    Anyone use a blue Sprinco and either an H or H2 in a BCM 14.5 middy? Currently just using a standard spring and H buffer. I'm overdue on a spring change, curious if I can make the gun even smoother.

    14.5" Noveske & BCM and 16" BCM mids all run fine on stock Colt spring and H or H2 buffers.

    Then again, everything from from a F/A 6933 to a 20" rifle works for me on a Colt lower with an H or H2.

    This is all with M193, 855 and some Federal 55 gr .223.

    I don't what's wrong with everyone's stuff who needs an A5 and all this other heavy stuff...

    14.5" BCM with a Spikes T2/standard carbine spring. 1000+ rounds and not a single stoppage with any flavor of ammo.

    I never paid ant attention to Middys cause I wasn't a fan but I am now as Im in the middle of building my first one. Does a certain buffer weight really make any difference in a Middy? Serious question here. As for my carbines 16" and 14.5" I have used both H and normal weight buffers and had no issues one way or the other, Im sure the H one slowed the action down slightly but it wasn't something needed/noticed by me. But as for Middys and me not knowing technical details about them yet I am curious if they run better with certain buffers? thanks guys

    Well from what I've been reading here the H may indeed be the ticket, especially for a wider range of ammo choices (although I'm currently only using 5.56mm-level fodder).

    Yeah, I tried a blue with h2 in my 14.5. It will cycle spec ammo but it's sluggish and feels on the edge of short stroking. I only ran a 200rd mix of m193 and m855. I switched back to a white (standard power) and H. This isn't fact, just my opinion.

    I guess I am confused by the OP's question. If his gun is working, why change?

    All of my mid length guns are 16" DD's. They come with H Buffers. (All of my Colt 6920's also came with H buffers.) All of these guns have functioned well with any 5.56mm loading I have shot through them. I don't shoot 223 pressure ammunition in my guns, so I can't comment on the function of 223 in these guns.

    I personally don't see the need to change out buffers from a gun that has proven to be 100% reliable for me as is.

    Has anyone had a gun malfunction from a heavy buffer? I am running H3 buffers in my middy's and they run great even with Wolf and Silver bear ammo. One of my middy rifles I am running an A2 stock and buffer, all are 16" barrels.
