I had a long conversation with them and the only thing they were concerned about was if I was using any type of muzzle device? I told them all of the 5.56 I had shot with it , had been shot through uppers with either a AAC Blackout tooth or a Rainier Arms XTC. They kept hinting around that muzzle devices can cause over pressure? I explained to them that mine had crashed, but my brothers was well into 500 plus rounds of Grendel and his is functioning perfectly. All they said is they would inspect it and get back to me. They just wouldn't let the muzzle device subject go. I basically got the feeling they were saying, since I used a muzzle device that it wasn't their fault and they would look at it as a formality. Strange conversation, he mentioned over pressure and muzzle device a bunch during the conversation.

What's that spiral of thin metal? It doesn't look like it was a part of the device. Glad you put in a picture. I'd never heard of an Enidine. I have 5 ARs, in 3 different calibers including a 6.8, and have never had a buffer problem with the standard buffers.
Sounds like the guy you talked to had the standard liberal excuse of "It's always somebody/something else's fault!".

Man that's a bummer. Good to know about what they think. I kinda like the dealership that wants to say your warranty is voided for your differential because you armored up your vehicle. I would hint that they would lose tons of business if that story got out. Maybe you had a new guy on the phone?

Everything I can find on the Enidine buffers is that they are unreliable and break a lot. :twocents: Google around and you will find more pictures like yours.

It's whats left of the lock ring that holds the main body assembly together, it was beat loose and abvioisly the belled body top now holds the main assembly together and the lock ring is not longer needed. :chuckle: :chuckle:
They do reduce recoil a little, they also dampen buffer noise , you know the screen door slamming under your cheek every shot. You can really tell the difference in noise when you shoot a standard buffer system and the Enidine while using a suppressor. The Enidine is mostly used to slow down full auto fire as if that matters in this state.

I would like to get my Enidine replaced at least, cover my invetement. I am going to try the Spikes Tactical buffer, allot of thumbs up posts and reviews on them.

I guess I don't mind the screen door slamming--as long as it keeps on slamming! :chuckle: :chuckle:
I doubt if the critter downrange will notice it anyway. (I hope!)
