The H2 Rubber spacer – add length to any rifle or shotgun stock takes up extra length inside the buffer tube so a carbine buffer runs correctly in a rifle-length or over-travel setup. It also softens the bolt-to-buffer contact for a quieter cycle.
Buffer mass is one of the simplest ways to tune an AR-pattern rifle. More weight slows the bolt, softens recoil, and can cure short-stroking or brass-to-face issues on over-gassed guns. The right combination of weights and spacers lets you match the buffer to your barrel, gas length, and ammo.
Pair it with the matching buffer body, weights, and spacers to complete a reliable, well-tuned buffer system for your build.
Frequently asked questions
What does the H2 Rubber spacer – add length to any rifle or shotgun stock do in an AR buffer system?
It fills extra length so a shorter buffer runs correctly and cushions the bolt-to-buffer contact.
Why does buffer weight matter?
Heavier buffers slow the bolt, reduce felt recoil, and can fix short-stroking or ejection problems on over-gassed rifles. Tuning weight to your gas system and ammo improves reliability.
Is a tungsten buffer weight worth it over steel?
Tungsten fits far more mass into the same buffer length, so you can reach a heavier, smoother-cycling setup that a steel weight cannot match in the same space.
