Questions & Answers
Would this work on an utas xtr12? Manufacturer Answer

You can try to use this in your utas xtr12 it wont hurt anything, as long as it has a VR80 Style recoil system with a standard buffer system.

A friend of mind had one of these fall apart. Honored under warranty and he was pleased but have you all worked out the kinks? Manufacturer Answer

Yes, we have updated the design to eliminate any issues that have occurred on the original buffers. If you have an original VR80 buffer we would be happy to look at it for you and replace it if needed. Please contact the factory for further assistance on this!

The original design issue has been fixed. by Grif, August 19, 2023
Before I invested in one of these buffers last month I did a lot of research on what the problem actually was. Apparently some of the parts were separating within the first few hundred rounds causing a catastrophic failure, Most of the shooters loved...

Do NOT BUY by S3v3n, Verified Owner, June 21, 2023
This buffer is just junk. I purchased this less then a year ago and it failed bad. The buffer came apart in my buffer tube. I wish I could post pictures here. KynSHOT's warranty is also junk. "Once the buffer is received and KynSHOT's Engineering an...

Great til it breaks by ddktexas, August 6, 2022
Works great and I can really tell the difference when it’s working. Problem is I am on my 3rd one. I put one in a new VR80 and it lasted through about 100 rods of slugs before it broke. Had a second one in my sons VR82 (20ga) and it lasted through 50...

This is why I can't have nice things... Broken @ 180 rounds by MI3GunR, Verified Owner, September 27, 2022
Great idea, poorly designed as mine broke within 180 rounds. felt like it worked well until it broke, which you can tell when it happens because the bolt will not go back far enough to load the next round. Waiting to see if the manufacturer will do a...

Product Info for KynSHOT VR80 Platform Buffer

The RB5022 is a specially engineered Hydraulic Buffer with dual stage damping for the Rock Island Armory VR80 application. This is a drop-in replacement for the standard buffer. The hydraulic fluid and seals are made to meet mil-spec requirements and have an ambient temperature operating range of -30F to +150F. KynSHOT uses patented hydraulic shock absorption technology to dampen the impact of the bolt at the rear of its travel and to dampen the forward impact of the buffers weight as it chambers the next round. This buffers weight, damping, and length have been optimized for the VR80 application so that it runs reliably, softens recoil, smooths out the action, and reduces muzzle rise.image
