Hey all,

 

Was wondering if anyone here runs an H2 buffer? I purchased a stock kit with H2 buffer from BCM a few months ago for my sbr 300 blk. That's what AAC recommends for their 9" upper.

 

I assembled my lower a couple of weeks ago and just got my upper. I notice that compared to the buffers in my other 5.56 ARs and my .308 AR, it is very noisy, The weights make much more noise than the 2 rifle length buffers and 2 carbine buffers my other rifles have. BCM says it's normal, but I can't believe it is supposed to be this noisy. If this rifle were carried by police or SOP, the enemy would hear them coming a mile away.

 

Going to go to a LGS to see if they have any in stock to compare, but wondering if any of you have one and what you think.

 

Thanks,

I use an H2 in my .40 carbine. Don't remember the brand.... Didn't notice any noise though.

 

I'll take it out when I get home and see what's up.

Thanks Rick. Appreciate it. I know the weights are supposed to move to avoid bolt bounce and what not, but it's ridiculous how loud it is. 

just tried a carbine buffer and H buffer and didn't notice and sound difference

My Colt H2 buffer is not noisy at all.

Yeah, kinda sounds like I might have a bad one. You can't even call BCM to talk to them as they don't answer the phone anymore. A recording tells you to email.

 

I'm gonna ask them about taking it back and sending me a new one. After their first two responses to my emails today, I'm not too confident they will make good.

Perhaps the non-metallic spacers between the weights was forgotten? I run an H2 in my suppressed SBR but most everything else gets an H buffer but none of them have what I would consider to be excessive noise.

Ok, so I got my H2 buffer out and it does rattle if I take the buffer out of the reveiver extension and shake the shit out of it.

 

Meh... I never noticed before. It doesn't bother me and I can't hear it when shooting, or moving the rifle around.

Yeah they all rattle. The spikes use powder instead of weights are a lot a lot quieter

Thanks for your responses guys. I pulled the buffer out of my Stag Model 1 and it is almost as loud, but in the buffer tube, it is much quieter than the H2 in the BCM buffer tube. I even put the H2 in the Stag and I think it was less noisy than in the BCM tube. Now I don't know what to do except live with the noise. 

Can you record the noise and upload it to youtube or something?maybe we are all hearing the same thing and it just bothers some of us less

I noticed that on my colt 6920 model. That crap can get you killed by the VC.

I can't hear any buffer over the loud bang!

I have an H2 in my PredatAR, don't think I have ever noticed any additional sounds.

If you are really that worried get a hydraulic buffer

I have an H2 buffer because that is what AAC recommends for their 9" & 12" uppers. Don't forget, I'm in America. This is an SBR that will be suppressed.

Then get a spikes
