Overview
Built for shooters who want a more controlled recoil impulse without giving up reliability, this buffer is aimed at improving carrier velocity consistency in a carbine setup. It uses an M16A4 rifle spring with more coils than an M4 carbine spring, along with increased internal counterweight travel to help reduce bolt bounce. An internal spring is also used to limit noise from shifting counterweights and keep weight placement more consistent. Made from 7075T6 aluminum with a hard coat anodized finish and Mil-Spec components, it is a practical option for serious use where consistency matters.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed around an intermediate-length setup, so it is not a universal drop-in choice for every carbine configuration.
- The buffer system uses a specific M16A4 rifle spring rather than an M4 carbine spring, which may matter for users matching parts to a particular setup.
- Its design emphasizes consistency and reduced felt recoil, but that comes with a more specialized configuration than a standard carbine buffer system.
- The product description references multiple variants, so confirming the exact T4 specification before purchase is important.
