I'm trying to balance out a nose heavy rifle.

Is there a chart listing, or does anybody know who makes the heaviest mil-spec tube?  

I'm trying to avoid swapping out my buffer weight until I get the tube squared away. Right now I have an H buffer and it works fine.

Put a Magpul UBR on it, I have one on my government profile upper and it balances out well. The UBR mounts on to it's own buffer tube, it's heavy but solid as a rock. The gen 2 UBR is lighter but I don't have any experience with the new version.

The tubes are going to be pretty much the same.  They inside and outside diameters have to be to spec, so there isn't room for much variation.  They make weights to put into A2 buttstocks if you want to go that far.  I think they weigh like 3 lbs.

V seven weapons has a steal one, probably the heaviest and strongest you can buy.
Only issue its out of stock on their site.
Maybe it can be had elsewhere

Was gonna post this. I've handled one, they're nice. If I needed something like that I'd not hesitant to buy it.

Thanks for help everyone.  I sources an STR stock, I think I might have t figured out with some batteries in the storage tube and testing out an h3 buffer.
