Reviews & Ratings for VKTR Industries Heavy Duty Buffer Retainer — 4 reviews — Page 1

At first I tried to install it on my psa sabre but the buffer has the U notched cut out vktr retainer was to small would not stay square. I took it out and and saved it for my first ar15 build install it with the A5 BCM mitigation system and work perfect.

Not just more durable, also easier to work with. Doesn't poke your thumb when holding the retainer down. Extra weight means it doesn't fly very far if your thumb/screwdriver slips off of it. Actually makes things easier than just running without a buffer retainer.

This little buffer retainer did wonders for my buffer! I have two of these, each is retaining a Kynshot hydraulic buffer- one carbine length, one rifle length. I started with the rifle length because I had a mil spec retainer, and as I had the upper & lowers apart, the buffer rotated just right, and sprung out of the tube. Luckily, my hand was there to stop it, or that could have been a bad situation. I'm sure it was a rare aituation, a perfect storm, but it happened. Since adding the VKTR HD buffer retainer, there have been zero problems. I checked the VKTR by manipulating the Kynshot around, trying to create a fail- and the VKTR did it's job! No failures. I then added one on a carbine with a Kynshot as well, just to be sure. I have not tried this on any buffer other than a Kynshot- so I can not say. However, I plan to add these to other rifles, and I'll come back and update the review.
