Heavy as you can while maintaining as high a level of reliability as possible. But its always going to be a tradeoff....
The 10.5 will run w/ H3s...but its gotta be 100% w/ all other variables...100% full power factory ammo etc.... A PRI Fatboy on the 10.5's also something to consider......GTG w/ the H3 too...... /S2 |

If you already have a H, H2, or H3 buffer, try it and see how you like it. Another (cheaper) option is the heavier 9mmm buffers, but as already pointed out, reliability is what ends up being most important.

Noveske has done a lot of testing with the H2 and found this to be the most reliable setup. I think an H3 would work as well, but don't have a lot of testing to back this up. C4 |

Tac2cal...go w/ that...there's an awful lot of spent brass backing that research I'm sure of it..... Noveske's stepped up to the 10.5" set up in big way..... /S2 |

My 10.5 runs 100% with an H buffer. See no need to go any heavier. A heavier buffer MAY effect reliability.

A heavier buffer should pay dividends in longer bolt life.
If your rifle will cycle an H3 on Wolf ammo, it will work like gangbusters with .mil loads. |

It might also enhance it and cut down recoil (allowing for faster follow up shots). C4 |

I have had great luck with my H2 buffer, Wolff HD extractor spring, and LMT standard bolt & carrier w/ Adco CRANE o-ring set-up so far. As a matter of fact I have yet to have a single malfuction other than one bad primer. My LMT/Noveske/LaRue 10.5" runs like a top.

I use a Colt 9mm buffer with a standard-weight ISMI chrome-silicon spring in my 11.5" with Krink brake. It cycles perfectly in all positions with XM193 or Q3131A. I also have a heavy extractor spring with a Crane o-ring in it. I haven't (and won't) shoot any Wolf through it.
Edit for more : I am using a Colt bolt and M16 carrier, as well. |

Anything that can increase the 'moment of inertia' and help the bolt in carbine length gas systems stay locked longer will greatly decrease the chance of breaking the two lugs on opposite sides of the extractor.

I run a Colt 5.4 oz. 2 pc. buffer in my M16.. Perfectly reliable.. You can run pretty much whatever you want.. Ill bet you wont have any problems with any set up you try.
