I love my 16" kit. Best build of the numerous ones I have done. Does anyone have a better buffer idea.
What are you looking for? Heavier, smoother, quieter, etc?
I’m just a noob but I just bought the Odin works adjustable buffer. Haven’t done my first build yet still acquiring parts. I plan on getting a binary trigger and believe having an adjustable buffer and adjustable gas port should help with any problems. Ill be the first to admit I may be wrong as I have only been looking into AR for 2 months but buying one buffer that’s actually 3 seemed like a good idea. There’s also Hydraulic Recoil Buffers, adjustable gas ports with piston and bcg kits, these may be something to look into.
If it’s ejecting shells around 3’oclock I wouldn’t change the weight

(why do I hear Groucho Marx responding to your 3’oclock comment?)
Serious question though on “adjustable buffers”…
- aren’t all buffers adjustable by simply changing the weights inside?
Unless they are solid like some 9mm buffers.

I must say, my first AR was a Colt in 7.62 X 39! I was delighted with it’s reduced recoil compared to my old AK. I have never actually considered altering the buffer of any AR I have owned, as they are so much more gentle when out for a weekend at the range.
H1 for 16" midlength, H2 for 16" carbine.
You can buy the tungsten buffer weights and install them in your PSA buffer - replace 1 steel weight with a tungsten weight for H1 and 2 steel weights with tungsten for H2.
Return on investment is too low, IMHO, to consider any of the higher priced buffers/systems.

What weights would you estimate for 10.5" carbine length gas tube and 7.5" pistol length gas tube?
Each with regular length buffer tube.
H1 or h2 in both.
I run an H2 in my 11.3" carbine-gas 5.56 and would suggest that for your 10.5.
I simply run H2s in every carbine-gas gun I own.
I honestly have no clue on the shorter gun, but would try an H2 and go from there.
Wow​:rofl:
