I just ordered this H-3 buffer & hoping it helps fix the problems I’m having with my gun. Buffer looks really nice though and at that price you can’t beat it.

This H3 buffer is made for a pistol upper and help with recoil. I have several of them and this price is way better than the other company like spikes. At three times the price. Really recommend for pistol uppers in 7.62×39, 50 Bewolf, and any of the other harder hitting ones. This will help tame the beast down a bit. I know,
Don’t get why the last guy gave this buffer just three stars. Maybe because it didn’t fix it problem. Review are suppose to be about the product not if it fixed your issue. Just my two cent. Hope this helps.

Great price on a quality heavy buffer!

I have used this buffer in several builds, in several calibers. Its my “go to”, especially with shorter gas systems, or if new or younger shooters will be using it

This is a great price on an H3 buffer. You can’t even buy 3 tungsten weights for this price. If an H3 is too heavy, you can combine parts with one standard buffer to build an H1 and H2 buffer.

I have these buffers in all my personal AR’s and have installed them in over 50 customers builds. They have been great and I won’t use anything else. They are well built and they do a great job of not only softening the recoil they also save the back of the buffer tube. They are great. If you prefer a name brand you could go purchase one from PWS and pay just under $60.00 for one with a fancy name that does doesn’t do the job any better or worse. It just costs you what you would pay for 5+ of these that work great.

Great h3 buffer system! I added it to a JP Polished buffer spring and it works flawlessly. Runs 556 and hot 223 brass at 3-4 o’clock ejection. And has great recoil follow up shots . I definitely recommend for over gassed systems. KM tact is my go to for all parts thank you

I put 1 in a 7.62×39 build and a David Tubs flatwire spring. What a difference it made with the spring!! Got another for the 450BM. What a fit on the Thumper. Good product.

I own 3. All are 5.4 +/-0.01 ounces. I run 2 and use one for weights to build custom buffers. This is the best H3 buffer deal anywhere!

Shooting a 350 L and 450 BM, this solved the hard kick problem. Love it and wish I bought two he first order. Worth every cent.

Disregard my previous review about using these for the weights. It’s a solid steel buffer with a pinned bumper, that’s it! There are no weights to remove. It is a “dead blow” buffer. It still works great if you need a 5.4oz buffer for the price!
I’ve used these in M4 with suppressor and LR308 with A5 length (7.75″) tube.

Correction: 5.7oz buffer, not 5.4oz.

I gave it 5 stars because of the quality and finish, and the marking in bold letters. now for the info. I weighted the two I purchased and they weight a bit more than H3 buffers standard specs. that being said these are made of steel amd apparently have no 3 pc slugs inside. which they should have to making them a “dead blow” style buffer or commonly called a kinetic buffer. (you shake them and they click back and forth. that’s suppose to be that way to prevent bolt bounce which is a condition that could cause a catastrophic detonation of the upper. The BCG could bounce slightly and go “out of battery” just enough to to have a cartridge rupture. It’s unlikely but with the advent of the Binary and FRT triggers, going at a cyclical rate way above what you can pull the trigger, (much like a full auto, the possibility does exist. A solid buffer without the reciprocal weights could also increase the cyclical rate of the FRT trigger to much higher than the M-16 was designed. as a matter if fact it was too high when first designed so they made the Bolt carrier heavier and the spring heavier etc. that slowed down the rate so that “cook offs” would not occur because of the heat build up in a fire fight. These are probably ok for average shooter amd a way to tune your cycling to prevent FTF and FTE . etc. But be carefull using a non kinetic buffer with the FRT , WOT, and the Binary type triggers. all in all it is a bargain because Tunsten buffers that are in H2 amd H3 buffer are expensive . and buying just the slugs is almost as much as just purchasing the H2 or H3 outright. Read what you can on the internet and you will see what I mean. sorry I had to write this as my knowledge needs to be shared. I am 75 yrs old and been at this a long time long before it became popular. regards to all.

Not easy to find a buffer this heavy that isn’t the longer style made for 9mm. This should work great with an FRT. The price was just the icing on the cake.
