One more question, if the H3 and 9mm buffers weight almost the same, what are the advantages of the H3? There are other differences between this two exept that the H3 its aluminum and 9mm its steel?Originally Posted by C4IGrant
The Military Spec states that the buffer body has to have three chambers in it. The purpose of this is to keep the weights inline. 9mm buffers do not follow this req and is usually the reason why they are cheaper.Originally Posted by TacDoc

The head portion of the 9mm buffer (part that contacts the carrier) also moves (I'm not sure why but it does) and it's body is made of carbon steel. An H3 buffer by outward appearances functions and looks just like a CAR, H and H2 carrier where the body is one solid piece.

A Colt 9mm buffer is one piece, it's only the RRA or other aftermarket units that have the pinned-on movable head.
Bumping this back up,
The H2 and H3 buffers, do they have NSNs and or Colt Parts Numbers?
Convinced the PTB's to do a test using heavier buffers to see if it will lower our bolt shear problems, but only if the buffers have either NSN's or PN's from Colt.
9mm buffer is not an option, must be buffers made for the M4

I order a Rock River 9mm buffer
It Has NO SCREWSS whatso ever
its black with a green Plastic buffer at the end? I dont know how many weights it has inside? And it dont look like the buffer in the RRA catalog
Anyway I put the 9mm buffer in my LMT Defender 2000 with SOPMOD
The M4 runs great useing several types of ammo M193,M855.MK262,BH77,BH75,etc! It does seem to work
But on the other hand my Bushmaster/VLTOR runs a H buffer and runs great also

I'm pretty sure that the H3 is a Colt product. There should be a Colt part number for them.Originally Posted by LukeMacGillie
