Title: Recoil Buffer
Post by: EmeraldBullet on December 29, 2015, 02:30:58 PM: Anyone have a recommendation for a good recoil buffer for my sig m716? Also a recommendation for a place to buy it from near Everett or Bellingham would be great as well. One friend suggested the KynSHOT hydraulic buffer, but I don't know much about buffers so any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice. I see Wilson Combat does make a .308 muzzle brake. Stupid beginner question, if I get a .308 or 7.62 brake can I only shoot either .308 or 7.62 (wheres without the brake my m716 can shoot either one with out issue). It's not a deal breaker if I would be limited to one or the other, but I'd have to give it more thought.

The increased noise and dust offsets any benefit to getting back on target IMO. I haven't run a clamp on muzzle break so I can't tell you what to expect as far as usability for other calibers besides .308/7.62. That would be a question to ask somebody like Carpsniper.

Post by: EmeraldBullet on January 20, 2016, 11:35:57 PM: Is there not a big difference in buffers? I guess there probably wouldn't be.

Still considering a brake though and it seems there is a bit of differences in those.
