    My upper has a fsb if that makes a differences here is the exact upper I own. Sorry this is the only spec link I could find for it. https://dsgarms.com/nvu-g3-lcfsr-556

    Side note that buffer and spring is in another gun i was going to take it out but decided against it so I'll be buying both the spring and buffer. Thanks for all the input this far really appreciate it.

    I recently switched from a regular carbine buffer to an H for my BCM SS410 16" and didn't notice any difference. I'd heard that it would soften perceived recoil, but I never really noticed the recoil to begin with, so it's hard to quantify any difference.

    Everything had been working well with the carbine buffer, but I kept reading about how I should upgrade, so I succumbed to peer pressure, and did. Still, I suppose it can't hurt since H is what BCM puts in their complete middy rifles.

    Do you already have an assembled lower for this upper or are you still putting it together? Also, what upper do you have on that lower with the H buffer and spring?

    Everything for the noveske is done minus buffer/spring. (This is why I am entertaining the thought of the vltor a5)

    The host carbine was an affordable build with miscellaneous parts and a carbine gas system.

    Then go A5. I was under the impression that a carbine RE was already installed.

    You mean other than the fact that it is a better way to skin a cat? Nope.

    Rainier Arms, Brownells, Midway should all have the kits.

    On my BCM 14.5 mid I run a H buffer with a standard spring. Mine ejects properly and eats everything. Nothing fancy and very happy with the results.

    Agree. I've owned at least 5 different 14.5 mid length Noveske over the last few years and ran a standard spring and H buffer in all of them. This is the combo Noveske recommended to me several years ago and it's always worked well.

    On a new build, the A5 is always my first choice and recommendation.

    I like the A5H1 weight, as I feel the standard A5H2 buffer is a little heavier than is optimal for "normally" gassed guns.
