[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 338854, member: 7449"] You may have an issue with the bolt going into battery with the lighter buffer. The weights inside a buffer serve a very specific purpose. Ever frame up a wall with a big nasty framing hammer? You whack away and give it that last good one to really seat the nail and what happens? The joint separates and you have hit it again. The bolt will attempt to do the same thing. The spring will drive everything home and the bolt will rotate into battery, only to bounce back out and rotate the lugs out of battery. The weights inside the buffer keep on whacking and keep the bolt locked up till everything settles down. Just be forewarned in case the bolt doesn't want to stay put. Chad [/QUOTE]
