Redhunter2486 22 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Researching a few of the buffer tubes on the market for AR weapons and was wondering if there are any designed to greatly reduce/eliminate recoil for higher calibers. I understand the MKA1919 is the only hard kicking AR really, but I have seen AR-10's in .300 Win mag so maybe there's somthing out there I havn't seen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 buffer tubes are not function in the 1919... well the tube is, the buffer isn't Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhunter2486 22 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 What makes you say that, wouldn't reduced recoil allow you to stay more on target for faster follow-up shots?I know a certain amount of recoil Will be needed for the action to correctly work but theres a lot that can be taken out still, when using buckshot and slugs.

Syndicate 812 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) MKA-1919 is not an AR looking like an AR is not an AR. the way the MKA functions is not how you think it is. It is like a remington semi auto shotty looking like an AR makes your gun an AR no less then standing in your garage makes you a car. http://www.bushmaste..._bushmaster.asp make the upper, lower, stock, and handgaurd transparent. or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oHx6qdteFY look at the back of the MKA-1919 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqFiIEA4AkE (don't do the hammer like this guy, hold the bolt so you don't fuck up your plastic feed ramp) the buffer in the MKA wouldn't do anything it doesn't touch the bolt, it CAN'T touch the bolt by it's design Edited August 25, 2012 by Syndicate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 breakdown of it, differences with mka, box mag over tube mag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james lambert 3,059 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Endine makes a buffer tube assembly that reduces felt recoil. It is designed to be used on shotguns that accept AR15 stocks. I have used them on several guns, and they seem to work well. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 yes but they don't work off the same principle, they are a weighted fluid filled tube I would think. what he was asking is if a traditional AR buffer set up would work and what buffer to go with, so I wanted to make sure to address that and make sure he didn't waste his money. I'm glad you provided a viable solution Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 these are good http://graco-corp.com/t/mercury-recoil-reduction-systems have to install it into the tube so the reducer doesn't slide, the mercury will take the recoil then. this is the one I've been thinking of getting for mine actually http://graco-corp.com/products/model-r8 have to mic the tube though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhunter2486 22 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 I understand that the Mka isn't an AR15, I meant more the style of weapon,thanks for explaining though syndicate, Thanks Jim for the tip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 no problem man, I just want to make sure another person doesn't let a gunstore person sell them on an expensive AR buffer and not be able to return it (happened to a buddy of mine with his MKA) if you check the link I posted that one is close to snug in a buffer tube so that's why I want it.

toothandnail 275 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 We debated a while on putting some kind of recoil reducer on the ones we built , in the end went with a limbsaver, very nice shooting. I've been impressed with limbsaver , since my son put one on his 300 win mag , went from shooting 4 shots comfortably to 10-12 , could do more but the $$ start adding up pretty fast.

Syndicate 812 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm going to try that one since I have used one of theirs in a beast kicker over/under featherweight that's my trusty field gun it really tamed the mule Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TZL 0 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 If you convert to a m4 style stock you can run this damped buffer tube http://www.nokick.com/Enidine_Shot_Shock_p/ear-ss.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yes , it should work, We almost put them on ours , finally going with a limbsaver instead. If you get one please report you opinion of how it affects the felt recoil and gun operation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
