It cushions bolt carrier impact at the rear of the receiver, taking the edge off the shock your rear trunnion and internals absorb — which matters more once an FRT has you running higher round counts than the rifle was ever set up for. What the Recoil Buffer Does The buffer sits at the rear of the receiver and absorbs the impact of the bolt carrier at the end of its rearward travel. On a standard AK that impact goes straight into the rear trunnion. On a rifle running a forced reset trigger, it happens a lot more often. The practical result is smoother cycling, less battering on the receiver internals, and a slightly softer impulse at the shoulder. It is the cheapest insurance you can put in an AK you intend to run hard. When You Need One Replacing a worn buffer — buffers are a wear item and compress over time. Adding one to a second AK — buy the buffer without buying a second FRT kit. Running high volume — an FRT-equipped AK sees round counts that make trunnion protection worth having. Restoring a kit — the buffer went into a different rifle and never came back. Fitment Spec Detail Platform AK-47, AK-74, AKM, and RPK pattern rifles Receiver Standard AKM stamped or milled Bolt carrier Full-stroke or short-stroke Calibers 7.62x39, 5.45x39, 5.56x45 Does not fit Pistol-caliber AKs (9mm, .45 ACP, and similar) Check your model first. AK receivers vary more than any other platform. Fitting these parts assumes a standard AKM-pattern receiver, and Draco variants require a minor trunnion modification. If you are not sure where your rifle lands, start with the complete AK-47 FRT kit listing and the install documentation before ordering individual parts. Installation The buffer installs at the rear of the receiver with the recoil assembly out. No tools, no permanent modification, and it comes back out just as easily. Fitment is common to AK-pattern receivers, but check clearance with your specific dust cover and recoil assembly on first install. What You Get One (1) AK recoil buffer. Sold individually. This buffer is already included with the complete AK-47 FRT kit — order it here only if you need a spare or a second one. Before You Order This is a component part for an AK forced reset trigger system, sold as a replacement or spare. Forced reset trigger regulations continue to develop and vary by state. Review our FRT legality resource for the current picture before ordering, and confirm what applies where you live.
