Geissele sells tungsten weights individually for their super 42 buffer system. Just not sure if that weight is compatible with standard carbine buffers.
Here ETA: or you could just buy a standard carbine and H3 buffer or H and H2 buffer and have everything you need. |

I ordered these recently, haven't opened any buffers yet to compare them to anything but they look good:

unbranded has aluminum, steel, and tungsten at good prices. I believe $6 per tungsten. I go to them for cheap small parts, but shipping is like $10 so its a good idea to make a good purchase instead of little pieces at a time.

The ones currently on ebay look pretty rough. I'd go with KAK for the price of shipping.

You asked about steel weights and everyone gave you ideas where to buy Tungsten weights
 . When switching weights, people are usually looking for the cheapest way to raise buffer weight because most ARs come with carbine buffers.
If you are looking for steel weights, I would just buy a cheap carbine buffer from Ebay and 'steal the steel' out of it. You can find a carbine buffer for around $10. If you already have Tungsten weights you could also just replace Tungsten weights with a spacer, assuming you have something around to use as a spacer. |

A little backstory on my situation and why I’m looking for steel weights - I got a good deal on a VLTOR A5H4 buffer and need to lighten it up. As a matter of fact I did get a cheap carbine buffer, but it had one long weight in it instead of 4 individuals. I cut a chunk off and filed it down to size to make an A5H3, but that was a big pain in the ass. I took this setup to the range and everything ran fine with m193, but switching to .223 produced a bunch of FTF malfunctions. Before anyone asks - yes I have the proper buffer tube and a rifle spring. |
