Actually, the Buffer Technologies is made of a "rubbery" polymer type material that does reduce felt recoil.
I purchased mine for the anti impact wear capabilities on my L1a1 but was pleasantly surprised for the reduction in felt recoil.

The ones I shot with military ammo were about like a .30-30 or less.

I have a Marlin 30-30 that kicks pretty damn hard. My AR-15, now there's a gun with light recoil.

A recoil buffer is a piece of plastic that goes between the two pieces of metal that make contact in an arm during the cycling of the action... it protects the metal parts from banging into each other not your shoulder. Recoild buffers usefulness is "debateable".

An SKS has allmost no recoil to speak of. Only a 22 rifle has less that I know of. maybe a thirty carbine.

I am not familiar with English gunsmith terminology, but I know the rules applied to the word-building of complex terms in the Germanic languages, English language including.
The general rule for it is such that several words put together have something to do with each other. And the term is RECOIL BUFFER.
"Almost no recoil to speak of " means for me "very small recoil". In other words, "there is recoil, small though". And 2,689 internet links also mention "SKS recoil".

Put the SKS stock against your biceps and fire a round, then tell me if you felt any recoil.
From the posts by SubaroS and my reply to him it is obvious that in the "lay-down"shooting position, with the "unfit" stock, the recoil of SKS can be felt as "pretty powerful".
The end of discussion.

I take it that during your training you fired it in more than just one position. What was your perception of it while being fired standing or from a bench?

At the range we only fired from three positions : while "standing", "from the knee", and "laying down". I only remember the last one.
Firing with any kind of support was mainly reserved for shooting manuals. I never did it when on active duty (25 years ago).

Honey, I have been a sharpshooter for 37 years already. Save your face for your butt.

Sorry, butt I wasn't assigned to the sniper's position. I was at the time more like Pvt Zaitsev who had to kill 30 Nazis in Stalingrad before he was honored with the assigned sniper position and given sniper's rifle.

Well, you're either just an incredibly wussy individual or have the most craptacular shooting technique evar. SKS is a pop gun compared to most high-powered rifles.

Vogel, nowhere in this thread was I conparing SKS to anything else. You have to talk to all these guys who do such a comparison.

The positive thing from this discussion is that I was corrected to some extend and the guy who needed the answer got the whole information.

And you are still stuck on "wussy individual" thing. Don't make yourself rediculous.
The discussion is over already.

If you want to talk about "wussies", start a new thread. I don't think that will be of any intrest to anybody except you.

One of my friends had to order such a piece of plastic from the US (!!!) for his Saiga-410. He ordered a recoil buffer that fits all AK versions. The main result was that his gun became maybe two times less loud.

Saiga is a mysterious weapon. With many brands of ammo it's unable to reload, while at the same time it has severe impact wear on the rear side of bolt box (zatvornaya korobka). And Russian industry can't produce a $0.1 piece of plastic as a recoil buffer!
