Buffer Technologies AK/Valmet/Gailil Recoil Buffer

The AK/Valmet Recoil Buffer™ fits on the recoil spring guide rod of any Kalashnikov style weapon. This includes AKs, Valmets, Galils, Vepr, and MAK 90s, just to name a few. Installation takes less than a minute and can be done without any special tools. What makes the kalashnikov action so reliable, is also what causes its inevitable downfall, the violent manner in which it works. 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 is the difficulty one has 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.

Those whose who install Recoil Buffers™ into their AK's will not only be protecting their investment by prolonging its service life, but they will also find that the recoil is reduced and muzzle stability is increased. In fact, Recoil Buffers™ can do this for any gun! They work so well that many people believe they should be installed in all guns by their manufacturers. Unfortunately, this is not yet the case. So, until that time comes, make sure your weapon functions as well as it possibly can!

What Is A Recoil Buffer?? What Can It Do For Your Gun?

A Recoil Buffer is a product designed by Buffer Technologies to cushion the trauma your bolt and receiver experience during normal cartridge discharge.

Each carefully designed buffer is made from a polyurethane with specific shock-absorbing properties. When it is placed between the bolt and what it slams against at the extreme range of its travel, the buffer acts as a gentle cushion. Without the buffer, the bolt is driven backwards to make direct violent contact with another piece of steel. In time, this pounding takes its toll. The gun becomes less accurate and the action becomes dangerously loose.
