To be fair, I don't for sure know that the "Made in China" one doesn't work just fine in a normal rifle, I haven't tried it yet.
I'm verrrrrry slowly building an AR-9. I bought this buffer (the upper one) for that. My intent was to use a rifle buffer with three tungsten heavy weights to slow it down. I opened the buffer to make sure I wasn't insane with my plan, and found.... WTF? This doesn't seem right! *ONE* steel weight, with only two bumpers. Plus the spacer is ... thin. I'm sure it's fine, but it doesn't inspire confidence.
The lower one came out of an AR-15 built by Bushmaster. Five steel weights, five bumpers.
