Yeah don mick tnkz for the recommending I got mine from the same store *immaglockdealer on Wickr * is reliable and legit
I have a question: Do I need a heavier or lighter buffer when I use a suppressor? I tried to use mine and it was making both my AR rifles jam. It was causing the primers to be blown out of the shell casings. Have you heard about anything like that happening?
thanks for the great video. Subscribed immediately. I combined a V Seven 11.25 308 Upper with a LaRue lower and put a Tailhook plus a Sylvan Arms folder on it. I was worried about the buffer spring and weight. After watching this video I chose spring and weight and it runs like a dream!
The best informative video about buffers, clear explanation, quality sound and picture, and no none sense, thank you.
What’s the best to run on a 556 10” barrel
Do you have a video on the combination of springs to use with the buffer or does any spring work
That is one nice buffer you got there
I have a mid length gas system in 16 inch 223 wylde is is safer to just to go just to go with a H1 buffer?
What would you recommend if running a 10.5” .556? A 4oz or 5oz? Would both be okay?
Thanks. This MAY be the answer to my problem.
Hmm… just bought an H2 for my 9” 300 blk out build. I wonder if it would cycle suppressed/non suppressed and subs/supers
whats the best buffer weight for 300blk
Dumb question, but, would you need different buffer springs for a standard rifle compared to a ar pistol?
Also, are you solely referring to the ar 15? And not a PCC? What about for a 9mm rifle?
How do you determine which buffer you need? I am getting empties throws at 1 to 3 and want them thrown to 3 to 4 pm. S&W MP 15.
Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!!!!
Want to add the best upgrade to your AR15, 10, 9mm you can???? This upgrade blew my son in law away, talk about a game changer as far as accuracy, kick back, my 4 year old granddaughter can and has shot my AR15, AR10 .308, AR9mm(under my supervision of course), it loves to shoot my guns now. The upgrade is the:
JPEnterprise No Kick buffer
Or
Arma Spec Stealth buffer
Either one works super, no spring slinky sound in buffer tube but my guns shoot like a .22.
JPE is kinda expensive paying for the name I feel coming in at 136.00-150.00 range.
Armaspec can find fir 44.00-69.00, buy one today, and if it doesn’t change your game email me I’ll buy it from you
What about springs?
I noticed my 16" mid gas AR was ejecting to the 1:00 / 2:00 position. I tried the next step up to the H-1 ( 3.8 0z) buffer. Ejection moved to the 3:00/ 4:00….great. Then the first time ever fail to lock bolt open after last shot. So…back to the 3 oz and a slightly forward ejection. Is there a change of buffer spring that would balance this? I need a video about springs…maybe.
so .223 55g with 16wylde barrel which buffer weight i get?
H or H2 ?
I just built my first ar-15 and cant get it to cycle I have a rifle length gas system and a rifle length buffer tube and buffer on a 20 inch barrel. What should I do.
This answered so many questions for me, thank you for this vid!
With a H2 = 4.6oz buffer my weapon is ejecting at or about 3 to 3:30. With the 3 oz buffer, it is ejecting the shells at about 2 o'clock. Most civilian rifles are over ⛽
Really liked the video. Good for a new AR owner. I’d love to see all of this along with a brief comparison to those “quiet” buffer options where some seem to be adjustable while others seem to be fixed weight, which makes choosing more difficult.
If you suspect a buffer adjustment may fix your problem buy the H3 buffer. Using the different combination of weights between your standard buffer(3 lighter steel weights) and the H3(3 heavier tungsten weights) you should be able to come up with a combo that works for just about any AR.
What's the best buffer and Spring for a 450 Bushmaster ?????
Outstanding information! Thank you Sir!
What Buffer & spring would you suggest for a 450 Bush with a 20" barrel?
Im having cycling issues (failure to feed & sometimes extract) but i don't have a table full of buffers & springs to test, so before i go spend a lot of money (ammo included) i would like an expert opinion.
