I ordered a non name brand H2 buffer. The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the package was there was no movement inside the buffer. My other standard and H buffers have "balls" that roll back and forth when shook. Is this H2 buffer broke? Or solid maybe?
Should I use a solid H2 buffer? It sure seems to slam the bolt home hard..... Thanks for the help guys! Phil |

Not normal, disassemble it and see what's up. Maybe one of the rubber pads was cut large or something and is hanging up.
ETA: It's not a critical issue either. I think the buffer's deadblow effect is to help with bolt bounce. As long as the rifle functions correctly, it won't hurt anything. |

If dead blow doesn't matter for semi-auto and it weights correctly, why is it a POS again? People actually pay extra for silent buffers (Spikes ST-T2, PWS). Because if a manufacturer advertised it as being an "H2" buffer while taking a shortcut like this, that's chickenshit. Now if they said "H2 weight buffer" or something else that indicated that it wasn't a genuine article, that'd be something else. |

What does it weigh? What was inside? Is it possible that a company sent a 9mm buffer out the door instead of an H2 by mistake? The buffer weighs 5oz. It appears to be solid cast with enough drilled out to install and pin the rubber bumper. What concerns me is there is no back and forth action inside the buffer. It's solid. Is that a problem? I've never seen one that didn't have weights that slid back and forth inside. Is that going to be harder on the action? Harder recoil? I'm going to call the company and talk to them before I post the up here and talk to them. |

Someome with more knowledge will be able to confirm/deny that. I would use the right buffer for the job. |

The buffer was bought for a suppressed 10.5" 5.56. |

No name buffers are no bueno. The bumper I s alot of the time cheap plastic on the shitty ebay no name buffers. Ive seen the bumper break apart in person. Decent/good bumpers are much sronger/better made All of my guns have UTG or Sportsmans guide $25 M4 stocks. I have not had a problem yet. |

Bolt bounce is rarely an issue with semi auto firearms, but if you want to run a bump stock or shoulder bump then you it can become a problem. This isn't full auto:  |
