Riddle me this? Buffers...

[SW-Shooter]

Regular Carbine buffers sell for about $10.00. Why is that heavy buffers are $20+, H2 & H3 run up to $40.00. The added weight doesn't really cost that frigging much. So they are over priced because they are what's in demand, right?

Do I have this correct, or am I missing something.

Sorry bud. Tungsten ain't cheap.

Not only isn't tungsten cheap, but as long as the standard buffer is the main production item, everything else will be more expensive.

tungsten fishing weights range from $7-$10, depending on the type and weight.. compared to 0-$0.50 for lead.

steel is cheap too, so the price difference is probably pretty accurate, with a very small premium for rarity.
