[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2977661, member: 2939"] Bamban being a very technical high end shooter uses a full auto bolt and even adds a brass weighted plug. Every comp gun I come across at meets has a heavy bolt. So in one rifle to make everything the same. Let's just change out the bolts. The heavy full auto bolt and the one with the brass plug get hit with the same amount of pressure from the gas tube as say installing a light weight skeleton type bolt. The more mass bolts would travel rearward slower and impact the buffer weight at a lower velocity. So does this increase the felt recoil? Which is really nill in a 223 anyway. The installed brass plug does two things IMO. Extra weight and it creates more surface area striking the buffer weight to make the buffer weight not get just beat up in a ring shape. The lower weight buffer also moves easier when pushed back. [/QUOTE]
