Review
This little washer really surprised me as it did much more than I thought it could. I put it in my SUb2000 this morning, which took maybe two minutes , Then I went shooting to the range this afternoon and went through about 200 rounds. It really removed the chin jarring jolt that use to be there without this little cushion washer. No rattle jaw or sore shoulder at all. Good job MCARBO.
I recently purchased a Gen 2 Sub2K and this was 4 of 4 modifications made to the rifle before its 1st range event. Installation of the recoil buffer was fast and easy! Additionally, watch MCarbo's videos for their easy to follow directions. The Sub2K has a violent cyclic rate because of its direct blow-back design. This little red life saver does its job at reducing felt recoil. However, it does not eliminate it! The shooter will still feel the sharp pulses into the shoulder. The recoil pad does well at slowing down the bolt before it slams against the hard plastic buffer. I'm very satisfied with this recoil pad and I strongly recommend all Sub2K owners install one!
Why this isn't a stock item on the gun, I have no idea, but it should be. Huge difference!
Received my recoil buffer and muzzle brake. It was very easy to install thanks to the instructions video Chris! Can't go wrong with MCarbo parts. Very happy with my parts upgrade -sub2k gen 2. Will definitely order again.
Easy to install and helps a lot.
I purchased the MCARBO Trigger System and the red shock buffer for my Kel-Tec SUB2000 Gen 2/ 9mm carbine. Wow! What a difference. The trigger is perfect now...maybe around 4.5 pounds. I added the little red shock buffer as well. That thing actually cut down the recoil impulse as well. My estimate is about 30%. I zeroed the rifle at 50 yards with REM 115 gr FMJ ammo. It put 3 rounds in the center "X" of the bulls-eye. Nice trigger.
Kept up to date on order status, and received quickly. Part was as described. Followed up to make sure I was satisfied. Same as for previous orders I've made. Always good written and video instructions.
Help calm the Bolt carrier group down very pleased with the product
If you know the Kel-Tec, you'll know why this is needed more than you think.
This is GREAT. MCARBO really has brought everything to the table the Sub2k needs! This along with the recoil less charging handle has made this carbine a dream! Shot 500 rounds and did a tear down, wiped off the buffer, and it looks BRAND NEW. Thanks again MCARBO!!
For 10 bucks...do it
Once you feel the results of this install you will be thrilled. Recoil reduced significantly. Installation ridiculously easy.
Works great easy install
This buffer (Gen2) was easy to install and did exactly what it was designed for. There's still a little recoil, but I find it easier to get my sights back on target after each shot.
Bought one for my Gen 1. It wouldn't allow the bolt to be retracted enough to lock it open. So, I sanded down the buffer until it worked. Even the slightly thinner buffer seems to do it's job well. I hate giving anything from MCARBO less than 5 stars! Their products are always GTG!
Used this with the bolt tube cover. Money we’ll spent. Tames the recoil down against my face.
