AR-15 Rifle Buffer — Mil-Spec Weight & Length for Fixed-Stock Systems | UPC 859819007164
Build your rifle-length AR right from the core. The AR-15 Rifle Buffer (UPC 859819007164) delivers dependable cycling, smooth recoil impulse, and long service life in fixed-stock and rifle-length receiver extension setups. Precision made to mil-spec dimensions, this buffer pairs with a rifle buffer spring and rifle receiver extension (A1/A2 or rifle-length tube) to keep your bolt carrier moving reliably with 5.56/.223 and other AR-15 cartridges tuned for rifle gas.
Why This AR-15 Rifle Buffer
Mil-spec geometry & mass: Correct internal weight stack and overall length support consistent bolt velocity, reliable feeding, and positive lock-back on quality mags.
Smooth recoil impulse: The buffer’s weight distribution and durable bumper help reduce felt recoil and muzzle dip, improving shot-to-shot recovery.
Durable construction: Hardened components and a robust polymer bumper resist peening under high round counts and training cycles.
Drop-in compatibility: Fits AR-15 rifle-length receiver extensions (fixed stocks) with a rifle buffer spring—ideal for A1/A2 stocks and precision rifle builds.
Versatile performance: Proven with standard 5.56/.223 as well as popular AR-15 chamberings tuned for rifle gas systems (e.g., .224 Valkyrie, .350 Legend, etc.).
Note: This is a rifle-length buffer. It is not for carbine receiver extensions. Use the correct tube and rifle buffer spring.
Ideal For
Fixed-stock rifles (A1/A2) and precision AR-15 builds
Rifle-length gas systems seeking maximum reliability and soft recoil
Bench, varmint, and match rifles where consistency equals accuracy
Duty/training rifles that need dependable lock-back and repeatable timing

Compatibility & Setup
Works with:
Rifle receiver extension (fixed stock)
Rifle-length buffer spring (not carbine)
Standard AR-15 BCG (5.56 carrier), matched to your caliber/chamber
Do not mix: Carbine springs/buffers with rifle-length tubes (and vice versa).
Gas system: Optimized for rifle gas on 18–20"+ barrels; can work in tuned intermediate setups where rifle-length timing is specified.
Installation Tips (Quick Reference)
Verify clear & safe. Separate upper and lower.
Install spring & buffer: Insert the rifle buffer spring into the rifle extension, then follow with the rifle buffer (bumper facing outward).
Retainer check: Ensure the buffer retainer captures the buffer correctly while allowing smooth movement.
Function test: Cycle the action. Confirm smooth travel, positive lock-back on an empty mag, and proper bolt release.
Pro Tip: Pair this buffer with a quality rifle spring and a properly sized gas port (or adjustable gas block) to fine-tune recoil and ejection for your load and suppressor use.
Troubleshooting & Tuning
No lock-back: Verify magazine and gas, then spring condition; confirm you’re using a rifle-length buffer and spring in a rifle tube.
Violent ejection or bolt speed: Consider gas adjustment or heavier buffer options (where appropriate) while maintaining the rifle-length standard.
Short-stroking: Check gas block alignment, gas port size, ammo, and spring fatigue.
Maintenance
Wipe carbon and debris from the buffer face and polymer bumper during routine cleanings.
Keep a light film of oil in the receiver extension—avoid heavy grease that traps grit.
Inspect the buffer roll pin and bumper for wear; replace components at signs of damage.
