Product Overview
The ODIN Works Adjustable Heavy AR-15 Carbine Buffer provides shooters with a simple solution for tuning rifle performance. Unlike traditional buffers that require disassembly and weight swapping through a roll pin, the ODIN Works design allows rapid weight adjustments through its modular internal weight system.
