FS: Inexpensive AK Buffers

[Blackjack]

I have been producing BlackJack recoil buffers for the AK (will fit any AK variant including Saiga) and many other military firearms for several years now. One of the main things that got me started producing my own line of recoil buffers (besides my competitor's pricing) were all of the jams and mis-feeds I started to experienced after I installed one of their buffers in my SA-93 AK-47. All of my AK buffers are only 1/4" thick which is 1/2 the thickness of my competitor's recoil buffer, this thinner buffer design allows the AK action to cycle closer to how it was originally designed.

I use an industrial grade heat-cured urethane in the production of my buffers and most models are available in a softer or harder composition...green being the softer tends to absorb more of the shock and felt recoil, and the harder black is much stiffer and should be used when bump firing or in select-fire mode. Installing a BlackJack Buffer is simple, takes only a few seconds, and does not require any disassembly of the recoil spring assembly. When you install a BlackJack buffer you will help protect your investment from the impact damage that can occur as the bolt carrier slams into the rear of the receiver each time a round is fired. Other benefits from using a recoil buffer include a quieter and smoother action, with tighter groupings and follow-up shots.

I offer a "no hassle" satisfaction guarantee on all of my BlackJack products! If for any reason you don't like them, I'll refund your money or replace the item. If you can wear these out, return it to me and I'll replace it.


Besides recoil buffers for the AK, I also offer buffers for the SKS, SVD, FNC, Ruger 10-22, Mac10/11, Uzi, FAL and many others.)

I've also started producing a tactical safety lever for the AK-Blackjack SWIFT Levers and followers for 7.62x39 steel and waffle mags that will lock back the bolt after the last round has been fired...

Most all of my buffers are only $9.95 ea. + s/h and I do offer wholesale and multiple purchase discounts, please visit my web site for more details

[HomerTHX1138]

Man, I wish I had not paid like $10 bucks for mine a few weeks ago - it did NOT slide over spring and I think it is too big for action as I've had a couple of jams. If I get tired of this, I'll get a pair from you.
Thanks.

[Blackjack]

They'll be here when you need them. ;)

[trikerjay]

just wanted to say these are a great product. buy some you wont be disapointed, and you cant beat the price!
later jay

[Blackjack]

Thanks Trikerjay

[AvtomatKalashnikova]

are the new green urethans more durable? how many rounds would they last typically? I might just get one for my new SSR85! :) thanks for coming up with this new product.

I believe you are refering to the yellow urethanes, I haven't had and reports of them breaking down as of yet.

[srv656sxx]

Blackjack.

I recommend putting together a website to sell these.

It would be pretty simple to do... even if it's just a free server off like geocities, it would be nice as a reference to people.

just a suggestion.

[Blackjack]

You're right, I do need a web site. My daughter has been trying to get me to set one up...it's just a time issue. What started out as a hobby and a convience to AK shooters has turned into something I can hardly keep up with. I'll see what I can do as far as a web site. My biggest concern is getting production up and keeping costs down while still providing a quality product.
Thank you all for all the support you have shown me in this venture.

[TKK]

Old idea. www.sprinco.com has been selling wonder buffs for all sorts of firearms (including AK's) for awhile now.

I have a few coming in the mail for an evaluation article I'm writing for Texas-Shooters.com. Anyone else use their products?

[trywait]

Finally got to the range and ran 50 rounds through my Buk AK47. It shot as sweet as my Russian Legend with the Buffer Tech Buffer! How long will it last? I think it will be a hellve cost factor to buy the ammo to find out. I will put another 100-200 rounds through it on Sunday. I dont see any indication of wear from the 50 rounds. Why so little rounds shot at the range? Because after my shooting my other rifles, I pull out the "defense weapon of choice" and maintain proficiency. Trigger queeze goes all to hell if I shoot only the AK47.

[SirAsh]

I take a set, what's the address to mail the payment to?
or email me SirAsh2nd@aol.com

[Blackjack]

New domain name:
http://www.blackjackbuffers.com :wave:

[Blackjack]

I would post the pics of the new style buffers but I can't seem to get on to Photopoint. Anyone else have problem getting on to thier site? :confused: :BSOD:

[JBoze]

Any deals going on right now? If not, how long til your next deal? LOL

[Blackjack]

It may be a while...I needed to make room for the gen II buffers that are now in. :curtains:

[OPFORx]

Are these any good?:confused:

[Blackjack]

I wouldn't offer them if they weren't. Money-back guarantee.

[Blackjack]

I've got some of the new style buffers that are blems (magic marker lines) that I'm offering at a discount. Check out my website for details.

[DeltaWolf]

Not to put you on the spot
but what is the diffrence in the buffers you had before
and the new style buffers (gen II buffers) :confused:

Inquiring AK-47 nuts want to know :bigdeal:

[Blackjack]

The gen2 buffers are stamp cut for uniformity and they are slightly longer to cover more of the impact area. :cool:

[DeltaWolf]

Thank's for the quick reply :cool:
I can hardly wait to try them out on my SAR1
After only 200 rounds I can see the pattern of damage starting,
looks like a bradded pattern on the face of the rear trunion,
You can see it starting on the rear of the bolt carrier as well.

My son has a ROMAK 99.1 that has maybe 5000 rounds through it,
the damage is very noticeable. He didn't know about the buffers
until I told him and now he is interested.

WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR
BE SAFE AND MAY GOD BLESS

blackjack any deals running now or soon. getting my ak on sat and want to get some buffers,thanks!

[Blackjack]

:rolleyes:

[tollman]

Can anyone post a pic of one installed in an AK? Any info on how an AK functions WITH and WITHOUT a buffer installed?

[Blackjack]

You may find the answers to your questions on my web site.
http://blackjackbuffers.com

[Blackjack]

I did have some on sale for $4.50ea. while supplies lasted, all the blem specials are sold out.

[AvtomatKalashnikova]

Absolutely the best AK buffer deal I've seen around. They look good, lighten recoil, and extend your rifle service life too. Also the best guy I've dealt with on the internet. BlackJack went thru the trouble of sending me a replacment pack when the original shipment got lost in transit. He did it right away, no questions asked, no hassles, and over Christmas too! Absolutely an honorable guy who cares about his customers and product!

I'd buy from him again, if these Red Urethane buffers ever wear out, which I doubt for many hundreds, if not thousands of rounds. :)

[DeltaWolf]

Thats a deal that can't be beat

[Blackjack]

All the blems are gone but there are plenty of regular buffers still in stock. :bigdeal:

[JBoze]

Ordered my 3 yesterday!

[AvtomatKalashnikova]

bump.

used it last weekend. works great.

[tollman]

I'll give them a try. Now, RED or BLUE? Please advise...

BTW, if it matters, I'm not a HIGH VOLUME shooter - meaning that I might shoot 100 rounds at a time, maybe 15-20 times/yr. In other words, I'm not a weekend junkie who will shoot 500 rounds in a single session.

Thanks.

[Blackjack]

So you're saying you're going to pass these down to you're grandkids, huh? ;) Either the red or blue will be fine unless you are shooting 308's or full-auto in which case I would use red. Better yet, buy 3 and have some of each seeing how they are on sale 3@$16 till the end of the month. :cool:

[tollman]

So two BLUES and one RED. Sounds like a plan. Paypal on the way.

Robert

[likebuddah]

I just wanted to give blackjack a plug! Great product, I just bought a red one, and it fits like a glove. I would recommend him to everyone, heck he doesnt even charge for shipping!! Thanks again! :cool:

[JBoze]

I got my 3 buffers last week. Thanks!

[Elmer keith fan]

I'll take 3 blue's. (sent ya an E-mail request for paypal)
any chance of HK buffers comming soon?

[Blackjack]

Sorry, no other buffers in the works at this time. I'll post a poll when I am ready to add a second buffer to the line and see where the greatest demand would be. I'm still working on making my 1st mil so I can quit my real job and play with guns all day. :rolleyes:

[Elmer keith fan]

I'll be voting in that poll when ya do it!!:D
will ya still talk to us hear when ya hit that Mill mark ?;)
sent ya some $ Via paypal.
Thanks

[Blackjack]

This is where it all began. One day ya'll are going to laugh when you recall that my first buffers were hand cut out of tires and scrap materials, I know I do now. Thank you all again for your patriotism and support. I've sold close to 700 of these so far :eek: in about 6 months and still going strong. I still don't know how long they'll last, no one has informed me of a failure or breakdown as of yet, but if you can wear them out :1919: let me know and I'll replace it for you at no charge.

[Elmer keith fan]

got the buffers today.....thanks for the fast shipping...they look good. I gota get some extra $ for ammo now & see if I can wear all 3 out:eek:
Thanks for the great service.:bigdeal:

[wArFaRe]

Black Jack I would like to get 3 of your Buffers before your sale is over. Email me at romak48@htomail.com to discuss payment.

[Blackjack]

wArFaRe: I tried to e-mail you but it didn't go through, e-mail me at rslo@att.net for details.

[Hexagram13]

Any chance you can stamp out a FAL buffer too?
tony

[Antares]

YGM :D

[Blackjack]

Hexagram 13- I've had more request for the FAL buffer than any other buffer, I guess I'll look into stamping one of those out also. I'll post when they are ready to try.

[Elmer keith fan]

FAL buffers a?.....hmmmmm well I will sell my HK clone & get a fal clone so I can try 1 of them buffers I guess. I have got around 500 through my AK with the buffer in it and aint hert it yet......
any one wana do some trad'n? I got a centurion 99 with extras for a FAL clone.

[Blackjack]

Sale extended thru 3-31-02 :)

[Blackjack]

NEW SALE....
ANY 2 BUFFERS---$15 SHIPPED
OFFER GOOD THRU 4-20-02

I've had some feed back on my buffers being used with full auto...
The blue buffers(softer ones) after 1000rds showed only slight imprinting, no noticeable wear, red buffers will be tested soon with FA and I'll post the results. With 1000+ of my buffers out there over the last 8-9 months I've still not heard of any failures, breakdowns, or dissatisfied customers.

My thanks to all of you that have tried my buffers and supported me in this project.

[Blackjack]

I still have some blue buffer blems left, while they last $5.00 ea.

[Blackjack]

Finally!!!! Some real endurance testing on my buffers.

Ok. Here is my review.


Blackjack sent me two buffers, a red and a blue one. After an hour of playing with them (Bending, typing with it, sticking it on my pencil.... they are ADDICTIVE! You can't stop playing with them! ) I threw them into the guns. The red one is a tougher one, and the blue one is much softer. Both appear to be cut from urethane, and have a pretty nice overall finish and workmanship.

I installed the red one in a SAR 1. After 5k rounds at full auto, it doesn't even look worn at all. It takes a good bit of the "Clack" out of the action, and takes a little bit of the edge off of the recoil when using the side folder. It installed without a problem (Took all of 30 seconds) and did not shift at all. It sped up the cycle rate a VERY VERY slight amount compared to no buffer. After being used in the SAR, I installed it in a Krink and got the same results. It has VERY very light wear marks on it now, and it has around 10k rounds on it. I'd use this one on your common everyday shooter, and in any AK you own.

The blue one is more for your baby. The gun you would rather cut your nuts off than see get damaged in any way, but yet you want to shoot it. It was a little harder to install (About 1 minute) because it kept bending at the top. After 8k rounds in a SAR 1, 500 rounds in a SAR 3, and 800 rounds in a Krink, it is showing a bit of wear, but it is tolerating it very nicely. I would say it has roughly half the lifespan of the red buffer, which is still an eternity. It was very hard to tell when I had it installed by rate of fire, but it made a BIG difference on clack and recoil bite.

With a little trimming for one gun to work (Wouldn't strip a round) I found I got excellent results by using BOTH buffers. The red one on top of the blue one. The red takes all the abuse from the bolt and the blue takes all the kinetic energy.

Both handle normal bore cleaning solvents and oils. Be sure to remove them if using brake cleaner or any other trichloroethane/ethylene cleaner in your action. Clean them buffers with soap and water.

Conclusion?

A++! They work really well, and are a necessity to have in an AK/AK clone IMHO. If Kalishlakov knew what he does now and had the materials at the time, he would have one of these installed on every AK.
:wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave::wave:

[Blackjack]

I don't think I will have any blue buffers available for a couple of weeks, I have plenty of red buffers in stock.

[Blackjack]

Blue and Red buffers back in stock now. :D

[glockster72]

do they really work? im thinking about ordering one of each and find out wish there was one for my h&k clone:cool:

[Blackjack]

Yes they work, the action will be smoother and quieter and you will be protecting aginst the metal to metal impact damage that occurs. It looks like the SKS will be the next buffer I provide followed by the FAL. It going to be a while yet before I get to the H&K.

[ubersoldate]

sorry, i would think that bumpin your thread would possibly cause more people to read it therefor makin some potential sales.

[Blackjack]

I diddn't even realize what it was untill I flipped back to the first page. I'm glad you bumped it, it just startled me to read one of my posts stating how I had just opened a forum here....that's been almost 2 years now

[ubersoldate]

2 years! damn....
I just wanted to jump in and promote!!
My aks luv your buffers!

been trying to place an order with my credit card, it says i have a pay pal account and will not let me continue?????

i registered an account through paypal a year ago...but never activated it..!!

[INDYSAR1]

Blackjack,
I just purchased a sar-1 and did not realize but it has a kinda clear/kinda white buffer on it could you give me any info as to who's it is?

[Blackjack]

it has a kinda clear/kinda white buffer on it could you give me any info as to who's it is?

If it is about 1/2" thick that would be my competitors buffer, if it's 1/4" thick it could be one of mine. I did release a few of my buffers in that color last year.

[INDYSAR1]

Thanks for the info... I will measure it later today.

[Blackjack]

I am now out of the BHO followers and don't know if I can get any more. If anyone knows a sorce for Chinese followers in quantities of several hundred please let me know.

[Beefy]

new to the forum and looking through the post here I saw the pic of the Tactical Safety lever. Just curious- what is involved in changing my old one to one of the tactical versions? anyone have any clue?

[Blackjack]

# Verify firearm is unloaded
# Remove receiver cover, recoil spring and old safety lever
# Reinstall new SWIFT safety lever
# Depending on the type of disconnector in your AK, the new SWIFT lever may or may not be able to be installed without removing the trigger group. If your disconnector still has the rear tab, the safety tab may hit the disconnector and not rotate down and lock into place.

I also have a few of the BHO followers available again.

[ashleycalm]

i think ak buffer are much better than oyhers because these buffers are an easy and inexpensive way to eliminate damage of critical components by preventing the metal to metal contact of the slide or breech block with the frame.
