The Spikes Tactical ST-T3 Buffer solves the overgassing and bolt bounce issues common to heavily suppressed or over-gassed AR-15 builds, using sliding solid tungsten weights to deliver a firmer, more controlled recoil impulse. Built from solid billet aluminum with no fluids to leak, this AR-15 buffer is 100% maintenance-free and delivers the most mass in the ST series.
Features:
- H3 weight class
- 5.4 oz weight
- Carbine length
- Solid billet aluminum body, CNC machined
- Sliding solid tungsten weights
- Mil-Spec bumper
- Anodized matte black finish, laser engraved logo
- No fluids, 100% maintenance-free
The sliding tungsten weights eliminate the chance of bolt bounce and help control muzzle rise, cutting down on felt recoil compared to a standard carbine buffer. This heaviest H3 configuration suits builds running significantly increased gas pressure or heavy suppression that need more bolt-carrier deceleration than the ST-T1 or ST-T2 provide. Because the body is solid billet aluminum rather than a fluid-filled design, there's nothing to leak or maintain over the buffer's service life.
Spikes Tactical builds AR-15 parts and complete rifles with high-quality American-made materials at a competitive price point. From individual components to full carbines, they back their products with a lifetime warranty.

Good color
by jj -
Works great in my 9mm build. Functions as expected. This buffer is standard length, so you may need to put a spacer behind the spring with a 9mm bolt. If the bolt travels more than 1/4in behind the bolt catch you need to add quarters behind the spring to take up the extra room.
As with many gun parts, feels a little overpriced.
Rattles
by Ronald -
the sliding weights move back and forth within the buffer. This causes and annoying rattle in an otherwise tight rifle. Functions as promised. But the rifle is noisy when carrying
Very nice

Fixed my LRBHO function on my PSA Glock compatible lower.
Another Great Product
by Timothy -
Spikes has done it again. Another great product. I bought this to use in a DPMS LR308, that repeatedly malfunctioned, due to over gassing. I installed this buffer and no more malfunctioning. I then bought a second one for another .308 AR that had the same problem. Cured both of them. You will need a .308 length tube, to use this in a 308.
Solved my cycling problems
by Leland Palmer
Was having cycling problems with a friend's .300 BO 18" carbine. This buffer solved it. It's Spikes so you know it's good stuff.
Works for my suppressed setup
by James Dodd
Got this for my suppressed AR (16" mid-length barrel) that would not run correctly with the A2 stock (rifle buffer) system. Got a spikes spacer as well as a carbine spring and this T3 buffer and it runs like it was designed that way. Couldn't be happier.
