I understand that the LMT lower comes with a carbine buffer. I plan on using a BCM auto BCG with a 16" LMT upper. Is the carbine buffer gtg or do I need to use an H buffer? I know that ultimately the answer is whichever cycles the bolt reliably but I am curious if anyone would anticipate a problem with the carbine buffer.
I plan on using 5.56 ammo but could envision using 223 at some point in the future. |

I would shoot with what the gun has in it, before you start dicking with it, and then post another thread of where the gun doesn't cycle. I don't understand why all the newbis think you need to mess with the buffer and springs right out the door. Shoot it!!!!! ETA would you replace the drive train in a new car becuase you thought it might be "bad" |

I always get a kick out of people wanting to modify things before ever using them. I was issued M16A1/M16A2/M4 rifles and never had to mess with the buffers on any of them. Never had to go 'high speed' on any AR either.
The only time I messed with a buffer was on a M60 to change the rate of fire. |

All of this. I'm running a BCM middy with a standard carbine buffer in it (a big no no these days according to the hive mind) and it eats anything I run through it. 55 gr Wolf WPA to 77 grain Black Hills and everything in between. It shoots it all just fine. I have heavier buffers sitting in my parts bin in the event I ever have problems but I see no reason to mess with it. I would trust it with my life. If you find your rifle is temperamental with a certain load you like to shoot, then start messing with it. |

Well, to be fair, you don't have a lot of options for rifle buffers, and a Colt M4 comes with an H buffer. |

I think the H buffer would be a good move, but would break in the thing first. Just my .02 |
