    I think the frustration comes from the fact that some people believe that the buffer exists to tune recoil impulse for the comfort of the shooter. It doesn't. The buffer exists as a part of the mass-spring system of the gun, necessary for it's reliable function. Use the buffer that makes your gun run reliably, not which one is "softer shooting".

    I hear you, but both buffers run reliably suppressed and unsuppressed, now with that out of the way...

    Then you just answered your own question in the first post, no? Both are reliable, the H is softer. Done and done.

    you would probably notice more difference with an adjustable gas block. especially when you put the suppressor on. your are increasing the back pressure. I like to tune is done were it is just running, and it feels good.

    Good point, but isn't it easier to say that than,

    This over analysis on this issue is getting out of hand.

    Every week, there is one "what buffer do I need" thread where we rehash all the same shit.
    Just sayin'. I'd think you'd want to run an H2 because it'd probably be more optimal in an Suppressed SBR, I saw this referenced in another thread, but grant seemed to have a similar setup.

    After reading this thread, Dunno what to think

    https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=33743

    It appears most SBR's suppressed will be overgassed, it might be ideal to try an H2 or H3 as the bolt velocity is rapidly increased.

    Food for thought, I might use that for reference or shoot Grant a PM.

    Grant's awesome as a side note, I use the guy whenever I can, extremely inclined on the knowledge of the weapons he sells, great prices, quick responses, good service.

    I'm thinking it'd be worth it to try an H2 if a regular Suppressed SBR will shoot 5.56mm fine suppressed with an H3.

    Food for thought.

    Food for thought...

    The Colt MK18 uses a regular H buffer. This is the standard for 10.5" barreled SBRs by which others are measured.

    I'm not saying a H2 is more appropriate for an SBR that is suppressed all the time, but suppressed shooting all the time is not realistic.

    Agreed.
