    I've never used them, so I'm not sure. But, I can't really see what the advantage of one is. Maybe someone else will chime in. Kinda would like to know myself.

    From what Ive read is that flat side helps prevent the bolt from wearing down in the receiver but gets a lot dirtier. I think I am going to pull the trigger on it either way:thumbsup:

    Yeah, looks like less area is contacting the upper. Would be less friction too? IDK, I've never really seen one before.

    Are you gonna have them stake the screws on it?

    You're getting really close to being done now aren't you? It's impossible to not buy parts when you're building LOL! I told myself, just a few a month. Nope, I couldn't stop haha!

    Well Kris thanks to you I now bought everything I need to finish the build :facepalm:

    PSA was the only one that had an extended buffer and lpk together and the cheapest. I thought about getting a heavy spring too but I am gonna see how the 8 oz buffer shoots first.

    You can always spray paint it ODG if you wanted to go that route, a lot of your smaller military units spray paint theirs.
