CAR-10 Buffer - 5.6 ounces - $99
The CAR-10 buffer will allow you to use any AR15 collapsing stock (MagPul/LMT/VLTOR/CavArms/etc) on your AR10, SR25, LMT, POF or DPMS-pattern .308 rifle. Standard carbine length stocks cannot be installed on these rifles without a CAR-10 buffer.
This product is specifically recommended by Magpul for use with their UBR stock on .308 ARs. CAR-10 buffers work great with any other stock using a standard 7" carbine buffer tube.
CAR-10 buffers are shorter and heavier than standard carbine buffers. Constructed of 303 Stainless Steel with a sliding Tungsten anti-bounce counterweight. Heavy buffers reduce felt recoil for the shooter, and minimize wear and tear on the gun. Some users have reported that the CAR-10 buffer significantly increased the reliability of their firearms.
This is strictly a 'Drop-In' part, no gunsmithing or modifications are required. I recommend using modified ArmaLite AR10 rifle buffer springs with these buffers. OEM springs from other manufacturers or aftermarket springs may cause malfunctions. 'Flat-Wire' springs are not recommended.
Note: This buffer is designed for use in .308 ARs with a 7" receiver extension (buffer tube). If you have an ArmaLite/VLTOR extended length tube (7-3/4") please see the AR15 Carbine Buffer page. Not compatible with .223 ARs.
CAR-10 XH Buffer - 6.5 ounces - $125
Extra-Heavy model for suppressed weapons, or for maximum recoil reduction in non-suppressed guns.
Includes a Stainless Steel roll pin for a lifetime of trouble-free performance. The head is hand polished for an extra smooth finish that won't cause damage to your buffer tube.
I strongly recommend this buffer if any of the following conditions apply:
- If you will be shooting with a suppressor. (Your gun will still run fine unsuppressed with standard ammunition.)
- If you will be shooting hot handloads or very heavy bullets.
- If you want maximum recoil reduction.
Rock River Arms LAR-8 and Bushmaster .308 owners - Please note:
These guns require a slightly different buffer than all other .308 ARs.
If your gun uses a FAL magazine you need the buffer listed below.
Please contact me via email prior to ordering if you have any doubts as to which product you need.
