Brand new to the Keepshooting.com store is the G3 buffer screw. Like most screws, the G3 buffer screw is designed for use as a fastener. This particular screw, which is an original part made by Heckler & Koch for the G3 rifle, was manufactured specifically for the G3’s buffer assembly.

The G3 buffer is an important component of the rifle. It is designed to reduce recoil by way of a heavy spring housed inside the buffer casing. The spring serves to absorb and release the energy created by the rifle’s action. Almost equally important is the buffer screw, as it is used to install the buffer. Its purpose is to secure the buffer to the rifle’s butt stock, inside the back plate.

You can imagine the beating a buffer takes and the resulting wear and tear on its parts, so it’s probably a good idea to stock up on G3 buffer parts while they’re cheap and readily available. For $5.95, you will receive three buffer screws.
