| I'm doing a build based off a BCM 16" mid-length. Is there any reason I should get a Heavy buffer? should I just get the standard BCM stock kit for now? |

Quoted:
best i remember,, i think that BCM sends h-2s with their factory lowers, of which i have three. someone please correct me if i'm mistaken,,,possibly,, i'm old and your memory is the second thing to go––don't remember what the first was. yeah The BCMs do. The midlegth gave me an option for standard H or H2. |

I have been debating this topic for a while now.
I picked up a 14.5" upper a few months back. I put the upper on a RRA complete lower with a standard carbine buffer. The first time shooting it, I noticed that it seemed to recoil pretty harsh, threw the brass way out at 1:00, and put some good sized dents on the brass. I have a feeling that the upper is overgassed and need to add a heavier buffer. I have been debating an H2 buffer. I think that will help slow down the cycling and hopefully correct the ejection issues. Any ideas? |
| I have a 16" BCM midlength on one of my rifles and I use a regular carbine buffer and an H buffer depending on what kind of ammo I am using. I shoot a lot of wolf ammo through the gun and I use the carbine buffer because the gun runs a little sluggish with an H buffer and low powered wolf ammo. If I am using ammo loaded to 5.56 specs then I use the H buffer and it runs like a top. I could use either buffer for both loads and probably be fine but I like tinkering with my rifles. |
I have an RRA 14.5 carbine length upper and it had a violent recoil. spikes st-t2 buffer and tubb flat spring and enhanced buttpad helped a little, replaced a standard semi auto carrier with an lmt enhanced FA carrier this weekend and shot of a couple hundred rounds...  , feels much better and cycles all the ammo i shot with zero problems. i'm thinking of removing the enhanced buttpad and getting a 9mm buffer
