Anti-Tilt Buffer for AR-15

[s2k1]

Not trying to start a war of DI vs. Pistion.....

I'm thinking of getting a anti-tilt buffer from

http://heavybuffers.com/index.html

for my CMMG M4-LEP II Pistion upper. Does anyone have any experience with this product? Are there other similar options?

I'm currently running the PWS Enhanced Buffer Tube, but still seeing a bit of metal shavings in the lower. Thinking this may help.

Thanks,

I am ignorant, what problem is that part supposed to correct?

The piston rod hits the carrier which causes it to tilt up on its reward travel. Its one of the downside to a piston upper.

I have no personal experience with the anti-tilt buffers but I have heard quite a few times that people have thrown them on SR556's and it correced their tilting issue.

I don't see how carrier tilt could still significantly occur if tolerances are tight enough that the rear of the carrier is supported by the buffer.

Downside is the more complicated takedown. But I can see this being easily remedied with removal of material on the carrier or using a slightly modified open-rear carrier.

If I were to run a 'piston' AR that wasn't an LR300, that would be the solution I would use.

If you install it, you would be hard pressed to get your upper separated from your lower without having to remove both the pivot pin and the takedown pin.

You may be better off getting one of these.

Slashes buffers work. Here
Lubriplate can reduce the effect if your carrier is eating the tube a litle bit.
The receiver threads are getting shaved then do the buffer.
1 out of 5 of my GP ARs had a little tilt and just grease negated it enough to not ever worry about it again. It went just so far and stopped shaving metal. Kinda like cam pin wear.
