| Is the buffer that Colt installs in their 11.5" Commando 5.56mm SMG the same as the 9mm two-piece buffer or is it the same as the M4 "H" buffer or is it another type of buffer? |
|
Can't say for sure, since I've not seen any new production Commandos, but since they used the, at the time, standard Carbine buffer in the XM177E2s during the past, I'd strongly suspect they'd go with the current M4 buffer in any current production; ie, the H buffer. Just a hunch tho [:D]. |

"C" & "H" buffers are for use in shorty stock. One is heavier than the other. Will make no difference which one you use for semi-auto, but 1 will run faster than the other in the full-auto mode. There is only 1 buffer for the full size stock. EDIT: I can't spell correctly sometimes. |
| Thanks for the info guys. I looked on biggerhammer.net and they show the standard semi-auto carbine buffer, the M4 "H" buffer and the 9mm 2-piece mechanical buffer. I can't seem to find out anything about a "C" buffer. Also, can the 9mm 2-piece mechanical buffer be used in a 5.56mm M4? I am looking for info on heavier buffers to solve a bolt-bounce/rate-of-fire problem on a full-auto RR shorty. Thanks again. |
