the product in the thread I mentioned was, in fact, a buffer.

Don’t take me too seriously. It was just an observation of semantics, and the way the group reacts to certain word choices. Different users also sometimes get different reactions.

I can go either way on most of these products that smooth the recoil impulse, or reduce it. I’ve been shooting a BRT 14” Optimum with an A5H2 lately and love it. Its my favorite rifle right now.

Most of us would benefit from more ammo and dry fire more than we would from shuffling buffers.
