[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Recommendations for heavy buffer/buffer spring

Posted: 8/25/2016 5:24:25 PM EDT

Once my F1 is approved (hopefully) I'll be building my first SBR (MK18) and eventually will run it suppressed. I've been told to run it with a heavy buffer and spring. Can you guys please give me some recommendations for both? I've always used a regular mil-spec buffer tube. No sure what to buy.

Thanks!

I just got my stamp for my DDMK18. I'm currently running the factory spring and H buffer. Some people would advise upgrading to the VLTOR A5 stock system with a 6+oz buffer. I think I'm going to go with a Wolff XP buffer spring and either a H2 or H3 buffer. I plan on running mine suppressed 90+% of the time and hope this configuration helps reduce wear and tear.

I run an H3 with Wolf XP spring in mine and also run a Gemtech BCG. Runs smooth as hell and like a top! :)

HeavyBuffers.com XH buffer with Wolf XP spring.

Are you guys running the H3 and the XH buffers with or without adjustable gas blocks? Do you need one if you have the other?

Without adj gas block.

I run just a H buffer suppressed and unsuppressed. No problems ever.

My SBR has an 11.5" barrel, but I run it with a Spinco Blue and an H3. I also just have the A2 FSB. It runs as it should.

Now, when I put my can on my AR-10, that thing is overgassed! I may or may not get a heavier spring for it, but that's a different topic for a different thread.
