[Parts] ODIN Works AR15 Adjustable Buffer - Heavy. $66.04 + tax & ship (~$10) with code APRIL1226.

Posted by steventristeng@reddit | gundeals | View on Reddit | 33 comments

Before tungsten prices went up I think I got this for about $67 shipped.

More of an in-stock notification for those w a super safety / FRT. code basically ends up covering shipping and tax.

I got this code in my email for 20% off and snagged one. Not sure if you can use it or not: LTR_N4JG7WH9.

will the price drop in the future? this "deal" is scary....

I used to see these for $36 on sale at PrimaryArms, but glancing over there the standard price has gone up to $75.

So looks like Odin has raised the baseline price.

Just know these only come with 1 tungsten weight. I had to buy 2 more separately later to get it heavy enough for my frt to work.

I’m comparing to my KAK, which has 3 tungsten. I think the SS buffer housing is what’s making up the weight to compare to the KAK.

The buffer body is also slightly longer than a standard carbine buffer, and the polymer bumper insert is accordingly a little shorter.

The Odin buffer body with 3 tungsten weights is about 7.5 oz.

That's the config for 9mm, nut since ar14 discounts or dirty Bird sell those for $60 sometimes that's the one to buy because it's easy to go lighter hard to find tungsten

It took some extra weight for my suppressed 16" 762x39 AR pig gun to run reliably. I may have done the Odin with 1S and 2T for that gun, which was 6.6 oz--I just don't remember for sure.

•Heavy Buffer made from stainless steel Weights included for different weight combinations -comes with 3 aluminum, 3 stainless steel and 1 tungsten weights (3.7oz – 5.8oz)

How heavy did you need to go? My understanding is standard H3 is 5.6oz. Or is there an advantage to having all tungsten weights ?

Basically for frts, the overall weight of the buffer is not as important as how heavy the loose weights inside the buffer are. They're what act like a dead blow to keep the bolt from bouncing. This buffer has a heavier body than a normal one so once you get enough weight inside it, you're going to be heavier overall.

Holy shit man you gave me a whole new mode of attack to try and fix my frt situation

Thanks

I have a kenshot hydraulic buffer in my 9mm banshee and the frt is perfect. I haven’t tried on a 556 though

[-]

you_killed_my_@reddit

My first choice was maxim defense rdb but that thing is tough to get to cycle

[-]

thehighsman0503@reddit

The banshee is already “radial delayed” so not sure that would work for me. I haven’t heard of it before so take that with a grain of rice. The kenshot though is 🤯

[-]

you_killed_my_@reddit

My biggest gripe with kynshot is I have trouble getting the bolt to stay locked back

[-]

thehighsman0503@reddit

No issues on mine. A5 buffer tube though

steventristeng@reddit (OP)

Seems like ideally you’d want the lite buffer with 3 tungsten weights. (Nothing wrong w heavy buffer body as long as it cycles with all 3 tungsten weights) 3 tungsten weights (tungsten being more dense) would maximize the momentum (m*v) of the dead blow effect thus maximally preventing preventing bolt bounce.

Sound right?

Eabco or similar sold 3 tungsten weights alone for $60. But KAK has a system, and if you really want to go all out, primary has a two tungsten system with slightly extend buffer and runs rifle spring.

[-]

Mahlegos@reddit

This is the best deal I’ve found. About $60 shipped for a whole buffer but has three tungsten weights according to folks on the post here two days ago. Places like primary arms are charging $30 each (before shipping and tax) for tungsten weights currently so more than 33% less to go the lanbos route and you get a spare buffer body.

Their 9mm version of this is the same size but I think has more than 1 tungsten buffer.

It warms my heart to know that so many people are learning how important cyclic rate is when mag dumping on a cardboard target at a flat indoor range...

[-]

SuperBad123456@reddit

I have the heavy and the light version—these are great for tuning your system.

I’ve read about the set screw backing off on these, though that hasn’t been my experience and I run one of these in an FRT setup. Vibra-tite or Loctite would fix that problem if you have it, though.

[-]

Quw10@reddit

I had it happen on mine about 300 rounds in because I forgot to use loctite, but if I remember right somewhere it says to use loctite but I may be mixing that up with another buffer I have. Either way it was on me.

If anyone else was curious about why these NBS buffers were significantly less than others, I just punched out the bumper and the whole item is a solid piece single piece of steel that is painted on the outside. There are not springs, or 3 separate pieces of aluminum or tungsten inside, or even one single weight inside. The whole things appear to get its weight because it was all made from as a single cast or milled item. These would be a great design for the A5 buffers as they might hit about 7.7oz but it looks like everyone should try to snag the tromix buffers and not these: https://dirtybirdusa.com/products/nbs-ar-15-4-9-oz-heavy-buffer__trashed/
