Parker----My M1A is not hard on brass. It has a positive tight extractor but it doesn't trash my brass like an FAL or the like (it does leave a bit of evidence that the round was violently extracted at some point of its life however it's only around the rim in the form of a small indent.) Fulton Armory has a buffer...I have no idea whether or not it works as you'd like. I have NM'd my M1A with Sadlak and it's very smooth and clean all around so I've not felt the need to worry about brass...a least not for what this rifle was designed to do.
