Just picked up this buffer to ease some of the recoil from my Romanian WASR 10/63 AK-47 a few days ago. Got to test it out at the range along with a few new pieces of hardware I just installed on my rifle. I was admittedly skeptical at first of this piece, but have become quite surprised at how much of a difference it makes in firing my rifle. It's a hardened polymer that fits on the spring retainer and keeps the bolt from slamming back into the rear of the rifle. It takes a good deal of the recoil out of firing the weapon, enough so that my shoulder isn't aching as it did before I installed it. Weapon cycle remain intact so you won't have to worry about your brass failing to fully clear the weapon before another round is chambered. I tested this on normal semi-auto and even bump firing the weapon saw no change in cycle. 300+ rounds of ammunition were fired today (3-4-11) with no FTE's to speak of, and a lighter recoil then I'm used to from this rifle considering it is a 7.62 x 39mm round. Though the buffer comes with no instructions to speak of in the package, youtube will have several video's of how-to install the buffer. Vise grips are the one single tool that is needed for the install and that's basically to remove the spring, and reinstall the spring that's it. Long term review comments will be posted in a few months as to the sturdiness of the product after a duration of 2000+ rounds of firing.


Get this your shoulder will thank you for it!!

This product is well worth the money. It fit with no problems in my century arms AK-74. The rubber is flexible and strong enough to install without too much concern for destroying it. It's also firm enough to feel like it wont break down after a thousand rounds. Installation is a bit of a bear and it comes with no instructions. To install: Remove the spring rod assembly from the top of the receiver. The flat side of the buffer will be toward the front of the rifle. Work it over the end of the rod and spring and then you can spin it down the spring like a screw. Seat it to the back of the arm so the arm fits into the groove on the buffer.

I'm using this buffer in a Bulgarian AK-74 and have noticed no problems whatsoever with cycling - it's as if it weren't even there as far as that aspect is concern. I will also admit that the buffer relieves some of the awful metal clatter that you get with cycling. What I cannot comment on is recoil - being as the AK-74 can already boast a very, very tame recoil, I haven't noticed a bit of relief. That's neither here nor there though.

This is a fine product so far as I can tell. It sure does make me feel better, as much "softer" as it feels when cycling; that metal-on-metal crashing sure did concern me...
