The Cobalt Kinetics/ VLTOR A5-CK buffer system is a joint collaboration between both visionary brands in hopes of evolving the current A5 system to an even smoother recoil mitigation system. The raised “anti-tilt” feature on the A5 buffer came into reality from a specific request that we made. Our engineering team noticed that even though carrier tilt is mainly an issue that plagues gas piston systems, carrier/ buffer cavitation is still commonplace in gas impingement systems. We decided to focus our joint design efforts on that to help reduce any unnecessary movement that comes from the “flat on flat” relationship that the carrier and traditional buffers have. The end result is a smoother running version of the A5 system, and a superior buffer system (when compared to dated carbine buffer systems).

Makes for an even smoother action with SOLGW bcg & Sprinco green spring. Would recommend.

Nice upgrade to the A5 system

Nice update to the a5, very well made

Have been waiting for these to pop up, well made like all the VLTOR buffers. Feels smooth and is the right weight for my build.

Been interested in this A5 buffer since I heard about it last year in an interview. The concept is to minimize carrier tilt, which can potentially lead to a more consistent lock up and more accuracy.
