KynSHOT Recoil Buffers
About KynSHOT
KynSHOT is manufactured by KYNTEC Corporation, founded in 2012 by a team of industry experts with over 40 years of experience in shock, vibration, and recoil mitigation technology.
The company started with "a calculator and pencil in a small back office in downtown Buffalo" when founders realized hydraulic buffers could be improved using aerospace and defense industry technology.
From humble beginnings, KYNTEC has grown to 10 employees with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Buffalo, New York, becoming ISO 9001:2015 certified and ITAR registered.
The company revolutionized recoil management in firearms through patented hydraulic damping technology, earning trust from competition shooters, law enforcement, and the U.S. military.
Today, KynSHOT has become the "industry standard in buffer technologies" with a sole focus on customer needs and innovative motion control solutions.
