| I know there's an advantage to going with an H or H2 buffer on M16s, especially shorties, (learned that the hard way), but is there any pro or con to using them on semi's? And how about those H3s? Why would someone really need those unless it really slows down the cyclic rate? Can you get too heavy on the available buffers? Does anyone run the hydraulic buffer on a 16 and what's your bbl length and ROF? |

I like having extra weight in my rifle heavy buffer. First I use a Wolf extra power spring. I also use extra buffer weights in my gun. I believe it shoots better. It seems to keep my barrel on target better also.

| Heavy buffers (H1, H2, H3, 9MM) have several benefits. They can help reduce felt recoil. Keep the rifle on target for faster follow up shots. Can cure FTF and FTE and jamming problems. They can be used to increase the time the bolt stays locked to the barrel to lessen the stress on the brass. |

My 6.8 LMT prefers the H3 buffer.
However there perfect weight has to be determined by you shooting it. From what I have learned at 6.8Forums, you want the fired brass to eject to the 3 o'clock postition. If it is at one or two o'clock make the buffer/srping heavier and if it ejects to 4 or 5 o'clock make it lighter.
