[QUOTE="aestus, post: 2039328, member: 2989"] If everything else in your rifle is spec, then functionally nothing. The lack of buffer weights will only increase bolt bounce and felt recoil. Bolt bounce is almost a non-issue for semi-auto anyways. For full auto, limiting bolt bounce is fairly important. The biggest difference is felt recoil and increased lockup time. A heavier buffer will make the recoil feel softer. This is mainly because the increased lock time will cause a delay in the bolt cycling instead of cycling earlier when gas pressures are higher. This also has a benefit of being easier on the internals of the rifle. Stuck shell casing, ripped case rims, FTE, ect can be associated with not enough lock time before the bolt cycling. [/QUOTE]
