    DPMS AP4 and buffer

    Been reading that the buffer on the AP4 is too light....is it really necessary to go to a heavier buffer...? I dont know what the long term effects of using a light buffer would be...
    Anyone change their existing setups?

    I know about 7 people who own AP4s. None of them bitch about how they cycle with the factory buffer.

    If you buy an AP4 and don't like the cyclic rate, just drop an email to heavybuffers@gmail.com - Clint can hook you up with a heavier SS buffer that will smooth out the transition and slow down the cyclic rate.

    Same principle as the H2 and H3 buffers in AR15's applies to 308 AR's. Personal preference and all that too...

    thanks guys.....Since I am running heavier reloads I am also concerned about ading stress to the system...


    Would getting a TUBB CWS be a cheaper alternative and effectively doing the same thing?
