I'm thinking of a Tubbs CWS bolt weight or a heavier buffer to prolong lock-up time. Has anyone done this and won't the heavier buffer do the same thing as the bolt weights, CWS?

 

Let's hear from the AR experts...

I'm not an expert on the schematics and mechanics of ARs at all. So, I'll only speak from my experience of using them.

It does seem like a heavier buffer (H-H3) would do the same as the CWS. Maybe the CWS has more versatility as it could be dropped in with a rifle-length system if need be? (Whereas the heavier buffers only apply to carbine length systems.)

I could definitely see there being an added benefit for AR10 and SR25's though.

 

Personally, I run a lot of lower powered ammunition in my carbine (55gr). If I ran M855 daily, I would have invested in an H or H2 buffer already. If I was running 69+, I would definitely be running a heavier buffer.

 

Gosh, I really hope someone better versed then me speaks up

No answers?

 

The only thing you guys know is how to "put the booger picker on the bang switch"?

Yes.

 

 

I think the lack of comments is probably do to not many people knowing much about the CWS. I'd never heard of it till you mentioned it. But, from reading what it actually is, I think the more common route, as you pointed out, is to go with a heavier buffer.

Instead of copy/pasting a bunch of stuff, I found this thread on M4C helpful in giving a brief overview of the different buffer weights: http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=14372
