Recoil Buffer Assembly

A recoil buffer assembly is a component found in firearms, specifically in the recoil system of semi-automatic or automatic firearms. Its main purpose is to absorb and dampen the recoil forces generated when a firearm is fired.

The recoil buffer assembly typically consists of a buffer spring and a buffer. The buffer spring is a coiled spring that is compressed when the firearm is fired, absorbing the energy from the recoil. The buffer, usually made of a durable material such as rubber or polymer, is attached to the end of the buffer spring and acts as a cushion to further absorb and dissipate the recoil energy.

By absorbing and dampening the recoil forces, the recoil buffer assembly helps to reduce the felt recoil and muzzle rise of the firearm. This can improve the shooter's control and accuracy, especially during rapid or sustained fire.

Recoil buffer assemblies are commonly found in firearms such as AR-15 rifles, AK-47 rifles, and various pistol designs. They are often replaceable or upgradable components, allowing shooters to customize the recoil characteristics of their firearms to suit their preferences or shooting needs.
