While I was getting ready to put my AR together I was picking up some of the misc. pieces for the build and needed a buffer. Spikes was running a special on thier ST-2T (heavy tungsten) buffers so I decided to pick one up. On another board I am on I mentioned using this part and I was heavily dissuaded against using it and told to get a standard buffer.
Why is this? Is it to heavy of a buffer? Poor performance? What makes it different than a regular one other than the weight? Why would it not be good to use in the rifle? Discuss |

Discuss Other than weight, the only con i can think of is if you are running a rifle or mid-length gas system. Carbines run rough, so the H2 buffer helps smooth it out. If you don't have the increased gas pressure from a shorter tube, you might have some FTE's. Take this with a grain of salt, cause i'm kind of a noob when it comes to black rifles, but I can read (sometimes).
