M*CARBO buffer

Has anyone yet tried the new M*CABRO buffer? Per their site it dampens the impulse equal to the tacticool buffer but is thin enough to be able to lock the bolt back, with it in place.
A neat idea if it realy works as a good buffer.

I used the Tacticool buffer but cut it down by 50% so I could lock the charging handle back. Combined with the Sumo heavy charging handle and a Tacticool bolt tube cover recoil is now negligible. And I don’t get tooth/jaw ache from shooting it! Made a bunch of other mods too but these are critical. Mounting a red dot on a high mount also helps as you have to get a very low check weld in order to use the iron sights. I swapped out the foreend with one from Red Lion Precision and added their rails and then a Sig Romeo5 red dot. Magic off the shoulder at 50 yards!

Sorry I was talking about the Tacticool buffer not M*Carbo’s. M*Carbo’s was on their website but not in production when I needed one. Tacticool’s design allows you to take slices off it easily to adjust the length of pull of the charging handle against maximum/minimum recoil available based on the length.

The buffers I received from M*Carbo was too thick, and one side wasn't flat, same as in the pictures I have borrowed from above. I trimmed the uneven side down with a cutting bit in a Dremel. I managed to get them thin enough to allow the bolt to lock back easily. The buffer combined with the M*Carbo tube cover does make the gun nicer to shoot.
