Overview
The Yankee Hill Machine 9mm Bolt Buffer (YHM-925-A) is designed as a buffer-only assembly that complements Mil-Spec carbine buffer tubes. It provides the necessary weight and dampening to optimize the cycling of a blowback-operated system, making it essential for reliable function in 9mm AR builds. While primarily used in 9mm configurations, this buffer is often found in builds utilizing a carbine gas system and chambered for 5.56 NATO, ensuring compatibility across various applications.
