Help with A5 buffer choice

[Mercs]

I know I know, it’s another A5 buffer thread. I searched and can’t find any answers to my specific quandary.

I have a 16” middy w/ Odinworks Ultralight barrel and SLR Sentry agb. Has a Sionics M16 bcg.

I want to try the A5 system, so I ordered the Green Spring from Sprinco. Looking at BCM kit, comes with A5H0 buffer. Is this the better option for a starting point for me than the A5H2 which is normally supplied with the VLTOR kit? If anyone has experience along these lines, please do help me out with some advice before I place my order

Honestly it's best to have an assortment of A5 buffers so you can dial in a system on a new rifle, or re-tune your gun if you change something.

Search for tungsten buffer weights. Buy four, this will give you the ability to add weight to your buffer.

A5 extended length buffer configurations/weights;

H0, 3.8oz, four steel
H1, 4.56oz, one tungsten, three steel
H2, 5.33oz, two tungsten, two steel, (original/standard A5)
H3, 6.08oz, three tungsten, one steel
H4, 6.83oz, four tungsten

**Or, if you have a few carbine buffers, order the A4H4 buffer she replace tungsten weights with steel to lower the weight

Thanks guys. Are the tungsten weights on eBay gtg, or do I have to order from KAK or Geiselle?

I ordered mine from KAK, however eBay should be just fine as long as you order from a well rated seller

I guess I’ll just order from KAK and pay a couple of extra dollars for piece of mind.

I wonder why BCM sends the H0 buffer with the kit instead of the H2

It’s cheaper. The H0 does not have any tungsten weights in it

The A5H0 is cheaper and the H2 is harder to keep in stock. The A5H0 is about the same weight as a carbine H buffer. The A5H1 about the same as an H2 and the A5H2 is about the same as a rifle buffer.

Thanks so it seems the A5H0 and some tungsten weights is the way to go, covers all bases and cost efficient

H2 on any gun other than the 14.5 BCM middy. From there, I correct the gas somehow. Running blow hole barrels with over-weight buffers isn't acceptable to me anymore.
