I have a mid-length carbine that's ejecting brass to 2o'clock.
I'm using an SA carrier and a carbine buffer. Although I ordered an FA carrier, I doubt it will be enough to get the brass to around a 3o'clock postion. So I think I'll need a heavier buffer. But the question is, which buffer will give me the result I'm looking for; the H, H2, H3, or Spikes ST-T2?

Any Suggestions?

You might try an H buffer.  Typically the gurus recommend the standard carbean buffer, but I've heard a lot of guys say their middy runs with an H.

Do the gurus like the carbine buffer because it lets them shoot a little faster?

Try the Spikes carbine/9mm buffer with tungsten powder inside for weight distribution and better cycling.

I'm not sure how it works but it works...really well with a 9mm and with my LWRC M6A2 that's an SMG (RDIAS and 10.5" barrel) albeit I don't know if my brass is ejecting exactly at 3:00 but it's close...maybe 2:45?

I'm leaning towards the ST-T2.

Would'nt a 9mm buffer in a 5.56 upper cause problems?

What about a Enidine buffer?
Would it be a bad choice for a rifle with maximum reliability in mind?
