Claims (18)

1. A buffer assembly comprising:

a buffer body comprising a first through aperture and an outer surface;

a plurality of magnets positioned along the outer surface of the buffer body;

a hammer comprising a second though aperture, wherein the buffer body is positioned within the second through aperture, wherein the hammer is configured to move between a rest position and an end position along the buffer body, wherein the plurality of magnets are positioned between the buffer body and the hammer when the hammer is in the rest position;

a first spring at least partially positioned within the first though aperture of the buffer body;

a spring guide at least partially positioned within the first spring and at least partially positioned within the first through aperture of the buffer body, wherein the buffer body is configured to move between a forward position and a rear position along the spring guide; and

an end cap removably coupled with the spring guide;

wherein the buffer body comprises a plurality of apertures positioned along the outer surface of the buffer body; wherein the plurality of apertures are configured to accommodate the plurality of magnets.
