Buffer wear
I have started to,notice buffer wear at the bottom of the buffer. This is a piston gun p308. I have read that is one of the problems with a piston weapon. Would a harder spring keep it down. It ejects fine no problems. As always thanks for the info.

If the carrier tilt really bugs you or if the buffer wear becomes severe (noticeable metal shavings floating around), I'd recommend heavybuffers.com....if it's not horrible sand it a little, repaint, and lube.

Great info thanks.

I think PWS developed an "enhanced buffer tube" to help resolve carrier tilt issues in piston systems.

I would have mentioned that but I didn't think they had them for big boy AR-10's.Originally Posted by ParaShootist

PWS offers.308s. The product list on their website says "PWS Enhanced Mil-Spec Buffer Tube for the AR-15/AR-10 Series Rifles. Fully supports carrier from closed to open." I couldn’t really say as I have no direct experience with them - just adding an option to the brainstorm.

Hi,
I have some of those polymer supplements and they do reduce the tilt but not totally so you still see erosion. I found the following link to be a smart solution but the 308 is not out yet and I have not tried this yet and they do not do or discuss any other long term issues (if any) but I found interesting nevertheless. So in the smaller ARs one tube has 4500 rounds and doesn't seem so bad so I figured, I can change the carriers and get new ones after I test one of course or simply replace the tube one time or two during the service life of the rifle. http://blackriflearms.com/main.sc
The tubes are not expensive and preventive maintenance in long term calls for other parts.
I hope this helps.
