Why Choose the PWS Enhanced Steel Body Buffer?
For AR-15 enthusiasts facing issues like excessive recoil or inconsistent ejection patterns, this H2 buffer addresses common pain points head-on. Its heavier-than-standard carbine weight slows the bolt carrier group without compromising reliability, making it ideal for overgassed systems or suppressed setups. Unlike traditional tungsten-weighted buffers, the all-steel design offers consistent performance without the risk of weight separation, while the fluted exterior promotes self-cleaning action. Shooters report softer recoil impulses and tighter brass groupings, translating to faster target reacquisition and prolonged shooting sessions without fatigue. Whether you’re building a custom rifle or upgrading an existing one, this buffer delivers the balance of features and benefits that elevate your tactical setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes this H2 buffer different from a standard carbine buffer?
A: The H2 variant weighs 4.5 oz., heavier than the standard 3 oz. carbine buffer, which helps reduce recoil and bolt speed for smoother operation, especially in gas-heavy configurations.
Q: Is this buffer suitable for suppressed AR-15s?
A: Yes, the H2 weight is recommended for many suppressed applications, as it manages increased backpressure to prevent excessive wear and improve cycling reliability.
Q: How does the fluted design benefit performance?
A: The flutes create minimal contact with the buffer tube, allowing dirt and debris to pass through easily, which reduces the chance of binding and maintains function in rugged conditions.
