Do tell how you hurt your finger.

Lead splashback from the test firing trap. It got me good.

That's no good. It just cut you, or actually get into your finger?

It went in good. 3 pieces, 2 looks like a jacket and one was lead. I should have went to the E.R. but I cut it out myself.

I have to keep a look out for any lead poisioning.

That's why I asked.

Keep an eye on yourself, and get your lead level checked. Lead poision is no fun, just ask the Romans...

*The video was a great touch. Learned the PWS EBT is a touch long, have that remedied now. Seems that little rubber donut was actually there for a reason...

Glad it helped. A spacer is the perfect remedy to help take up the space in the Buffer Tube.

Great video, thanks Chad!

I have an AR57 upper and it comes with a different buffer; now I better understand why and what to look for next time I check the set up. See you helped a totally different issue with the same video.

Hope your finger heals well; and see a doc if you start having any signs.

Stay safe!

Crap. I may have to get my levels checked as well. Been having tingling in the fingertips for the past 2 weeks now.

Caught a .357 SIG jacket/shrapnel in the neck and face back in Feb.

Is a wiener one of the extremities?

 

[BradMacc82]

Is a wiener one of the extremities?

I'd say so, it's the 11th finger.

Great video, thanks Chad!

Ditto!

Anywhere locally to buy a buffer spacer?

I use Washers from the Hardware Store.

I count it as number 1, and all the others come after.

And they go in the tube before the spring and buffer?

 

[clandestine]

Correct. Once you get the right quantity of spacers, you can epoxy them in or just leave them loose if you prefer.

Just be sure to get washers with a small center hole. You don't want a center hole so large it causes damage to the buffer pad or allows a full compresson of the buffer spring (Use the grease test).

For the size of the washer use as large of a diameter you can fit into the tube. You don't want them shifting.
