About this stock
Forward Controls Design AR-15 Buffer Retainer Stainless Steel is a buffer tube or buffer kit.
Buffer weight and tube length change how the rifle cycles. Match the tube to your stock (mil-spec or commercial) and the buffer weight to your gas system and ammunition.
Manufacturer details
RBF (Reinforced Buffer retainer, Forward Controls) is a strengthened AR buffer retainer machined with Swiss machines from 17-4 stainless steel bar stock, and heat treated to H900 hardness. RBF features a reinforced tip that is 10% larger (0.102) than TDP spec (0.093). FCD didn’t want RBF to be timed (as the case with a rectangular tip), so RBF retains the TDP buffer retainer's versatile round tip and is installed per TM instructions. 10% is as much as we could increase before encountering receiver extension timing incompatibilities.
RBF is compatible with AR15/M16 mil-spec rifle and carbine receiver extensions, as well as Vltor A5 system receiver extensions.
Always wear eye protection while handling springs under pressure, spring loaded pins and detents.
