buffers have 3 little weights in them. I think its perfectly fine for it to rattle a bit.

It means its been built right.The weights have rubber disics in between them and have to have a little movement with the direction the buffers going in its cycle.Depending on buffer weight standard,H,H2,H3 will have steel a mix of steel and tungsten or all tungsten steel weights.

if your other buffers were spikes tactical, where they are filled with tungsten powder, you wont hear them rattle.

I put an ear plug in mine. No more rattle.

From what I understand, the movement of the weights is necessary to the function of the gun.

Rattle is normal. If it bothers you at all use a spikes st-t2 buffer as itt uses a powder. I use one in my carbine and love it

The movement of the weights after the gun goes into battery prevents "bolt bounce" which can cause an out of battery discharge. Don't mess with it. Drop something solid like a ball bearing or stone on the ground. You'll see what mean.

We would tell recruits that the weights were batteries and their buffer could be used as an emergency flashlight. The cycling of the gun would charge the battery and the plastic tip was the light source. You can simulate the gun firing by shaking the buffer back and forth. You have to do it really hard to simulate the gun cycling and if you do it right the light glows. Nothing like watching 300 trainees shaking the crap out of a buffer with that look of determination saying that they are going to be the first one to get theirs glowing.
