Small part, big difference! - VKTR Industries Heavy Duty Buffer Retainer

Rick's Review of VKTR Industries Heavy Duty 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.
Pros:
Does it's job
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
Retaining a buffer
Would Recommend:
Yes
