The
AK/Valmet Recoil Buffer fits on the recoil spring guide rod
of any Kalashnikov style weapon. This includes AKs, Valmets,
Galils, 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 wavethat 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.
Do
they really work? - We
have them in all of our AK's and have noticed a slightly
smoother action. Several people have had problems with various
AK's that had a vibration in the trigger that caused them pain
after 50 shots (trigger snap). After installing the buffer, it
stopped the vibration. If
you have an AK that locks up at the fully rearward position
like the bolt carrier wants to pop out, installing a buffer
will fix it. For $15.00 a piece it is the cheapest
insurance you will ever buy for your gun.
