Just to expand an earlier thread - which is better - heavy vs. hydraulic buffers when using a can? Experience and opinions wanted before I spend $$.

Re: AR "heavy buffers" vs. hydraulic buffers
I would agree. Not a fan of hydraulic buffers. I really like the spikes tactical T2 buffer with the super silicon spring from Larue Tactical. It's a great set up on suppressed guns or sbr's that are over gassed.

That is actually the set-up I'm running. Added a JP adjustable gas block and get it set up just right. Drops all brass in about the same spot, 4 o'clock 3-4" away.

Both can work very well, but when will the hydraulic buffer fail, the heavy buffer will be there............ </div></div>
The hydraulic buffer I bought, lasted 250rds at the range and failed. stick to a standard heavy or a spikes..

Re: AR "heavy buffers" vs. hydraulic buffers
how about a heavy vs a pneumatic buffer? I have been looking at the OlyArms Pneumatic buffer for a while now, Shows up as unavailable or discontinued all over the place, but last word from Oly I got is that it is still available and it is in their 2010 catalog.

Re: AR "heavy buffers" vs. hydraulic buffers
if u must try a hydraulic/pneumatic buffer Enindine is the way to
go--it has been improved--but probabl best to stick with a part
with the least likelehood of failure--hvy bufffer

Re: AR "heavy buffers" vs. hydraulic buffers
Every hydraulic buffer I have ever used failed and leaked - some lasted longer than others.
Now I run an AAC rate reducer (CAR size) in my .223 M16 (Noveske 10.5" barrel) and an MGI heavy buffer in the 9mm M16. Both with and without cans. The MGI is the best I have ever tried in the 9mm.

Hydraulic/pneumatic are completely different. If there is any possibility of failure (which there always is when using mechanical parts) i'd rather have something air charged than something hydraulic. but that's just cause with a worst case scenario, you wouldnt have oil all over.
