When you fire a round, the pressure from the propellant sending the bullet forward sends the bolt back, which readies the hammer and ejects the spent brass from the chamber via the ejection port. The buffer sends the bolt forward, which strips a new round from the magazine and puts it into the chamber.

What does AR in AR-15 mean?

The "AR" in AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite Rifle," named after the company ArmaLite, which developed the firearm in the late 1950s. It does not stand for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle." The design was intended for use by the U.S. military, but it has since become popular for civilian use in various contexts.


What is the difference between an AR-15 rifle buffer and an AR-15 carbine buffer?

Because the carbine has a shorter barrel than the rifle, at the time the bullet passes the gas port the gas behind it is higher pressure. This means the carbine will flow more gas at higher pressure into the action during the firing cycle than the rifle. The mass of the buffer and the spring constant of the buffer spring must be matched to control the energy provided by this flow for reliable operation (ie- don't unlock the bolt and attempt to extract too soon or too late). You can actually get a variety of buffer weights to help address timing problems. Lots of folks with worn barrels (eroded gas ports) find that going to a higher mass buffer can let them maintain reliable operation and delay barrel replacement, though accuracy still suffers from the wear.
