Got this in a trade but don't know if its a H buffer or not. The code on the rubber bumper is: 1005-110360. It's been a long time since I've seen an H-buffer so I don't remember what they look like. Someone took a grinder to whatever was on the front. Have no clue why someone would do that. Help me out if you can. Thx guys   |

the yellow bit on the end might be from Buffertech, or one of the other companies that sell aftermarket buffers. no flats on the face, looks kinda odd. the ground off section is where the "H" would normaly be, if it were an H buffer. dunoo... go to the post office and weigh it. |
|
I'd bet someone ground the face off because they were running the buffer with a bolt carrier that had one hell of a burr on it and it chewed the face of the buffer up... Agreed, weigh it at the PO... CAR - 2.9oz H CAR Style - 3.77oz H2 CAR Style - 4.7oz H3 CAR Style – 5.6oz 9mm - 5.47oz, made of steel |

Yeah, I'd be a little skeptical about that buffer. I've never seen a quality buffer not have the 3 flats on the front. All the cheap Chinese knockoff CAR stocks come with those exact looking buffers. I have a feeling that it was a knockoff "H buffer" and somewhere along the lines someone figured out it wasn't a real H buffer and ground the "H" off. It might work, but I'd also be leary of the quality of the aluminum buffer body. |
nope... look it the pic, the grind is in the center where the bolt carrier would never touch. |
My LMT H buffer has the 3 flats |
My 2 LMT H-buffer have a H and have 3 flat sides |
That is strange. My LMT "H" buffers look like my Colt "H" buffers.

At the gun show in Middletown, NY today Garrison Mfg. Inc. of Wauseon, OH had the exact same buffers as the the that Boom has. I took a good look at it and my guess is that it is Chinese made crap. |
 Iv never seen a LMT buffer like that. I think some one pulled a switharoo on you. |
| I saw a round buffer like the one shown, a couple of weeks ago and it was really well made. It was in an Army (Israeli) CAR-15. I reckon that an army armourer wouldn't put chinese crap in to a gun that NEEDS to be used. (mind you, some of them do plenty of other stupid things). |
|
Can someone help a newby out and explain why the H-buffer is better than OEM? hanks! Huntr |
It helps to further delay extraction, allowing pressures to subside somewhat. This makes the extraction of a spent cartridge easier, because pressures in the case are lower. |
