    If this thread is no longer dormant and has been resurrected via necronomicon ex mortis, I have discovered that one can make an H2 or H buffer by taking the tungsten weights out of an H3, and putting them in the proper order with one of the steel weights from the ubiquitous standard carbine buffers I'm sure we all have lying around. Thus, I only buy H3 buffers, and then can switch it down to an H2 or H as needed, or back up to an H3-- and I now have a use for the standard buffers...

    I just read this post and the subject is still interesting. It may be a never ending quest,,the selection of the perfect buffer. The last carbine I owned was a Colt XM [15?] type with the 11 ish inch barrel and 6?inch muzzle brake I hated carbines ever since owning that AR. I like the 20 inch rifle. I guess I am old.

    But Obama is still president. I haven't owned a carbine since i owned a Colt XM type AR15 with the 11 inch barrel and the 5 inch ? muzzle brake. I hated the thing and sold it quick. May be its time to buy a new model. Always learning.

    Well, I'm OK with reviving the thread. It's got me thinking that I need to buy an assortment of buffers and re-tune. Possibly the holiday sale's will help with that..

    In my 6920's I don't find much difference in controllability between the H2/Wolff spring combo and the H3/Wolff spring combo when shooting PMC .223. However, I find the H3/Wolff spring combo a little more controllable in rapid fire when shooting full-power 5.56. Ejection pattern is the same 4 o'clock regardless of buffer/spring combo or ammo used.

    H okay with M193/M855.
    H2 needed for MK 262/ R2LP & will run M193/M855.
    H3 may be needed for an extreme cases or when the gas port is eroded but the barrel still groups.
    H6 when running Rifle length gas tube with 18" or 20" barrel
