Forward Controls Design RBF Reinforced Buffer Retainer
RBF (Reinforced Buffer retainer, FCD) is a strengthened AR buffer retainer machined with Swiss machines from 17-4 stainless steel bar stock, and heat treated to H900 hardness. RBF features a reinforced tip that is 10% larger (0.102) than TDP spec (0.093). We don’t want RBF to be timed (as the case with a rectangular tip), so RBF retains the TDP buffer retainer’s versatile round tip, and is installed per TM instructions. 10% is as much as we could increase before encountering receiver extension timing incompatibilities.
- Always wear eye protection while handling springs under pressure, spring loaded pins and detents.
- RBF isn’t a fix for out of spec lowers with incorrectly positioned buffer retainer hole. If you detect excessive wear marks on the buffer’s front face, it’s advisable to warranty exchange your lower receiver.
- Compatible with PWS Enhanced carbine receiver extension.
- Receiver extensions (REs) timing on the receiver can vary. While the an RE can rotate past dead center (with the RE covering and retaining the buffer retainer) by 45 degrees or more on one receiver, it might only be able to do 15 degrees or less on another. Also, different REs have different timing values.
