Description
Bravo Company built the MK2 Recoil Mitigation System around the same intermediate-length concept that made the A5 platform popular, then engineered their own patented buffer to take it further. The whole idea is spreading the recoil impulse out over a longer travel distance so your rifle cycles smoother and pushes straight back instead of jumping. Instead of hunting down a separate receiver extension, spring, and buffer to piece together an A5-style setup, you get a matched kit that drops right onto a standard mil-spec lower.
The T2 buffer in this kit weighs in at 5.6 ounces, which puts it in the sweet spot for heavier-recoiling builds. It's a strong match for larger calibers like 7.62×39, 300 Blackout, and 6.5 Grendel, and plenty of folks run it on shorter or suppressed 5.56 uppers to slow down an overgassed cycle. That extra buffer weight paired with the M16A4 rifle spring gives you a noticeably softer push, keeps the reticle settled through the shot, and cuts down on the metallic boing you hear from cheaper carbine setups.
What Makes the MK2 Mod 1 Buffer Tick
Inside the buffer is an internal counterweight with increased travel plus a small spring that keeps that weight seated consistently. That's what knocks down bolt bounce and keeps carrier velocity steady from shot to shot, which is where the reliability and accuracy gains come from. The receiver extension is 7075-T6 aluminum, hard coat anodized in matte black, and runs about three-quarters of an inch longer than a carbine tube with eight adjustment positions for the stock.
Fitting the MK2 RMS Mod 1 T2 to Your Build
This is a complete assembly, so installation is the same as swapping any buffer tube. One thing worth knowing before you order: because the MK2 extension is longer than a standard carbine tube, some collapsible stocks won't close all the way flush against the castle nut. The buffer is designed to run only with the BCM MK2 receiver extension and M16A4 rifle spring included here, so keep the kit together as a system rather than mixing in other parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers is the MK2 Mod 1 T2 buffer best for?
The 5.6-ounce T2 buffer is a strong pick for heavier-recoiling builds like 7.62×39, 300 Blackout, and 6.5 Grendel. A lot of people also run it on short-barreled or suppressed 5.56 uppers where the extra weight helps slow down an overgassed action. If your rifle runs on the softer side, one of the lighter T-series buffers might suit it better.
Do I need special parts to install the BCM MK2 recoil mitigation system?
No, this ships as a complete kit with everything needed to mount to a standard mil-spec lower receiver. You get the buffer, the MK2 receiver extension, the M16A4 spring, castle nut, and QD end plate in one box. Installation is the same process as swapping any buffer tube assembly.
Will my collapsible stock fit on the MK2 receiver extension?
It will fit any mil-spec diameter stock, but keep in mind the MK2 extension is about three-quarters of an inch longer than a standard carbine tube. Because of that added length, some stocks may not collapse all the way closed against the castle nut. You still get eight positions of adjustment to dial in your length of pull.
Can I use the MK2 buffer with a different spring or buffer tube?
The T2 buffer is designed to work as a system with the included BCM MK2 receiver extension and M16A4 rifle spring. Mixing in other components isn't recommended since the parts are tuned to function together. Keeping the kit intact is the way to get the smooth cycling and reduced bolt bounce it's built for.
