[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2750497, member: 8377"] For carbine length buffer systems, run the heaviest buffer that will reliably cycle your ammunition and lock back on an empty magazine. Same is true for proprietary length systems like the Vltor A5. I would swap out tungsten pellets to save some money instead of buying more buffers. A quick test is to load a magazine with a few rounds to check cycling. If everything is gtg, load mags with single rounds and check for lock back. You shouldnt need to do the lock back test more than 5 or ten times. Add weight and repeat the test until the weapon fails to feed or lock back, then back off one tungsten weight in favor of a steel weight and you are golden. [/QUOTE]
