Why Choose an H3 Buffer?
An H3 heavy buffer is one of the most effective upgrades for AR-15 platforms. By adding additional mass to the buffer system, it:
✔ Helps slow down bolt carrier speed
✔ Reduces recoil impulse
✔ Improves reliability with hotter ammunition
✔ Enhances overall shooting smoothness
This makes it especially beneficial for shorter barrel rifles, suppressed setups, and high-performance builds.
Overall rating: 4.1 / 5 from 102 reviews.
I have not installed this buffer yet, but I think it will work great. it is a quality build with a solid rattle and deadbolt effect. 5.4oz on my scale.

Awesome for frt

Costumer service was very helpful with telling me what I needed to order for my new build with a frt setup 👌

Fit and finish seem perfectly fine. However, I am unsure of what the purpose of this buffer actually is It is advertised as an h3 buffer with shake weights reciprocating mass which is true however it is not enough reciprocating mass to be equivalent to an h3 or H2 buffer which is unfortunately what I need to operate my system therefore as stated previously, I'm just unsure what the application of this buffer would actually be. I sent an email immediately after placing the order to either cancel the order or swap this buffer for an actual h3 and charge me the difference however that email has went unanswered. Hopefully they will approve this return and we both can move on with our lives.. Not holding my breath

This is NOT a buffer with three tungsten weights as listed in the description. This is a solid steel buffer (magnetic, weighs 4oz empty) with two smaller than normal steel weights that slide in a narrower, shorter chamber. This buffer does not work with ANY of the three main styles of FRTs. You haven’t responded to my two emails.

It didn't fix my problem with the Partsan trigger and still no response from Partsan and still no help from Tackdown either!!

Was unable to achieve the necessary BCG slowing to utilize my forced reset trigger. Need a smoother shake weight.

perfect weight and does exactly what it was meant to do reliable cycling and recoil management
AR-15 H3 Heavy Buffer 5.4oz Shake weights (V2 Reciprocating)
Buffer weighs properly, is functional, would prefer to have "H3" indicated (stamped in to) on the buffer to tell at-a-glance what buffer it is. I'm not in the habit of toting gram/oz scale around with me.

Perferct buffer weight for using a SBR, or carbine style AR pistol in .300 blackout while utilizing a FTR set up. Clean feeding, no hangups.

I have a Windham AR15 I bought the FRT trigger from you and an H2.5 buffer the frt would fire 1 round and give a light primer strike on second round and it didn’t go off this happened over and over in frt mode semi it worked fine so I purchased H3 buffer from you 5.4 oz same thing light striker on second round I wish I could return then and get something that works

AR-15 H3 Heavy Buffer 5.4oz Shake weights (V2 Reciprocating)
My ambi selector was nylon polymer and one side folded back and cracked before I even got the skrew in....everything else great but dunno what to do about my selector now...also now my safety is in the fire position, semi is in the safety position, and frt is pointing straight down....dunno where to get another ambi selector with the correct cuts

Exactly what I needed
AR-15 H3 Heavy Buffer 5.4oz Shake weights (V2 Reciprocating)
FRTs are here to stay. It’s led to an epic battle! The battle of the buffers, H3 to be specific. If your ejection pattern is all over the place and the rate of fire is too fast this is a plug and play solution. No more malfunctions, bolt bounce or need for further tuning with gas blocks and springs. I have used this with the Hoffman trigger kicker, Kabuto Mini, Kabuto full size, and the Partisan Disrupter. Of course none of the forced reset devices were mine and I, like millions of other gun owners have lost all of them in my friend’s boat. He was mad, but replaced them and the boat. Trigger kicker is cheaper than this buffer. Get one and get some for your buddies. They pair like the ATF and tyranny. Perfect. Buy now. Common use. We got 2 more years to make them so common a “rule change” by unelected bureaucrats won’t be possible if the Gun grabber get back in power. Christmas is coming up. Get this buffer and a Hoffman Trigger Kicker for every freedom lover in your life. If I had the money I would get in the reciprocating buffer business right now. These were 20 dollars 2 years ago.
