Leave it alone. Too heavy a buffer may cause cycling problems.

Quoted: I currently have a H2 buffer in my 16" carbine and it throws brass in the recommended 3:30-4:00 direction. If I go to a heavier H3 buffer to help reduce recoil, will it work? I don't want to add weight to the rifle to reduce the felt recoil - just wondering if a heavier buffer might help. Also, Consider a muzzle brake, or a different recoil pad, there are really good ones for various Magpul stocks. |

The recoil doesn't bother me (i.e. hurt me) - the rifle just seems like a handful and I don't want it to beat itself to death. But I did build it as a lightweight, so I should have expected that it would be a lively fellow.
I'll leave well enough alone and try playing around with less powder. Thanks gentlemen. |

More reciprocating mass will increase felt recoil.
How big is your gas port? |

I only use hydraulic buffers in AR pattern rifles.
MHO, YMMV, etc. |

Leave it and start lifting heavy things made of metal.
The gun is fine. Make you better. |

 I have chased the ejection pattern and clocking of the brass and I have a few AR's that dont follow the rules. I have one H3 buffer in my collection and one that is 8 OZ in my Larue 308. After that, every thing else is H or H2. NOTE: I need to check the 8 OZ in the Larue, it is from Slash at Heavy Buffers and is the only way my 762 OBR will cycle suppressed. |

Nothing wrong with your gun. Leave it be and practice shooting with it. You'll gain more control over it with time. Not at all criticizing your ability. Just saying that with time you'll develop techniques to control muzzle climb and get back on target faster. As someone else mentioned, adding reciprocating mass doesn't reduce recoil. It just slows it down and spreads it out. Your shit sounds pretty well dialed in. Take the money you'd spend on swapping parts, buy ammo and practice with it. The more you use it the more it will just feel "right". Give it time to grow on you. It will

I reload and shoot over 2,000 rounds per year in my 15 lb A2 competition rifle, but this carbine is the first time I've been exposed to a lightweight AR15. I'm not scared of it, it doesn't hurt me, and I know exactly how to control it - I'm just not accustomed to a rifle being so rambunctious. |
