Spikes Tactical SST buffer?

[818gtiguy]

Has anyone tried out this buffer...its a heavy *** buffer coming in @ 7oz.........I got one for my AR pistol build(PWS DIABLO)and Im wondering if it will work in my 14.5 ADDAX PWS GPU also....I wont know till I test em out next week...just wanted to hear any feedback from my fellow Calgunners.....

Haven't heard anything before, but I look forward to your report, especially with the Addax PWS GPU.

If you follow all the hype on ARFCOM that Spike's created and the product releases, you'll find the SST is no more. Apparently, in testing or whatever they found that their T2 was better.

I thought the heavier ST-SST is what made it better?



Its not all about the weight. Its the reciprocating mass inside and the effectiveness of the design. The T2 is much more effective than the heavier SST. The T2 is close to the same weight as an H2 but its way more effective even being close to the same weight. I did extensive semi-auto and full-auto testing on both of them and my conclusion was to keep the T2 and drop the SST.

So, when I shake the thing, I hear a lot of noise... is it supposed to be like that? Feels like it is only like 70% filled.

Tom, i just want to work with you, I don't want a refund... I just want the right ST-T2....

I have an electronic scale, and it weighted @ 1606grains.... if my calculation is not wrong, that is 3.67oz.



Its more than 70% filled. Thats the best ST-T2 buffer your going to get. There is no working with you to get the right ST-T2 because they are all done the same way. If you dont like it Ill give you a refund but I would recommend you at least shoot it first.

So... They advertise that it is 4.3oz and a customer weighed the buffer he received. He found his buffer to weigh less than what is being advertised and calls them out on it. Tom claims to have weighed them all himself, so therefore he's selling product short of advertised specifications.
If you read the posts in the link, he does not acknowledge the shortage, but just tells the customer to shoot it and be happy. Otherwise, the best course of action for resolution is a refund.

That's just BS!
I understand manufacturing variances, but they are pushing out product a almost an ounce short.
So, do yourself a favor and just run a traditional H3 or a traditional length 9mm buffer.
