The buffer and spring are there to counter the rearward movement of the BCG. There are a lot of factors that contribute to what weight buffer you should use. Gas port size, carrier, ammo, suppressor, buffer spring strength, etc. The biggest concern is the gas. Is the rifle overgassed (i.e. gas port too big)? If NOT, then putting an H3 or even an H2 could cause short stroking, and you just wasted you money. If it is overgassed, then try out a new buffer. But if you want the softest recoil possible with your rifle yet the same reliability you have now or better, go with a VLTOR A5 system. It will give you great recoil management and great reliability.
But if you juts want to upgrade your buffer for the sake of upgrading your buffer, then go for it, it's your rifle and your money.
