Tihon Recoil Buffer for AR-15 – Precise Bolt Impulse Tuning

The Tihon buffer for AR-15 is designed for those who want not just to shoot, but to control recoil.
Optimize your operating system for your specific ammunition, sound suppressor, or muzzle brake, and make the bolt travel smoother and more predictable.

4 Weight Options: H1, H2, H2.5, H3

• H1 – for standard gas system configurations.
• H2 – a universal option for carbines with a muzzle brake or lighter ammunition.
• H2.5 – an intermediate solution for finer tuning of the operating system.
• H3 – for over-gassed systems, shooting with a suppressor without gas relief, and achieving a softer bolt cycle.

By selecting the correct buffer weight, you can reduce perceived recoil, speed up sight recovery, and decrease wear on firearm components.

Materials and Construction

• Body: steel and stainless steel – long service life, corrosion resistance, and stable operation even during intensive firing.
• Tip: impact-resistant molded polyurethane – softens the buffer’s impact against the end of the buffer tube and reduces operating noise of the bolt carrier group.
• Compatibility: standard AR-15 carbine buffer tube (mil-spec/commercial).

The Perfect Pair – Tihon Buffer + Tihon Adjustable Gas Block

You will achieve the maximum tuning effect by combining the Tihon recoil buffer with our
Tihon adjustable gas block. Together, they allow you to:

• finely tune the volume of gas entering the system for specific ammunition, a suppressor, or a muzzle brake;
• reduce over-gassing, harsh bolt movement, and increase overall service life;
• make recoil smoother and the carbine’s behavior more predictable during dynamic shooting;
• reduce the level of fouling inside the operating system.

If you are building your ideal AR-15, a logical step is to install a Tihon adjustable gas block
and select the appropriate Tihon recoil buffer weight. This will give you a controlled, smooth, and stable operating cycle.

Who the Tihon Buffer Is For

• shooters who use a sound suppressor or an aggressive muzzle brake;
• competitive shooters in dynamic disciplines who value fast sight recovery;
• those who want to reduce impact stress on components and extend the carbine’s service life;
• AR-15 owners who want to fine-tune their platform to their personal preferences.

Tihon – when your AR platform works the way you want it to, not just the way it came out of the box.
