JP Buffer Alternative

[Laufen]

I'm considering this assembly just because of the price to replace my factory assembly. Any experience with these?

First time I've seen one- but it looks promising (for what that's worth).

I recently put a JP silent spring into my carbine... wow what a difference. Granted, I've only cycled it by hand at this point. I'm planning to give it a good run at the range this weekend to be sure it's working correctly.

I'll give it a try.

I spent 3.5 hours at Charlie Elliot a couple weekends ago, sighting rifles and messing around. I'll probably head back out this weekend.

If it's well made and works, I'd be in for one. The difference in feel is pretty incredible. And those appear to be about 1/2 the cost of the JP.

Looks to be OOS at present time.

How does it feel different?

It's not gritty, just smooth. And quiet- none of the grinding/scratching noise when operating the charging handle.

What would I need to do to make this work in a rifle length tube?

Assuming it's like the JP, about a 2" long piece of plastic tube.

I like the fact the tension is constantly applied to the bolt reducing the slop in cycling. This maybe the answer if you jumping back and forth between suppressed and unsupressed with standard gas block. I'd like to hear more about it how it runs at the range.

I hope to give the JP a good run this weekend. I've never had problems with bolt bounce or any other cycling issues (aside from being extremely dirty at one point). The JP spring doesn't stick out any more than a standard buffer- I'm only saying that because I didn't take out the buffer retainer pin when I put the JP in the carbine.

lol it's a bitch to get the spring out of you leave the retainer pin in... ask me how I knows

Hell, I was holding the retainer down with a punch just to get it in- I can bet it's a PITA to get out.

I saw a guy running the JPSC without a retaining pin this weekend in a 300 blk and he said he loved it. Much smoother and less noise. It was flush with where the retaining pin is. It didn't stick out past it.

Yep, I take mine out. I'll prolly use one on a hunting rifle but I just don't have the faith in them to be in a HD gun.

I've switched to the A5 systems (keep it simple)

I really like everything I've seen on the A5 stock/buffer/spring... but I think I like the Ergo stock too much to change it out. I haven't lost a whisker to it yet.

I don't use the stock. Just the buffer/tube/spring

Problem is the Ergo stock and tube are one piece.
