[ARCHIVED THREAD] - H-buffer

This may be a dumb question, but what the heck is an H-buffer? What's the difference between it and a regular buffer/spring?

in short

the "H" stands for Heavy

meaning the buffer is heavier than a regular standar buffer

this aids in slowing down the bolt upon slamming back towards the shooter....in turn reduces recoil a little bit.

i have an H buffer and have been debating going w/ a 9mm buffer.

Try the 9mm, you'll be glad you did.

So is the 9mm heavier than an h-buffer? Lighter than a standard buffer? What's the deal there?

A standard 9mm buffer is heavier than a regular carbine buffer and the H and H2 buffers. It takes away ~~some~~ most of the harshness of the carbine system. The H3 is a little heavier than a standard 9mm buffer and there are heavier (Colt) 9mm buffers. The H3 is probably the heaviest one that could be used in a 5.56mm carbine as a combat weapon. The heavier 9mm buffers were designed to be used in full auto 9mm carbines.
