Those solid steel buffers suck big time. They bounce like a basketball.

Of course. Well I guess at least I found out here.
I just noticed that ar15discounts has a deal today on KAK H2 buffers for $13

So anyway, what does “bolt bounce” cause, in the aspect of wear? I’m trying to find any sign of wear, but nothing yet out of the ordinary has been found.
I ordered 4 KAK h2 buffers instead of 3, because frankly….your reply about the st-t2 bothered me to the point that it’s getting replaced with a KAK h2.
I also plan to get enough tungsten weights, to configure all the buffers I own, including the st-t2.
It's not a wear issue to my knowledge. It's annoying and distracting as f@#k when you can feel it though. And your BCG starts to act like an inertia bullet puller when it's bad enough. There's no upside to running a shitty buffer, and since the right buffer is like 30-40 bucks, it's not really a part I'd try to work around.
Well I ordered 4 today shipped for $64 total. For many reasons, I’m glad I created this post.
Thanks.
But, I am wondering if this st-t2 test was preformed with a MilSpec buffer spring? I’m curious how having a Tubbs speed lock would alter the results of that test?
I personally have noticed zero bounce….that doesn’t mean it’s not there by any means.
