does this need a spacer for 9mm build?

Expert Answer

Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 17, 2020

These buffers are meant for standard carbine buffer tubes, so no it should not require a spacer.

My .300BLK (10.5”) is currently under gassed. Even running suppressed, im still not getting it to cycle. Will this product solve it?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on June 07, 2023

If the buffer weight is your problem, then this buffer assembly (the heavy model) should allow you to tune your rifle to function as intended. However, we cannot guarantee that the buffer in your rifle is causing the issue. If you are using a standard AR15 carbine buffer, then it is 100% a good idea to use a heavier buffer for 300 Blackout, especially suppressed. Email us at Techsales@opticsplanet.com and let us know what other parts and modifications you are using so we can further assist you in finding the issue with your rifle.

Which one for 300 black super and sub?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 01, 2022

The ODIN Works AR-15 Adjustable Buffer I would recommend is the heavy option. Whether you are using super's or sub's, 300 Blackout should still be using a heavier buffer in general.(Usually an H3 - 5.4oz) The Heavy option gives you the adjustability needed to tune your 300 Blackout to run the best it can because it can go up to 5.8oz.

Can this work with a a5 buffer on 16”?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on May 24, 2022

The ODIN Works AR-15 Adjustable Buffer is not compatible with an A5 buffer tube. You would need an A5 specific buffer designed for the length of the A5 buffer tube. I'd recommend the VLTOR A5 Specialty Buffer, found by using the link below:
