Product Info for VLTOR A5 Specialty Buffer

Specifically developed on the request of the USMC, the A5 buffer system is considered to be the most innovative upgrade for the AR platform, increasing the reliability, accuracy, and performance of AR pattern weapons. For the operator that requires a specially weighted buffer, or wants to fine tune their weapon, the VLTOR A5 buffers come in five unique weights.image

A5 buffers are only compatible with other VLTOR A5 buffer system components. The buffers themselves are longer than traditional carbine buffers, and they cannot be used in standard carbine receiver extensions.
