I’ve never seen the correct weight for the H6 CAR buffer posted anywhere, so for reference here is the correct weight: 5.15 oz, the same as a rifle buffer.
Nice, where did you manage to get that?
Just like the Army. No need for an H6 buffer when an H3 will work just fine. I wonder what that boondoggle cost?
Correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding this was designed for using a carbine receiver extension on the M16.
Correct. And I have built (3) rifles using the H3 buffer and a spring with a Colt/FN 20" upper and they have all run 100%. The difference between the H6 and a real h3 isn’t great enough to require a special buffer.
I think Damage Industries sells them. I don’t see it working any worse than an H3, but I wouldn’t pay a dime more for one than a quality H3, like from G&R Tactical.
It was a competitor to Vltor’s A5 system for fitment of a carbine-size stock to an M16A3/A4 upper.
So this whole thing’s claim to fame is that it uses 6 small tungsten weights instead of the regular 3?
Thanks Carlos.

From what I understand, that is the only difference between this and an H3.
IIRC, the Army burned through 200,000 rounds during development and testing.
That’s not proof of anything except that big green used 200k rounds.
Just look at the M855A1 program…the mere use of resources in and of itself is not proof in any way that said use was productive in nature.

It is points to a significant part of the cost of “that boondoggle,” to which I was specifically responding and quoted.
I’m tracking now.
