I am on another build trip. I have several Spikes Tactical T2 buffers that use tungsten powder instead of steel and tungsten discs.
Not sue if they are the cause, but I NEVER heard the AR twang until I used a lower without the T2 buffer. Getting an AR10, going to make a heavy rifle buffer. Purchased a bottle dog ear tipping weight tungsten. It was the best price for pure tungsten, $14 for 3 ounces of powdered tungsten. Going to take the AR10 buffer apart and put the powdered tungsten in. Hoping for another two to three ounces. Heavy AR10 buffers are VERY EXPENSIVE ($125). Standard rifle weight is 5.4 ounces, Heavy Buffers makes a 303 stainless 10 ounce buffer. |
| Tap the bolt out make some plugs then locktite the inner one in first fill the rear part of the bolt with tungsten then cap it with another steel plug using locktite. That should give u a few more ounces... I had to do that with my beowulf bolt. Helped out a ton.. |

Been making my own buffers for many years with 304 stainless and tungsten powder.
Made them for many rifle and pistol builds and its nice to have buffers that don't rattle and clap when shooting suppressed + you can fine tune them too. 
and even done a few carriers too
