think I might have decided on a kaw Valley 10 oz tungsten buffer. see if that slows down blow back a little bit to get a better burn

Thanks for the link.
Whew, pricy !
If you go ahead and get it, let us know how it goes.
On an older thought, was it Olympic that had the mag loader "helper" ?

If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.
yes I seen it about a month ago on their sight. but just looked and can't seem to find it now
might just call them and see if it is available.
for those interested the kaw Valley buffer and their spring was maybe to much! would not throw last few pieces of brass out. maybe was to heavy. tried it with a standard spring was a little better but still had some hang ups and did not clean brass up any. plus move load up to 5.2 and no change in soot
The chamber on your upper may be a bit looser than your pistols. Increasing buffer weight and spring tension is very good advise. Years ago I was close to starting on a 45 acp FAL conversion but I never went through with it. I do have a yugo mauser that I converted with a Rhinelander kit. Quiet as a .22 and one hole at 50 yds.
My 9mm AR has alot of soot, its just the bolt opening. It will work with a light buffer, but your really need 2lbs or so of bolt and buffer in a blowback 9mm. Those buffers are available, but not cheap. I made 2 buffers out of brass for $25 with a chunk of brass left for another small project. And I could make it longer so no spacer required in the buffer tube. I know in mine you can use a rifle or carbine spring. Rifle spring will help hold the bolt closed.
