Yes, I'm active and deployed to Afghanistan.
No 20 inch barrel possible. I'm in an Infantry company and we only issue the M4.

They slide around, but they don't feel like individual weights like my H does. Kinda like it's one big weight as opposed to the three individual ones.
I'll take the H6 to the range and see how it goes. I was mostly asking just in case anyone in theater had used this combo and had any experience with it. I'm sure it'll work just fine.
Not necessarily convenient for the OP but here's what Damage says about the H6:
This kit contains all the parts necessary to retrofit 20" barrel AR15/M16 rifles with a carbine-type adjustable stock. Allows 20" rifles to be used with heavy body armor and in environments where a more compact weapon is needed. Currently fielded by United States Marine Corps, the H6 buffer allows flawless function of the short carbine recoil action when used on a 20" rifle. Kit contains the following Mil-Spec parts: 5oz H6 buffer, buffer spring, buffer tube (4 position), locking nut and receiver end plate. *
They also have just the buffer for sale.

I went far heavier than that, actually. I ran a custom stainless body buffer from Heavybuffers.net that weighed over 8 oz. Worked 100% on. 223 pressure ammo with a Springco blue. Just keep it wet as a virgin hooker and you'll be fine, brother.

I just want to make sure I am reading this correctly. You are active duty military and you are modifying your service weapon and messing with buffers?
I answered your question in an earlier post: I got the H6 from a CMRE yard. I can not get an H2 or other weight without paying for it because we do not issue them, but the H6s were available to be grabbed with brand new action springs to go with them. *ETA: The reason this buffer has my attention is because of how hot the A1 load is. With green tip, I know the H2 works great and run them in my personal ARs. But A1 is not 855 and the cyclic rate with the H is retarded fast. Hence my curiosity how the 6's work with 14.5 carbines.
I replaced the extractor spring/extractor because we did not have any spares in the arms room. I'm not sure of your military experience, but it's not as easy as saying "I need this" to get stuff. Especially not with the budget cuts we're having. When I have a spare part on hand, I'll use it. Even if it has to come out of pocket. I'm not going to be the guy with a bolt-action M4 bounding across an objective because it takes two months to get parts. Especially when it's as simple as an extractor swap.
The question's been answered, and I'm heading to the range tomorrow to test function. If it's a dud, the H will drop right back in: no harm, no foul. I was asking to see if anyone had any experience with them, and was able to get the answers I was hoping for.
If you'd like to discuss it further, take it to PM.
