AR15 heavy buffers

4oz? Hmm, that's barely an H2.

Will you be making them heavier ?
I've been running 6oz, and would probably be looking for another if I started another carbine lower builds.
I'd much rather buy Canadian and $60 is about the same price I'd pay for another one of what I have now.

These run every 1 of our guns well, so do not see any point in making heavier 1s, at least until there is some demand.
 
Yeah I am new to the AR world, can someone direct the unwashed masses to a source that explains when different weighted buffers should be used? I have a 14.5 inch barrel AR.

What exactly does a buffer do? :redface:

Hey Max

The buffer sits inside the buffer spring which sits in the stock of the rifle and it is what makes the rifle cycle full-auto or in repetition. It sits directly behind the bolt carrier and when a round is fired the gas return throws back the bolt carrier(ejecting the brass along the way)into the buffer, compressing the spring which eventually forces the carrier forward to pick up and chamber another round completing the cycle.

I don't own an AR but I've put a lot of rounds down range with the C7 and my guess is that a heavier buffer would slow down the cycling of the rifle in an attempt to remedy stoppages, but I'm no weapons tech and am curious as well.

Hope that helps.

Thanx Emu paste.

I have read people typing about them all the time on here but never understood what they actually did.

I did follow the Google link that was posted above. So far it looks like a don't need a different one for my purposes, yet.

Unless you are having issues or your recoil impulse is incredibly violent, you are likely okay.

You mention H2 in your original post. Obviously comparisons will be drawn between the two. The weight would be closer to an H buffer.

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.
 
I have one of these, and I like it. I would be up for another weight tho. My rifle has lots of gas apparently, as it STILL chucks the empties 8 feet to my 5 oclock. I like that its got lots of gas pressure as I would guess it keeps the system clean, and always cycling.
