Anybody know where I can get the Blackjack Uzi Buffers 3-pack besides Red Star Arms? The Red Star Arms website is very old. I emailed them and got no response to my questions. Not about to input my cc info on a website from 1997 unless I know its real.
I want to experiment with different buffer lengths to see if I can make my semi-auto McKay gun run more reliably. It currently stovepipes every 5th or 6th round. I thought by using a shorter buffer and slowing things down it might help with reliable ejection. The buffer it currently has is 1-3/4" long, typical for a semi-auto gun. The Blackjack set has three different lengths, stepping down 1/4" starting at 1-1/4".
FWIW I've tried 115 gr and 124 gr ammo w/ the same stovepipe effect. The top cover gap is on the lower end of acceptable using a feeler gauge. I notice this gap improves when I remove the buffer. So I had the idea to try different buffers before I go beating the top cover with a mallet, which seems like a highly unscientific way of fixing an expensive toy.
Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.
