Spikes Tactical SLA00T3 Heavy Buffer ST-T3 Multi-Caliber AR-Platform - Black Anodized Aluminum/Tungsten
Spike's Tactical
The Spike's Tactical ST-T1 heavy buffer is designed for shooters who want to smooth out their AR-platform rifle's recoil impulse without replacing their entire bolt carrier group or stock setup. If you run a carbine-length or mid-length system and notice harsh felt recoil or want to tighten up your gun's overall behavior, a heavier buffer can make a real difference—and this one's built to do the job without fuss or constant maintenance.
What sets the ST-T1 apart is its construction: a solid aluminum core combined with tungsten fill creates the weight and balance you need in a compact package. The black anodized finish means it'll match your existing hardware and hold up to regular use. At 3 ounces, it's noticeably heavier than a standard carbine buffer, which translates to slower bolt carrier group velocity and a notably softer recoil signature downrange and at the bench. The design is completely maintenance-free—no springs to replace, no moving parts to fuss with.
The ST-T1 ships with a mil-spec bumper, so it'll function in any standard AR buffer tube without modification. Drop it in, run your rifle, and forget about it. Whether you're tuning a hunting rifle, setting up a precision shooter, or just want to reduce perceived recoil during a long range day, this buffer gives you a tangible upgrade over factory carbine specs.
