At 4.0 oz, this buffer is ideal for optimizing the cycling of your firearm while maintaining reliability and performance, particularly with 5.56 NATO caliber builds. You'll often find this buffer in setups aimed at achieving a balance between recoil control and dependable ammunition performance.

It was hard to find in September 2026, in stock on only 1 of the 13 days we checked, and today the one retailer we track is out of stock. Prices barely moved in September 2026, holding around $36, so there haven't been real sales lately. Listed prices start at $36 at Primary Arms for when it comes back.
