What buffer are you guys running in your 14.5 inch SOCOMs?

Put a H2 in it.

What do you run in it now, are you having issues?

I am currently putting one together.  I have no experience with the barrel/gas system together.

A 14.5" carbine with a heavy barrel will likely run fine on any every carbine, rifle, and A5 buffer you can find.  

I'd use an H2/carbine extension or a standard A5 setup.

I have a 14.5 standard with carbine length gas and run an h2. Runs like a top!

I've run it twice now with an H buffer with no problems.  It has fed every flavor of 233 and 5.56 just fine.  I put an H2 in my range bag just in case but haven't tried it yet.  Thanks for all the replies.

My complete BCM lower came with a buffer marked H1 (I always just assumed H1 was a regular H buffer, never weighed it).  I have a 14.5" carbine SOCOM profile barrel upper on it and so far it eats everything I shoot.  Feeds and ejects flawlessly.
