Buffer Technologies recoil buffers are used to reduce parts wear and recoil of your firearms. These polymer recoil buffers prevent the metal-on-metal impact of a bolt or slide from impacting the frame while firing. They are made from Estane 58130, which is not affected by common firearm cleaners, making them last for hundreds of rounds.

The Mini-14/30 Recoil Buffer works by eliminating the op rod contact with the receiver. It will protect your operating rod, the weak link in the system, from excessive shock. With a Recoil Buffer installed you'll have less felt recoil, more muzzle stability, less action noise, and will extend the service life of your weapon.

The Mini-14/30 Recoil Buffer fits onto the recoil spring guide rod.  Installation is simple and can be done without any special tools.

The Mini-14/30 Recoil Buffer does not end the metal to metal contact of the bolt to receiver. For a Mini-14/30 to operate reliably, the bolt must impact the receiver with each firing of the weapon. This contact is required to prevent excessive stress on the roller cam on the side of the bolt.
