Airsoft GBBR Buffers & Recoil Weights

The buffer and recoil weight control how the bolt moves in your gas blowback rifle. Tuning them changes the feel of the recoil, the rate of fire and how much stress the rifle takes with each shot.

Choose buffers, recoil weights, recoil rods and springs for the Tokyo Marui MWS, MP7 and Saiga-12K and the MCX, from Jaeger Precision, Pro-Arms and Federal Concepts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need To know more?

What does a heavier recoil weight do?

It increases the kick of each shot, but can slow cycling, especially in cold weather.

What is a short stroke spacer?

It shortens the bolt's travel for a faster cycle and higher rate of fire.

Will it fit my rifle?

Buffers and weights are platform-specific, such as MWS, MP7 or Saiga. Check the listing.

How should I tune my GBBR?

Change one part at a time and test, so you can see the effect of each change.

Tokyo Marui MWS

A heavier blowback weight increases the kick, while spacers shorten the bolt's travel for a faster cycle. Choose the Jaeger Precision MWS blowback weight, the Ghetto Blaster heavy buffer or the MWS Puck short stroke spacer set. See more MWS parts.

MP7 and MCX

MP7 GBB owners can fit the Pro-Arms 130% steel recoil rod, and MCX owners the Jaeger Precision MCX recoil buffer pad.

Saiga-12K

Saiga owners can fit the Federal Concepts Saiga-12K buffer and the Pro-Arms 130–160% recoil spring.

Tuning Your Recoil

Heavier weights give more kick but can slow cycling, especially in the cold. Lighter setups and short-stroke spacers cycle faster. Make one change at a time and test. See also GBBR nozzles and NPAS valves.
