Q
onejay, member, from AZ, United States, asked on September 24, 2022

I see in the description that the kit includes 2 tungsten, 2 steel, 2 aluminum, and 3 POM weights, but what are POM weights and how much do they weigh

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on October 04, 2022

The Strike Industries AR Optimus Weight Recoil Buffer POM weights are Thermoplastic weights. Strike Industries does not state the weight of the individual weights and I recommend contacting Strike Industries for that information.

Grant Bakeberg, member, from MN, United States, asked on November 27, 2021

Will this work with a giessele super 42 spring? They claim you have to strictly use their buffer because the spring is smaller inside diameter

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan, Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 21, 2022

You can use the Strike Industries AR Optimus Weight Recoil Buffer but, Geissele does say a standard buffer can cause damage to the rifle or receiver. However, this is not a standard buffer and you can increase or decrease weight at will.

Will this work on a CMMG AR .45?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on March 24, 2022

Yes, the Strike Industries AR Optimus Weight Recoil Buffer can be used with the CMMG Banshee AR in .45ACP. CMMG uses a standard H buffer in that AR Pistol, so the weight of the Strike Industries AR Optimus Weight Recoil Buffer can be adjusted for best performance in that platform.
