Correct, never competed shooting, eyes too far gone for that stuff now.

You young-uns knock yourself out… 😉

A gimmicky solution to a non-existent problem.

I run the KynSHOT RB5015HD in my 9mm AR. It definitely smooths out the recoil impulse vs. the 7.5oz standard-style buffer I was originally running. Quite happy with my purchase.

I’ve come across only one…issue(?)…while running the KynSHOT. If one has ran an AR a lot, you get kind of accustomed to pulling back on the charging handle and when you “feel” the buffer bottom-out you can manually lock the BCG back. Not so when using the KynSHOT. It bottoms-out and then you have to continue to pull back another 1/2″ or so to compress the hydraulic buffer too before you can lock the BCG back. It’s not a real issue but more of a behavior to unlearn. Something to note if you do purchase one of these.

That D.O.E. gun would be super sweet in .300 BLK with a can on it…

Thank God this was developed, the bone-crushing recoil of the .223/5.56 cartridge has been brutal on my shoulder. My doctor has even suggested I switch calibers to something more gentle, like .300 WinMag or .50 BMG in a lightweight bolt-action rifle…

(If you can’t detect the *dripping* sarcasm in that comment, I can’t help you…)
