Benefits
The A.C.T. Buffer Assembly holds the rear of the bolt carrier centered in the receiver extension during the linear motions of recoil and battery thus potentially preserving the life of barrel extensions, bolts and bolt lugs, extractors, receiver extensions and the bearing surfaces inside the upper receiver. Along with other benefits, the A.C.T. buffer assembly was designed to lengthen the service life of your piston operated black rifle. The A.C.T. Buffer Assembly will also benefit your direct gas impingement rifle as well.
Conceiving the concept
When the initial wave of piston operated rifles and conversion systems hit the market for AR15/M4/M16/AR10 style rifles, I couldn’t wait to get involved. Immediately after testing the new system, I experienced an issue, “Carrier Tilt”. This issue plagues most all piston operated systems, many companies have made provisions to fix this issue but almost all of these systems still show wear signs of “Carrier Tilt”. Not being a person able to leave well enough alone, I invented a proprietary buffer assembly to combat the affects of the “Carrier Tilt” issues. After a few sleepless nights of brainstorming, the concept was born. In this process there were several trials and errors, the current configuration is the culmination of many ideas that worked throughout these processes. The Final product offered by Firearm Ready Solutions today, is a no exceptions fix to “Carrier Tilt” issues.
there must be a GOD…..
wouldn't that just transfer the energy to the buffer and the buffer would wear the tube
Zr1, gt40 are the only American cars worth mentioning…viper is shit
good vid, bro
they do, all rifles in semi-auto configuration has tilt issues. Except the m1a/m14 type of action. The are blow back operatored.
I love your instructional video!! From 0:00 through 14:58 is so fascinating that I don't know where to start. For example, 12:49 through 13:04 "The original design was wrong. And get with the times. Don't just keep on doing something that is inadequate for the system because you don't want to be wrong". 5:52 – 6:10 "See that dimple. That little dimple goes right into the back of the Bolt Carrier. And this is custom made, he gets the measurements that you take, or you can send him your carrier".
I wasn't talking about the BCG at the 5:31 mark… 7075 T-6? Did I not cover something that you were looking for? If I can help let me know… If you were just trying to bash on my video thanks for watching.
10:46 C O O L
10:20 Totally awesome information!!
The maker of these is no longer making them at this time… But all you do is push both pins and slip foward about 1" and it's a part.
Pistons are only good for barrels that are 16inches and below. The direct impingment system is good in a 20 inch. In rifle gas tubes alot of the gases are cooler by the time they hit the bolt because the gas tube is longere then in a carbine, there for it has more time to cool and let carbon settle in the gas tube. They are also alot more accutate because there isnt moving parts on the barrel changing the harmonics. If ur looking for a carbine look into an 18 inch barrel with a rifle gas tube
The buffer tube has a spring in it that pushes the bolt foward
What kind of upper do you want? What kind of barrel? What kind of BCG? DO you want a flat top or a handle top?
Check midwayusa,Stag web site, Rock River web site, LWRC web site, LaRue web site, and brownells.
Does any1 know a reliable site I can purchase a DI upper receiver?
Thanks man… Sadly Seth had to put these buffers on hold for a while and I don't know if and when he will start make up again. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
PS. Nice vid Joe !! Keep em coming…..I learn something new and useful every time I come to YouTube and browse !!
How has this been holdin up been thinking about building a piston ran ar have built lots of Di but not any piston. I have been looking at anti tilt but didnt find any i like tell i saw this video. Also how hard does the buffer make assembely and dissambly?
Yeah that would be good.
Hmmm maybe I should. I've seen quite a bit a videos leaning from one side to the other. Some of the videos are even rigged by the manufactures. Maybe a video showing the positive and negative of weapons with a tutorial on property of materials.
What are the most reasons why the DI system stops working.Carbon,the need of oil "Run wet",and or damage to the bolt.When the bolt doesnt get hot it WILL last longer.Look man if you like the DI better why even watch this video. You should go back to designing more and not comment and my videos. Again Im no expert like you"said"you were. You should make some videos to should what you are saying.I own both systems and both work well and have no problems.Well I spend more time cleanin the Di.Thanks
This is from Mr. Expert DI guy..This DI vs PI system is BS. The DI is actually a piston system. The gas enters the gas key and travels into the where the bolt and bolt carrier form a gas trap. As the gas expands it forces the carrier reward. As the carrier travels reward the cam pin in the cut out on the carrier forces the bolt to turn. There are GAS RINGS on the bolt which seals the gasses. There are two port holes on the carrier which at the precise time allows the excess gasses to escape…..
….so the gas piston is moved from inside the receiver to outside the receiver around the handguards. There's nothing really different other than moving the piston. The weapon does not run cooler. The heat does not go away. The heat is now transfered to the front sight and the chamber on the piston rod. So now the metal in those area will begin to have heat related stress cracks that were associated with the bolt. Nothing has changed other than less carbon in the receiverand bolt.
If you want a realiable piston system then don't buy one on the AR platform. Buy a Ruger Mini 14, AK-47, or one designed from the ground up. Stay away from conversions because you wil eventually start having problems with it as has been the case. The original design was created By Eugene Stoner. He knew about the piston system but chose not to go with it. There is nothing wrong with the DI design. Many manufactures jumped on the piston drive without giving much thought to the end product.
I actually build rifles on the AR platform. I designed a piston drive when I first came across the first AR piston system design called the Rhino System which was based on the FAL system. We soon discovered the problems which many are seeing today. Our was a simple design much like the Ares. What happens is that you are changing the original design and transferring the problem to other areas. Now you have to keep re-engineering it to bandaid the problem you just created.
Ok Mr.Expert DI guy… Whats the big deal you push both pins and slide it about an inch foward. The bolt does stay cleanner and cooler. It would be foolish to say it doesnt because as soon as you do that you are wrong. Do you even own and AR? Have you ever used a gas piston system? You can think what you want but I have uses both shot both cleaned both and I own both. If you like DI over piston by all means run what works best for you but dont try to make things up. Thanks.
So this new buffer elimates carrier tilt? Not really you just transferred the problem down stream into the extention tube. This new buffer also changes the way you disassemble the AR. The buffer which is now partially into the carrier will not allow you to use the takedown pin as designed to open the AR to clean. You still have to remove carbon from the bolt and chamber and clean the barrel. Now you have to pull the takedown pin and the pivot pin to clean the weapon. Great piston design! NOT!!
Maybe a very small amount but compare a gas piston system side by side to a di system and you will see a big difference. If you like the di system and want to hate on gas piston systems thats fine but you should do more of your home work before thinking you know all. I mean no disrepsect but it just looks like people hate on the gas piston systems because they are stuck in their old ways. There is nothing wrong with the di system but I like and own and use both. SIDE BY SIDE. Thanks.
You still have carbon build up in the chamber and bolt with the piston design.
Go to a site called heavybuffers
Not cheap though
Thank you for fighting for my right to choose to buy a gas piston AR.
Thats great if what you say is true and I also thank you for your service. But I never said I was the expert. You should know to keep and open mind about things. If you do your research you will find that the US military has been working on some piston systems. Its like a lot of old school car guys only use carbs and bash on the new electronic fuel systems of today. Thanks.
@scoutsabout LOL… Yeah it much better to have all that carbon in the camber and the bolt. This buffer is not needed but just another added bonus. I have both Piston and DI systems and like them both. But Im not the expert like you. By the way do you even own an AR of some kind? What can you prove. Thanks for watching and I wish you the best.
Are you familiar with PWS? No tilt!
@saint90716 Seth has had so personal things come up and is not making them at this time.,.. I talk to him every once in a while and when I talk to him again find out when and if he will be making them again… PLease feel free to check back with my from tiem to time. Sorry I couldnt help any more. Thanks for watching.
Were can I get a buffer like that for my rifle, I tried the website you posted but all I got was a bunch of other site listings
lefty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT video
I have been needing this info
@liquidgooroo Its not just some random chunck of metal… I know a lot of the story behind this buffer… If you want to do that let me know how you make out but I wouldnt do that if I was you… Weight, cycle rate, ect…
I am running one of Seth's Anti-Tilt buffers. They are pricey but worth it.
@bobsolla Seth has had so personal things come up and is not making them at this time.,.. I talk to him every once in a while and when I talk to him again find out when and if he will be making them again… PLease feel free to check back with my from tiem to time. Sorry I couldnt help any more. Thanks for watching.
i went to his website and facebook.how do i order one?the website seems to be gone and inactive in his facebook.please help!thanks!
@rickylain
PS guns dont cost that much more you idiot…
Didn't notice until I took out my buffer spring. Some noticable buffer tube wear in one spot. I could feel that material was missing from the tube. About 1200 rounds. 1000 hard in a tactical class. Mine is the CMMG piston same as the Stag. Will need to get buffer for it. Thanks for the vid.
wow, i'm amazed what distance ppl go to support the piston system. the piston system is about $500-$1000 more than the di system. and then you have to spend almost a $100 more on an anti-tilt buffer? has anyone actually shot out a di bolt carrier? even if you did, a little more than $100 will give you a new carrier group. and you still have a lot of money left to get you a side arm.
Alright this is weirding me out. Is your AR LH ejecting?
@Owmyballsdude It should indeed be a standard for gas piston systems… This buffer was made by Seth Harness. He is the one that has a patten on it… You can call him and he can give you more info then I can… Hes the man… As for the "accent" I say things like Wooder water…LOL Plus on top of all that I aint got no fancy book learnings…LOL… Thanks for all the comments bro… Lets all learn from each other… Joe Tactical
No problem. I haved lived in around both places (B-more/DaBurgh) and they have very similiar accents and speech patterns. Keep up the good work. I was actually talking to a guy today about the anti-tilt B/S assembly and he installed it too. How is it so far with yours. I mean it seems like a no brainer! Should be SOP for every piston gun out there. No?
Be safe
