I had Clint ("Slash") at HeavyBuffers.net make me a custom 8.3oz SS bodied carbine buffer with 3 tungsten weights inside. I ran it 100% with a springco WHITE and a stock Colt Carbine spring on my BCM 14.5" middy with not a single issue. For the buffer to cause return-to-battery issues, it would almost have to be a solid chunk of stainless and weight north of 10oz I would imagine....which is just ridiculous.
Also, the A5 buffers are FAR heavier than carbine buffers and the Rifle/A5 spring provides less pre-load pressure, yet they have no issues running 6.8oz A5H4 buffers. Food for thought.
EDIT: I changed the weights and it now weighs just over 7oz. My brother uses this in his BCM Middy with a Springco WHITE without issue. Has has over 400 rounds on this exact setup.
