Product Description
Upgrade your AR-15’s recoil system with the VLTOR SP-1 Buffer Kit—built to mil-spec standards for dependable cycling on carbine-length setups. This kit pairs a standard 3oz carbine buffer (3.25" OAL) with a carbine action spring, backed by VLTOR’s lockplate (end plate) and castle nut for a secure, rattle-free install. The result? Smooth recoil impulse, consistent bolt lock, and the kind of repeatable reliability you want whether you’re dialing in a new build or refreshing a trusted rifle.
Why it’s great for real use
At the range or in a carbine class, the SP-1 provides predictable function shot-to-shot, keeping your focus on sight picture and trigger press—not on inconsistent cycling. It’s a straightforward, proven kit that just works.
