    A5 buffer weights

    Are the steel and tungsten weights the same size as regular buffer weights? I have an A5H3 and wondering if I could swap with carbine steel weights to make it a 2 or 1

    I dremel off the H3 or H4 when I do this so there's no future confusion. This also lets me know the buffer has been modified.

    I use a stamp to mark them. HF works for me in this case - https://www.harborfreight.com/18-in-...-Pc-63676.html

    I toyed with using different colored buffer ends but decided to stamp: https://www.kakindustry.com/ar-15-pa...fer-bumper-red

    Classy!

    Yeah... buffer ends would work, but mean having to pull the buffer to confirm. I like the stamp idea, but I only mod one to H2.

    That is why I went with the stamp instead of the buffer ends, I haven't modified that many. Didn't think of having to pull the buffer to confirm while I was considering the idea of different colored ends.

    I have a vibrating engraver but anything I've tried to engrave ends up looking like a forty year-old jail tattoo.

    Someone we shoot with brought out an SOT converted AR full auto. They used that method for engraving the lower. It was funny.

    Yeah, I've bought some imported surplus pistols that were engraved that way, although a lot better than I could have done.

    A set of metal stamps is useful, but it sure can be over done...
