I recently ordered a Colt H2 carbine buffer.  It came unpackaged and with a stamped "H2" which looks different from the dot matrix "H" of the original buffer in my 6920.  Did I receive an authentic Colt H2 buffer?  Here's a photo comparing the markings on the two buffers.

I have Colt H and H2 buffers stamped like that.  

That being said, it's a buffer, weigh it, if it's the right weight, I wouldn't be terribly concerned about what brand it was.  

There's a decent chance Colt subcontracts them anyways.

The H2 buffer that came in both of my 6920 SOCOM's look like the one in your picture, OP.

Thanks for the replies!  I feel better about paying a little extra for the "Colt" buffer vs a generic brand.  For whatever reason, I just wanted to keep this rifle all Colt as compared to my mutt-AR built in 2013 with Stag receiver and randomly sourced parts.

Specialized Armament. Genuine Colt, and you'll pay for it. I think this is where I got mine.

That h2 buffer looks the same as the one in my m4a1 lower.

I ordered mine from Arms Unlimited.  I hope they're a reputable vendor.

I've bought from Arms Unlimited many times and they have been great.  Buy with confidence.

All of the Colt buffers in my possession have the roll pin slightly sticking out on both sides of the buffer.
I've seen many others , not Colt , that he pin is flush with the buffer.




Not sure how relevant that is ...

As mentioned above, I have noticed on all the Colt carbine buffers I have seen the roll pin is just a bit wider than the buffer body.
On all other carbine buffers I have seen the roll pin is just a bit narrower than the buffer body.

Just received a couple of Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo's yesterday and the buffer is identical to my Colt buffers - pin slightly sticking out of sides and same finish and whatnot ..
Only difference is that is has Geissele Automatics engraved on the face as well as the H-1 that is clearly not the same as the engraved logo.
