks like.Post pic tommorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 There's alot of rounds through that one, and that buffer has taken a beatin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniky73 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have put about 700 rounds through it with that buffer and another 200 with the stock one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Got pics of the 200 rounds on the stock buffer? What's that buffer face look like, brother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniky73 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think that it is clean (I will have to find it). That was the first 200 rounds through the rifle about a year and a half ago. I looked up the Tubb CWS. Is our BCG the same diameter as an AR15? That is all that I have been able to find.

Spaniky73 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I did not read enough of the description. It states that it works in AR10 and SR25 models. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 It'll sure work in the .308 BCGs, brother - same internal diameter. I've got one in my .308. I think we've got this figured out, man. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
