ttocs84 · 12-27-2006, 01:48 PM

alrighty then, i just purchased 1 weaponkraft bolt buffer from their site and one SUPER GOLD G-MAX BOLT BUFFER from ebay, dont really know who makes that one, but i wanted to do a self comparison, they have not arrived yet so in the meantime, DEBATE ! Opinions greatly appreciated, which is better the (g-max) has a (SOFT AND ABSORBENT OUTER POLY-SHELL AND SUPER STRONG INNER *STEEL* CORE) as opposed to the solid Urethane buffer that (Weaponkraft) makes. Advantages/Disadvantages of both?

Begin!

I've never had good performance from a buffer in any gun. Read several problems others have had too.
I'll keep my guns they way they were designed - just my personal preference - YMMV!

YellowJacket Bolt Buffers (banned at RFC due to sponsor envy) are the ONLY buffer that has undergone actual product testing in a University Laboratory regime setting (Michigan State University), unlike others who just buy bulk poly at the cheapest price.

They were created testing over 100 unique polyurethane formulas to find the best results for things such as shear, brittleness, and optimin cycling timing in the 10/22lr.

Yellowjackets are the only 10/22 buffer offered in different colors (yellow, black and silver) to match the receiver in stocks where a portion of the buffer shows.

We also have a NEW lab tested formula (in green) designed specifically for use in .17m2 conversions.
And we produce the ONLY buffer designed for use in a 10/22 magnum that comes with a polyurethane backbrace.

Yellow jackets are warrentied for LIFE...and never need replacement. All YellowJackets are hand mic's and hand ground for a perfect fit...not rods cut up with sizzers like others.

Over 3,000 have been sold on ebay, and over 10,000 from our store at cheapgunparts.com and Power custom (who also offers them), and from several gun dealers all around the world.

As for the buffers with steel rods, they have less than perfect cycling times, the rods can rust and break. Volquartsen used to make them with rods and then copied our design for a solid forumla that performs better.
