OK, went to the range yesterday. I felt there was NO recoil reduction with the buffer in place to my shoulder. That may have been from me cutting to a length that may have been too short?? I did feel like it was acting as a dead blow and absorbing some of the recoil energy, in that I was experiencing more BOB stoppages once again. It MAY have had nothing to do with that? But I just removed it anyway to reduce the prospect. It did stand up to 30 rounds with little deterioration. But I feel like it was all for not. No real advantage.
If at some future date, I get the rifle running at a reasonably reliable cadence, I may try a longer one, just to see what effect it has.
A quick reaction to my statement in first paragraph. It should not be a product to reduce what I feel to my shoulder, but it should be a product to reduce metal on metal battering. It may not translate to any felt recoil to me, but it could provide the beneficial service of keeping the metal parts from beating on each other. Like a shock buff on a 1911. It won't reduce the recoil I feel through my hand and wrist. but it does help keep the dust cover from battering into the frame.
I will approach it again after I resolve the issue with my L4. Or try it out in my .303. That one is running well.Information
