447MSGT Posted October 19, 2010 Report Posted October 19, 2010 I ordered the "budget" buffers from rrages this weekend and I am waiting on their arrival. Does anyone have anything to say about these? Weaknesses or strenths? I figured since I dont fire extended strings of fire these should suffice. They will be going into my Gen2 GSG. Thanks.

Thanks.I have the Rrages.com Gen II Delrin buffer in my SD and it definitely works well ... takes a lot of the forward impact of the charging handle/bolt carrier slamming home. I'm not sure I'd be good with the loose piece of neoprene floating around up there though ... the Delrin buffer actually presses into the front of the charging handle assy. so it's permanently attached; not loose. :confused:
447MSGT Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Posted October 24, 2010 I am about to get a GSG5SD, and what you mention about being a loose peice is a good point. I may do the delrin buffer for my A5 version and my new SD. Thanks!!
FS2KSTD Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 The piece of neoprene up there would probably be fine but for me; $8 more is well worth the piece of mind to not worry about it.
Popcop45 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Posted October 28, 2010 I also have the buffer from rrages. This is just one of the areas where the manufacturer forgot a mandatory piece. If you look at the Armorer's manual of H&K MP5 you can see the buffer is built in the cocking tube. Another thing that I found amazing when I looked at the Armorers manual is the fact that a MP5 has a total of three screws; versus 15 + for the GSG-5. I've been around guns 29 years I don't recall ever seeing a firearm with this many screws. Have you? By the way the buffer works great- Got around 800 rounds through mine no problem and no wear.
447MSGT Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Posted October 28, 2010 No sir I have not. However these GSGs are infectious and I just got another one!! GSG5SD (not 522). I also have the buffer from rrages. The neoprenes or the delrin?
