    for full auto or suppressed firearms I heard the heavier buffer is preferred. Not much use in Canada...eh?

    unless you fire full auto you don’t need a heavy buffer.

    Not true. It slows down cyclic making the gun run smoother and softer. Less wear also. I like to run H2 in all my AR's regardless on gas system.

    I tried a H2 and my LMT DI did not like it at all , so I put a spikes T1 buffer in . Smooth as butter

    Every ar is different, don't be afraid to experiment. A few variables come into play, each typically minor, but add those variables together and your firearm gets a unique personality. Gas tube length, buffer spring, weight/smoothness of bcg, the efficiency of the entire gas system, ammo.....I usually start with an H2 (apx. 4.6oz), seems to work well for me. I really like the spikes t2, slightly lighter than an H2, but uses powder instead of solid weights. It feels smoother to me, but that idea could have been planted in my head from the product description. either way, im happy with it. I haven't owned a rifle length so I can't give much input there (standard h buffer maybe?). All that being said, I am interested in trying out one of these buffers as I would prefer to see my money stay in canada given the option...good price too

    They look pretty slick. Did you guys change the design from a standard carbine buffer? I guess what I'm trying to ask is why such a discrepancy in weight? Or is there only one tungsten weight in there instead of two?

    You should consider selling extra tungsten weights for those that like to experiment. A lot cheaper to swap weights then buy extra buffers.
    Ours have 3 weights and buffers inside them. There is no room left for another weight.
    The housing is the same as all other carbine buffers.

    just reading Patrick Sweeny's excellent book called Gunsmithing the AR-15, and I retract my earlier statement regarding wanting to have my brass fall closer to me. Apparently its right where it is supposed to be.

    BTW, the addition of your brake and buffer make the rifle nicer to shoot. its a carbine length gas system and it shoots softer now.

    I understand that you have three weights inside. My question is how many of them are tungsten and how many stainless? An H buffer has one tungsten and two stainless, H2 has two tungsten and one stainless etc...

    I know that there is no room for more weights. What I was trying to say is that if you sold just the weights then some of us average Joes could take our standard buffers with three stainless weights and mix and match until we found a combo that worked well with our rifle rather than having to buy two or three different buffers.
