PCC Buffer question

[moonshoxx]

Hopefully this is not too dumb of a question but ...... when looking to change buffers on pcc is their a go to buffer system that will surely work assuming minimum power factor is met or is it always trial and error. Thx

Define work.

They all function it's mostly about feel .

Everyone has their opinion on which system feels best to them.

Take a look at the JP silent capture spring, it allows for tuning of the weight and none of that annoying spring in buffer sound. You can even get a short stroke version if that’s what your looking for. Really the only downside is the cost. I’ve had mine for 2 years now and am really liking it.

I think AHI said it well. It's kinda like asking which is better, a Ford or a Chevy.

It also depends on your needs. Are you just a casual plinker shooting slowly or a die hard competitor blasting through a course?

do a search on a Blitzkrieg hydraulic buffer or No Kick hydraulic buffer... .. & depending on your power factor several different weight buffer springs work great..

Check out the Taccom too. I prefer it to my JP.

Mbx, shooting innovation, and blitzkriegs 5150hd are all great. 

 

jp requires a vice, piece of leather and a heating device to change weights.

 

Also when using a jp 5 weight short stroke buffer if you’re using an elf, Ar gold 308 or Ar gold pcc trigger you have to take the trigger group out of the pcc, to take the buffer in or out of the  buffer tube.

Blitz 5150hd , Blitz buffer weight and a JP 308 rifle spring is pretty close to a plug and play. It gets better with short stroking but at that point your technique is going matter more than buffer voodoo.

The JP short stroke silent captured spring in all stainless should run just about anything. I was running 127 power factor without issues with this buffer setup.

+1 to this.

 

I run the same exact setup with 143pf ammo (16" barrel) and the rifle runs great. I'm pretty sure it even ran all the way down to 105pf 147gr when testing different loads and still worked, sluggish but works.
