Has anyone used one, and are they worth the money? I am looking at adding it to the POF p308 that I am building. Thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated. I thought I would ask the experts before purchasing one.
You're gonna find people that praise them and people that hate them. If you want to reduce recoil, get a good compensator. I have the Primary Weapons Systems PRC (precision rifle compensator) and if you're building a precision rifle, it's the compensator to have. If you're building a CQC rifle, the FSC30 is the ticket.
I have one in my LMT LWS and it reduced the recoil, I estimate about 15-20% I don't know if it was worth the extra cost. But I at the same time I put a PRS stock on it so I am not sure how much effect the Endine had on the recoil reduction.
I have one in a 223 AR DMR rifle. Does it work? yes, I can feel the difference between the standard buffer and the enidine. It slows down the action and to a lesser degree reduces the initial jolt of the bolt slamming back. BUT, a heavy buffer will give the same result for less money. For my 308 POF I plan to get a heavy buffer instead of buying another enidine.
I would either use a Slash Heavy Buffer or the new JP Silent Buffer. I run both and like both a bunch. I suspect one will eventually win out in my kit but both are outstanding. +1 also on adding a break
Take the advice of those suggesting a heavy buffer and/or a brake. I bought the enidine and it's not good for much unless you're trying to make your rifle unreliable.
