Each time you fire your rifle the gas system propels the bolt carrier to the rear very violently, which generates a shock wave that is absorbed by the metal receiver. After a period of time, this repeated pounding causes the action itself to lose its structural integrity. The most notable side effect of this happening is the difficulty you have in controlling the weapon during rapid fire. By installing a Recoil Buffer you totally eliminate the metal to metal impact of the bolt carrier to the receiver and most of the action noise. The Recoil Buffer fits in all Standard and Para rifle configurations, both metric and inch pattern.
Installation takes less than a minute and can be done without any tools.
It's that easy. You will see an outline of the bolt carrier, where it has impacted the receiver. As with all other models of the Recoil Buffer, installation is simple and can be done without any special tools. This contact is required to prevent excessive stress on the roller cam on the side of the bolt. The SKS Recoil Buffer fits in the rear of the top assembly and is made to the exacting tolerances to insure a tight fit.
