    When I finally picked up a new Upper and lower it came with a H buffer. To be honest. After a few hundred rds... I can not tell any difference. and because I switched from a 16" HBAR to a 14.5" M4 profile.. The muzzle jump and recoil feel a little more severe due to the loss of the extra barrel weight I'm sure.

    So, I can't say as I'm sold on the heavier buffers for the 16" and 14.5" carbines. I know the shorter SBRS seem to run better with them. Just my take on it.

    Going from an HBAR to a lighter weapon, you most likely wouldn't notice a difference. If you have only shot a 14.5 with a carbine buffer and then went to an H or H2 then you would feel the difference for sure.

    AR's will run just fine with a carbine buffer. What you gain with a heavier buffer (like an H2) is less felt recoil, faster follow up shots and a more reliable weapon (increased lock time).

    I believe all current issued M4's come with an H2 buffer. I have also been seeing 6920's with H2 as well.

    Is there a way to recognize H, H2 and H3 buffers visually?

    I have CMT buffers and they look like this.
    H are stamped H on the face of the buffer, H2 are stamped H2 and H3s aren't stamped.

    There are no markings on the face of mine. Does anyone know what buffer the Vltor kits come with?

    Standard CAR buffer, it's lighter than all 3 types of H buffers.

    VLTOR ships all their kits with carbine buffers and they are generall never marked.

    People often think that ISMI springs are extra power springs, but they are not. They are simply a better quality spring.
