A smoother, quieter AR-15? The SMB from Armaspec.

The Sound Mitigation Buffer(SMB) was created to eliminate some of the noise that comes from the buffer/buffer spring, and also just create a slightly smoother cycle for your action. If you're looking to upgrade your buffer system, this is a really nice and inexpensive way to do it!

The only issue I ran into was this. A POF 7 position buffer tube. I didn't realize it's just a little longer. So, the 308 version would drop to far in. What I did. Cut some buffer spring coils , just enough to full the gap. welded 2 washers to the spring. Placed it in first and then the armspec buffer in and locked it in. It let's the entire process smoothly work and doesn't bottom out...

I have the previous gen 2. I absolutely love it. It makes a big difference. I bought all of the individual weights so I can tune my AR for several different scenarios. The weights were $10 ea.

[@FogGoblin]

I'm new. Why would you have different weights for different situations?

[@sciji3118]

​​@@FogGoblinidk if anyone answered you so I'll try, the biggest thing is reliability which is assured by most companies by making the weapon over gassed on purpose, this means that it can also cause damage over time and the way you tell if it's overgassed is the ejection pattern. Ejection pattern is when firing the cartridge case is ejected and bounces off the deflector behind the ejection port, if it's bouncing off more forward of the ejection port than 3 o clock to 430ish o clock it's overgassed which can be mitigated by adding weight to buffer. If cartridges are bouncing off the deflector behind the 3 o'clock position it's likely under gassed or you should lower the weight in the buffer until it's at 3 o'clock position otherwise it's gonna take more than weight. Everything you could ever really learn without doing the things with the things can be learned right here on YT so you're in the right place so do your research and enjoy tinkering. Also, the best buffer system for the money I've seen so far is by strike industries it's a kit that comes with everything and they sell upgraded springs too if I'm not mistaken.

[@FogGoblin]

@@sciji3118 Wow. I learned nothing. I realized these all made in the time of War to the lowest bidder and then fifty plus years later all the legislation and you cannot change a simple part without creating a Felony. Fast forward to now this good for them if it jams, misses or explodes. After typing that I realized pry inside job so we all not all wearing a legal motion activated voice controlled shoulder fired mini gun with chemical bullets.

[@FogGoblin]

@@sciji3118 Simple question from a simple mind. I was thinking you would say weights change depending on type of ammo and if using a suppressor for proper feeding. Also why cannot it be contained in a Soundproof or Liquid butt stick? Also what is the exact amount of gas needed to cycle and where is bleeder like valve to throw away extra gas and not cause further wear and tear. You know them, I Dream of them. However nothing like Modern. I see the Future.

[@thomthompson9217]

Similar to the JP Silent capture system. I have the JP on three of my rifles. This type of buffer system greatly reduces the noise inherent in AR-15 & AR-10 operations (as well as smoothing the buffer cycling). I wouldn’t build another AR platform rifle without the JP Silent Capture System or the Armaspec SMB.

What makes it the "best of all of them"?

[@matthewschmitt2454]

@@derekturner3272 these don't have the failure points you'll get from JP and other captured buffers, as they don't have the o-rings between the buffer weights that eventually wear down. The entire system is held together with a tension pin, instead of a screw with loc-tite, so recoil shouldn't affect it over time like in the JP's. All around I feel this is a better system design 🤷

[@derekturner3272]

@@matthewschmitt2454 Thanks! I've made all mine, and when I see a cool new design, I often machine something up to get a better look at it. The orings and "loose" weights on the JP system provide some "hysteresis" that some say is good/needed. But so far, I've heard no compelling argument that gains my agreement on that point. I, like you, don't like betting my life on Loctite. So, any design that removes failure points is all goodness.

Have you have issues with the 2 stage ? Mine hit the 1k rounds and started giving me failure to feed, causing my bolt to chew the brass lol. I swapped out to my standard buffer system < I always keep in My rifle bag> And bam back in action ate and spat the brass with no problems. When I got home I took the 2 stage apart and cleaned it up, wasn't that dirty to be honest. But I know there's more parts moving in between so that could cause a failure.

[@TacticalBuffoonary]

@@MRD0889 I would replace the springs’ they are a consumable part. In my particular case’ all my Ar’s including my Ar .308/6.5 have lightweight titanium bcgs and adjustable gas blocks so my recoil is less and so is the reciprocating mass. I have over 1k thru my 10.5 with an frt 15 and 1k thru my 16” ar-15 and my .308 AR. I do have spare springs for all the parts for all my rifles and hand guns including springs for my armaspec buffers. I do have standard buffers and buffer springs too. I bet your springs are weak and need to be replaced’ they are consumable parts that don’t last forever. Ill keep a close eye on mine to see if they start to fail to feed but right now they seem fine.

I didn't particularly care for a quieter action, I wanted the 2 stage system to reduce that heavy recoil from the buffer bottoming out, and i wanted more reliable feeding. I'm gonna have to do some more shooting with it but the difference in felt recoil is really noticeable. However much like you, I immediately noticed it caused more damage to my brass, it almost shows signs of increased pressure on the rim of the cartridge which is really strange. I think this issue would be solved by armaspec simply making a stronger spring available to replace the first "stage" long spring. Now, I'm also using an enhanced extractor/bcg, so I may just have too much tension on the casings but I'm not sure..

Just bought the SMB Gen3. Although it DOES eliminate the annoying“twang” you get with a standard buffer spring, it is EXTREMELY difficult to remove from the buffer tube. The hammer is in the way and you have to force it out pretty hard. Still not sure I’m keeping it but it works fine.

[@trevishornsby7385]

By hammer do you mean buffer detent?I want to buy one but really don't have the time for the bullshit just to get the twang to go away...

[@danefuentes3877]

⁠​⁠​⁠No, I’m referring to the hammer that strikes the firing pin. The detent is an inconvenience at most. But due to the fact that the SMB is a solid steel rod, it doesn’t bend out of the way the buffer and spring does. You can kind of see it in this video @1:45. In the video, the SMB buffer is resting on top of the hammer. However, once it is installed, when you try to remove the SMB, the bolt-side face of the SMB buffer rests against the back of the hammer when it is cocked and it takes some serious elbow grease to get it past the hammer. Uncocking the hammer doesn’t help either because then it just becomes even taller.

[@carterm3301]

Well big dog I guess that’s true but as long as you don’t have a dimpled backing ring you can also just back out the buffer tube which I guess would take more time but could be less of a headache.

[@loviticuss]

😅 or you can just press the hammer down it has a small amount of travel left in it and it's plenty to pull out the smb

[@danefuentes3877]

@@loviticuss I have an aero precision lower and that is the first thing I tried. Not enough post-travel to allow the SMB to come out of the buffer tube. The buffer tube is almost in line with the top of the lower receiver. If YOUR hammer goes down far enough to let the SMB out of the buffer tube, something is probably broken. WIth all due respect, do you actually own an SMB, or are you just spitballing here? So far, I've decided to keep it in but it's still not any easier to remove. It's not something I clean that often anyway so it should be fine.
