2) How can I install shock buffers on my recoil spring? Where can I buy buffers?
I would like to keep my gun in stock condition (can't afford upgrades) but would like to use propane gas due to its cheaper price (i've used two bottles of duster gas but its really expensive and finding the 134a version is so hard now)
Your help is most appreciated! Thank you!

1). JB Weld can be bought at your local hardware shop. It's pretty much like putty and glue mixed into one. lol.
You have to disassemble your front chasis (the part where the slide rails are) and putting the JB Welding under neath. This method was invented and popularized by another ASC User with the callsign RacingManiac. The idea is to offshoot the brute kinetic force of the slide movement directly onto the chassis, skipping the front screw all together. By JB Welding the frame to the chassis, it will remove the stress from the front screw itself since the chassis will no longer be held in place by that screw. I've experimented with other methods, but this method seems to work best. I'm still trying to get it right, TBH.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE YOU JB WELD, YOU WILL PERMANENTLY AFFIX YOUR CHASIS TO YOUR FRAME. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM APART ONCE YOU LET THEM BOND TOGETHER.
2). Unfortunately, without the proper age verification, I can not disclose information regarding acquisition of anything airsoft. Forum rules...unless someone corrects me and in which case I will answer your question. In any case, a typical shock absorption system will look something like this that I custom made for a client of mine:

The side effect of having shock buffers on a spring guide (depending on how much you put on) is that it will disengage your slide catch (short stroking). You'll have to count your shots or BB trace every shot to know when the magazine is empty.
This DOES NOT guarantee the safety of your screw post but it will pro long its longetivity and the longevity of the stock slide since the force of the slide movements will be dampened.
3). If you're running a stock form with green gas, I definitely suggest installing some shock buffers. You will break your front screw post running on Green Gas especially at the full-auto rate of fire of your G18c.
But you may want to consider switching your slide to a metal one just because if it's not that screw post that messes up, it's the slide.
If you want to run on stock without mods, keep using duster gas. I think The Source carries some cheap ones. Though it's been a while since I made a visit there. They're dodgy little bastards...
