fastluck13 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Let's say, hypothetically, a guy has a gun with a Kaw Valley buffer. Travel is already limited just past the bolt catch. If the hypothetical guy isn't concerned with bolt hold back, is there a reason not to limit travel a little more? The bolt face is traveling well past the ejector and mag. Link to comment
Patrick Scott Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 It can be done, Ive done it and I know at least one other person that has done it. Worked pretty well, but I like being able to lock the gun back for malfunctions and it makes putting the flag in easier. Just make sure it travels far enough to get the hammer to cock and catch on the disconnector. Link to comment
fastluck13 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 good points on locking back for malfunctions & flag Link to comment
mike4045 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I use a bad lever to handle lock back. I swapped to a 308 spring to help limit travel. Link to comment

BAD lever isn't going to help when limiting travel like what is being discussed and buffer springs don't limit travel unless you have a setup where the spring goes solid. If you are doing that, that's not good. Link to comment
mike4045 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The spring is keeping from bottoming out. No crash when it comes back. Link to comment

It may(maybe) soften the blow of the buffer hitting the end of the buffer tube, but it does not limit travel as you previously stated. Link to comment
1911luvr Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The spring is keeping from bottoming out. No crash when it comes back. It shouldn't bottom out in the first place, but I'd be willing to bet it is slamming closed pretty hard with that spring. You'll see the red dot bounce a lot more with it if it is.

Shooter212 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I limit the travel of mine so it barely moves enough to function. I think it made a big difference in the movement of my dot. Mostly when returning it doesn't hit the barrel nearly as hard. Link to comment
bwikel Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 The cons on limiting the travel is as stated the bolt won't lock back and when you tune the travel to a load you stand the risk of not resetting the trigger if you experience a slightly underpowered load. Link to comment
troupe Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 bmiller on here is making some great 3-D parts for the PCC. He makes a buffer stop that really is nice and not very expensive. I have one and really like it. It limits travel , but it still lets my rifle lock back. Contact bmiller and tell him Tommy Roupe told you about it. He is a great guy to deal with.

photoracer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I don't know. I use the MVB 9mm type SMG type stock and it comes with a short buffer tube, buffer, and a double buffer spring setup. It works is all I know. Link to comment

Bamboo Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Bmiller responds to private messaging. Very nice guy and I use a couple of his products. For limiting pcc bolt travel I use these: https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/New_Frontier_Armory_9MM_40S_W_Buffer_Spacer_p/nfa-9mmbufferspacer.htm Works great, super light, and doesn't preload the spring.

troupe Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) I don't know how you search bmiller, I am kind of computer dumb. Email Brian at this email, Deanna <dandbmiller@hotmail.com>; I figured this much out, tell Brian that you talked to Tommy Roupe about his printed parts. Hope it helps.
