    Might be nice for a while, but mine broke in under 1000 rounds.

    Totally shitcan the spikes buffer. It brought me nothing but headache.

    Regular buffers work fine just fine. You might need to experiment between car through h-2, maybe play with the springs.

    Nothing good comes easy. The reason I stay with mil spec is simple... You can diagnose problems quicker with them than other parts. Simple. I need that.

    You might want to consider changing the title of this thread, since the BCM upper would be the last part to cause the failures you are experiencing.

    =========================================

    GunTotinRedneck,
    Just curious, how could you "recommend" a hydraulic buffer to a member here when you have absolutely no experience with one what-so-ever!!

    This site has standards about having hands-on experience when making recommendations and doesn't tolerate posters acting like they know what they're talking about, when in fact they're simply "talking through their buttocks".
    This isn't your first "incident" in your 24-hour posting frenzy...Know what I mean?

    Please "read more and post way, way, way, way less" and if that is disagreeable, then just go be a blowhard somewhere else.

    But maybe it's just me...

    I know that I am going to get spanked for this post but I don't think I need to prove myself here.....

    I have found that the Spike's St-T2 buffer and a Wolf XP spring shoots the smoothest in my BCM 14.5 Middy. I have a pinned AAC Breakout on the muzzle. Granted, my rifle will not lock back on most Wolf, Remington and other lighter shooting ammo. I try to use the IMI 193 or other hotter 5.56 loads.

    This all goes back to using good ammo in good guns.

    Or just use a normal buffer (H) that the gun was meant to be used with. The mindset at M4C is that you don't recommend products you don't have experience with.

    Makes sense, doesn't it?

    The Enidine/Brownells hydraulic buffer was recommended to me by two guys I know at the range I go to. I'll shut my yap now.

    Then your range needs to shoot more or I need a good one from the company. My experience is one of one(witch is none).

    So I'm going to say, again, is what I said in the first place((check post I posted before).

    Why add another moving part to your rifle that can break when all you need to do is change the buffer weight?

    In semi, maybe. I like to give most things the benefit of the doubt.
