  1. I’d worry about the longevity of the buffer tube itself.
    I run JP silent captured buffer and spring. An H2 in my super duty mod 1 and it’s unbelievably soft. Then again it’s a geissele length gas tube so between mid and rifle with a .750 gas port. Standard vs their small port sizes.

  2. Could you imagine an electromagnetic buffer kit that allows for adjustable compression and rebound? A loose compression with a quicker rebound would be absolutely SICK!! And the firerate and with the use of a binary trigger? God like!!

  3. We did this years ago utilizing the actual buffer and found CONSTANT reliability issues across calibers/barrel lengths/etc….they will always be chasing a problem with this. Good luck

  4. Honestly captive buffers are the way to go IMO. I'd read one of the most common internal fail points is the buffer retainer pin, it can sheer off and get caught in your fire control group and with a captive buffer you can simply remove that fail point.

  5. Magnets are bad for guns. I went to armorers school decades ago and it's one of the big no nos of weapons. there is no chance this thing doesn't start picking up iron filings and then it's an awkward shaped paperweight. you might call it innovation I call it ill advised fodder for the "pew pew" generation. a range toy at best but not suitable for real duty

  6. For those saying there's no use… other than innovation, there's a reason JP SCS sells, and sells for a lot. This appears (to me) objectively better, and for less. Have a quiet 300bo setup? Add this to make the action quieter.

  7. Magnets can be very unreliable. I have many rare earth magnets. The one thing is that if you do disassemble it, the strong magnets can crack when they come together. This in my opinion is a no go for me.
