A buffer tube insert includes an elongated portion and one or more projections extending from the elongated portion. The one or more projections are configured for insertion into one or more corresponding notches on a buffer tube. Each projection includes a connection arrangement such as, but not limited to, a threaded interior for receiving a connection member such as, but not limited to, a set screw that can facilitate the restriction of movement between the buffer tube and a gunstock.

A firearm damper and damping system is provided. The elastomeric damper can be retained in a cavity of a firearm component without the use of fasteners or adhesives. The damper can reduce the wear between surfaces that are subject to impact during firing and can extend the life of components such as the frame or receiver.

A firearm comprising an operating group and a buffer system. The operating group may include a recoiling structure configured to translate in a recoil direction from a forward position to a rearward position. The buffer system may include a buffer and an actuator. The buffer may be configured to be compressed in a compression direction from an extended configuration to a compressed configuration. The compression direction may be different from the recoil direction. The actuator may be configured to selectively engage the recoiling structure and the buffer and to cause the buffer to be compressed from the extended configuration to the compressed configuration when the recoiling structure translates from the forward position to the rearward position.
