BCM MK2 Buffer System
What’s Included | Buffer Selection | Specs | Pictures | Restrictions
The BCM MK2 Buffer System is a significant improvement over your run-of-the-mill carbine system. The MK2 features a longer receiver extension and a longer buffer while utilizing a standard rifle-length action spring. But why does all that matter?
It all starts at the longer 8-position receiver extension. This allows the use of a longer rifle-length action spring, which more evenly spreads the load over more coils and lets the system use more weight for the same amount of input, effectively widening the operating range of the entire system and making the rifle less sensitive to ammo choice, cleaning (or lack thereof), and environmental conditions.
A longer buffer is used to compensate for the longer receiver extension; this provides room for an extra buffer weight, bringing the total up to four weights instead of the standard three found in a carbine buffer. This gives more adjustability, with BCM’s buffer weights ranging from 3.8oz (T0) to 7.4oz (T4). More weight not only slows the cycle of the gun and reduces recoil impulse, but it also delivers more chambering force and helps resist bolt bounce. The MK2 buffer also features an internal biasing spring, which ensures that the weights always sit towards the front face of the buffer, reducing noise and providing consistent carrier speed, aiding in more reliable chambering and extraction.
