Details:
You just love your new AR-10 carbine, so why do you want to wear it out too soon? That’s what you're doing when you leave the factory buffer in it. You need to switch to a Kaw Valley AR10 .308 heavy buffer so your new baby will last longer and you can enjoy it.
Over-Gassed Means Overused
The action on most AR-10s is severely over-gassed and comes with a factory buffer that is just too light to do the job. You need a KVP .308 heavy buffer so your AR-10 carbine can take a breather between rounds, even for a millisecond. A .308 heavy buffer will give your weapon that millisecond to rest. Therefore, all of the internal parts will take less abuse and live to fight another day. An AR-10 carbine buffer with tungsten weight slows the action's dwell time ever so slightly. You get to experience less felt recoil, and your weapon gets a little break.
High Performance, High Quality Yet Affordable
Kaw Valley Precision machines their heavy buffer body from stainless steel right here in America. KVP turns out every AR10 heavy buffer to exacting standards, and you should demand no less. You watch what you put into your body, and you should watch which .308 buffer you feed your AR-10. When you think top of the line, you think stainless steel, tungsten carbide, you think Kaw Valley Precision. That’s what they think when they choose materials for your new .308 heavy buffer. However, at KVP, they also think about efficiency; therefore, they keep costs to a minimum. That means you can enjoy your new AR-10 buffer for much less than you think.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does a .308 Heavy Buffer Work?
A heavy buffer adds weight to the recoil system, and this results in a delay of the opening of the action. In return, the bolt carrier group is slowed, and it absorbs kinetic energy, which is why the shooter feels less recoil.
What Happens If the Buffer Is Too Heavy?
It rarely happens, but if your AR-10 carbine buffer weight becomes too much, your rifle could short stroke and fail to feed or extract.
Why Are Heavier Buffers Better?
Heavier buffers are not better by default, but they’re better for recoil because it takes more energy to move a heavier buffer back, and therefore, you, the shooter, feel less recoil.
