Chopping Down Recoil Buffer

[Renegade]

OK, I picked up a few of the generic black Uzi recoil buffers from CDNN.

It is 1.75 inches in length. Should I run it as is, or chop it down? What size should I chop it down to?

You won't be able to lock the bolt back at full length. You will need to cut it down to ~1.4" (YMMV). Unless you are talking about a closed bolt or semi, then it needs to be full length.

Thanks,

That's what I run. 1.4" works perfectly. I cut mine with a regular cross cut hand saw and cleaned it up on the belt sander. ROF is much better now!

I used a 10" Electric Miter Saw to cut mine. They make a great smooth cut if you have one. I just held it against a scrap piece of board to stabilize it.

Yes, that is exactly what I did. Came out perfect!
