    I suppose I'm going to start with the H buffer I purchased and go from there. From what some guys have been saying, they run the heaviest buffer possible that will still cycle the rifle properly. I feel like there has to be more of a science to this between spring hardness, buffer weight, degree of ejection, bolt slap/bounce, etc. Does this even sound right?

I also have a full auto bcg if this matters in the equation.

    Here lies my questions:
    -Would it even benefit any to jump to an H2 buffer versus an H buffer? (Other guys run them in a similar setup to mine)
    -Also, while I'm in there, is there any reason to change the spring? (People have recommended a Blue Sprinco Spring)

    I'd greatly appreciate any positive input, or if anyone can point me in the correct direction. Thanks in advance.
    H2 buffer and blue springco spring would be my choice.

    Just ordered both. So I have an H buffer, H2 buffer, and Blue Springco Spring on the way. I guess I have some range time ahead of me.

    I just meant that there seemed to be a little less muzzle rise (not that there's much in a 5.56mm rifle anyway) with the H2 buffer over the stock buffer.
