Most Helpful Positive Review Works as advertised!
If you have a JP SCS buffer I can highly recommend you pick up one of these. For years now I've been running my guns without any retainer pin and while it made it easy to get the buffer out, it was also a pain when the buffer would just fall out if I wasn't careful when I opened up the gun.

Most Helpful Negative Review Spring was all sorts of messed up
The spring was all bent and disproportioned. It seems like the components are good quality but they aren’t up to par with manufacturing I guess. Seems like a pretty obvious quality control issue. If something like this got through I do not recommend.

Great solution

by Chris, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on March 10, 2026
I have been using the JP Silent Captured Spring, SCS, buffer assembly in my competition AR and 2 other ARs with Maxim CQB stocks. I never installed a buffer retainer as it is not required like a traditional buffer and spring.

All that said, I have started changing the springs and weights on my competition AR to better tune the firearm. I have also been using different Maxim CQB buffers and springs with different upper configurations and by adding these buffer retainers I do not have to fight getting the upper open or back on with the SCS or traditional buffer/springs, and the SCS does not just fall out.

Sometimes the small things make a bigger difference than ever thought possible.
Pros:
  • Smooth operation with SCS
  • Not overly costly for a specialty item
  • Easy removal and install of SCS and traditional buffers
Cons:
  • Does not come with Maxim CQB brace or stock kit
Best Used for:
  • All JP Silent Capitured Spring buffers and Maxim CQB buffers
Would recommend: Yes

makes it easy

by Stuart Moore, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on November 7, 2025
The JP buffer spring can be monotonous with a regular retainer spring to install and remove but, using the JP retainer spring it has become a much simpler process.

works well

by WonTonChickon, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on October 25, 2025
Got this because I swapped out the budget and spring for a JP SCS set up. It fits. It works.

JP says you really don't need this. Just remove the catch all together. But having this makes me feel better.

Great availability.

by Mryd92, Verified Owner from MI, United States Written on July 6, 2025
I won't have a chance to test this out until my build is complete but I'm certain of the quality. What I appreciated the most was availability on OpticsPlanet where other websites didn't have them all in one place at a decent price.
Pros:
  • reasonable price
Cons:
  • None

Great Product

by Kenneth Hundt, Verified Owner from IN, United States Written on February 6, 2025
These work a 100% better then stock buffer retaining pins if you use the JP Buffer System. Buy them and try these retaining pins, you will not be disappointed. I am a product snob and if does not work 100% then I will not use it. They are great.
Pros:
  • Everything
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • JP Buffer assembly
