I own a pump-action rifle with AR15 aesthetics that's similar to this one.
Last time I cleaned the rifle, it occured to me that it features a buffer spring in the buttstock just like an actual AR15. Now I'm a bit confused: The system is locked during firing and is anyway not actuated by rapid forces like gas pressure or recoil, but (comparably slowly) by manual action. What is a massive buffer spring for in that manual system?
