M16 Full Auto H3 Heavy Slide Carbine Recoil Buffer - 3.25" - 4.3Oz Blow - AR-15
This is a U.S.-made, two-piece H3 sliding-weight carbine buffer for the AR-15 platform, measuring the standard 3.25″ in length.
It features a solid steel rear section that functions as a dead-blow hammer, striking the bolt carrier group to effectively reduce or eliminate bolt bounce. The buffer was specifically engineered for reliable performance in full-auto and FRT (forced reset trigger) setups.
For the dead-blow mechanism to work properly, a small gap of 1/16″ to 1/8″ must exist between the head piece and the body. This clearance is preset at the factory but can be fine-tuned if needed.
These buffers have been extensively tested across a wide range of AR-15 configurations, including builds with barrels as short as 7″. They deliver excellent results with FRT triggers, where a total assembled weight of 5.1 – 5.2 oz appears to be the ideal “sweet spot” for smooth, reliable operation.
The sliding internal weight portion weighs 4.3 oz — the same as the combined sliding tungsten weights in a traditional H3 buffer. However, by using durable 8620 steel instead of tungsten, manufacturing costs are significantly lower while maintaining comparable performance. The complete buffer assembly weighs approximately 5.15 oz.
