| I put together a 16" mid length with a H-2 buffer. Now I'm having 2nd thought's. Maybe I should have went with a H buffer. I new to this and would appreciate your opinions. Thanks in advance. |

Quoted:
I used to run H2 buffers in my BCM 16" middys until the shot timer proved I was significantly faster on followup shots using the std carbine buffer. Tomac That's interesting. Assuming you shot them back to back, any theories as to why? I notice a slight reduction in felt recoil so it's been a habit to throw an h2 or equivalent in every ar I own. I don't shoot 3 gun anymore so I'm just curious as to why your splits improved. |

This can also be achieved with a stiffer buffer spring. On the other hand, you would see a faster rate of fire with a lightweight BCG, lighter buffer, etc. However, it is important to understand that effectively slowing down the action results in a consistent and reliable weapon system. |

I understand all of that. It's just that I didn't think it would make much difference, if any, on the timer. I shot 3gun for just over a year so I didn't become as fast as the more experienced guys. Probably explains why I might not recognize a difference in split times, whereas others with more 3gun experience would. |

I used to just use carbine buffers in all my 16" middies. But lately I've switched over to H buffers. I moved that one step up in weight just to smooth out the action/recoil, yet retain the reliability aspect (enough oomph to easily still work dirty/cruddy). Even with an H, they're still a tad over gassed, which is the way I prefer it.
Nothing wrong with carbine buffer though, they always worked for me too. |
