Heavy Buffers A5 buffers

http://www.heavybuffers.com/vltor.html

Just saw these on the where can I get it thread and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them.

I apologise if this has already been covered, I searched but only found stuff about the vltor ones.

Interesting. Their HS buffer costs $75?! My A5H4 was $56. Why is theirs worth $20 more?

So they’re not VLTOR and they’re not cheaper…what’s my incentive?

I was thinking that you may actually be able to buy one. The Vltor a5 buffers are non existent at this point.

I’ve managed to conjure up a couple over the past few months…

I’ve heard that Vltor is correcting the supply issue on the buffers and they’ll be ramping up over the next few months.

I guess it’s only $20extra but I don’t need a different buffer that badly.

Could be a nice alternative for someone who has to have one ASAP.

Wonder why their weight breakdowns are different than VLTORs?

Heavy Buffers:
H-4.0oz
H2-4.5oz
H3-5.5oz
HS-6.5oz
XH-10.0oz

VLTOR:
H0-3.8oz
H1-4.56oz
H2-5.3oz
H3-6.08oz
H4-6.83oz

These buffers ranger from $55 - $125 depending on weight

Sketchy looking website anyway… :confused:

Right I was just trying to compare apples to apples.

A5H4 - 6.83oz and $56
HS - 6.5oz and $75

But they have Tactical Girls

Their buffer bodies are Stainless steel. No way to match the Vltor weights and keep internal and outer dimensions the same.

You can only mix/match buffer weights so much.

I see

Slash makes good stuff. These should prove to be a good alternative for anyone wanting a buffer for many different applications without the wait.

So this guy/business is legit?

I’m not trying to doo doo on it… just hard to trust new pop ups in this market. :wink:

Yeah, they’ve been around for quite some time now. I bought their 9Q Heavy 9mm buffer from them back in '07 or so and several others since then. They’ve been advertising over in Arfcom for years which is where I first found them. Good company to deal with.

Slash makes those buffers with the powdered tungsten

I may try one. The is the last piece I need and I’m impatient. I have an A5H2 on b/o w/ Midway, but now is good.

Cool… yeah… if I needed one now, I’d pay the price.

Cheapest shipping is $10. That puts it over the top as a no. $75 for the equivalent of something that’s $47 shipped for the real deal is too much. I’ll just keep swapping out the one I have.

I might try the h3 once I get my SBR upper back. It’s being cut back to 11.5" and i have no idea how it’ll function with the h4.
