Hi, use them in your 1911. Accuracy Systems recommends not using buffers in the Mini if you want the best accuracy.I picked up. Wilson Combats #2B Shok-Buff Recoil Buffers for a 1911.
Ok so what do I do now?
Thanks

Thats bull crap. Ive used 1911 WC buffers for a long time in my mini-14. 1 on the op rod and 1 on the gas tube. You might have to thin the one on the gas tube down a bit, you might not. I didnt and my mini wouldnt cycle tula ammo but since Im a reloader and dont shoot tula ammo Im ok with that. My handloads and factory ammo cycled just fine.Hi, use them in your 1911.

This. I do not use one on the gas tube. kwgNot very helpful.
I use one on my Mini and it did not make it less accurate from what I can tell. put it on the recoil spring guide rod right where it plugs into the receiver. Some also put one on the gas piston, I don't.
Good info,check it out and do some experimenting.What works in someones mini might not work in yours.Be patient and you will be pleased.The only mod that never worked well in any of mine is the HD recoil spring from ACI.The Mini-14 forum on firearmstalk.com has a great five part sticky section on "Accurizing The Mini-14". Part number two has info, with pictures, on how to install recoil buffers on both ends of the op rod. The whole five part deal has a lot of good info in it, and is well worthwhile to check out. Good luck!!

Accuracy Systems also stocks parts from reputable companies (UltiMAK, Amega, Choate, etc.), removes all references to the original manufacturers (check out their 'Urban Brawler' rail sometime...), then takes the RETAIL price, tacks 30-50% onto that, and sells the part as some 'ASI exclusive.' And don't even get me started on adjustable gas blocks... :lol:Hi, use them in your 1911. Accuracy Systems recommends not using buffers in the Mini if you want the best accuracy.

Where did you find such a recommendation? As mentioned above Accuracy Systems sells their own shock buffers (at a MUCH higher price). They even have directions and pictures on their web sight for installing them. To quote from their web site, buffers are "A must for protecting your scope" and "Protect receiver also"Hi, use them in your 1911.

So much for the mini not being good out passed 100.i have them front and back for years no problems i have 6 coyotes for the year one at about 240 yards so far my longest shot.those guys at acc sys are sales men and there buffs suck big time.
Just try it standard first before making changes. My 582 mini is the same as I bought it a year ago and is performing as expected. IMHO buffers are not necessary introducing variables into performance of the weapon, especially as they wear out, which they will do sooner or later.Thanks for the reply and the sound reasoning. I was curious about how "solid" the setting would be on the adjustable. I am picking up my new gun tomorrow and perhaps just a set of bushings is a better investment. Short list: trigger job, bushings, buffers... (accu strut????? not sure on that one however).
