AR15/M4 A5 Length Recoil Buffer – H2 (5.5 oz.)

Description

The BFE A5 Length H2 Buffer (5.5 oz) is engineered for the VLTOR A5 operating system and represents the ideal middle ground for shooters. Who need more mass than an H1 but less than a full H3. It is the most versatile buffer weight for the A5 system, offering a significant improvement in recoil control and cycling smoothness for a wide range of AR15/M4 configurations.

The A5 system itself is a proven upgrade over the standard carbine system. By using a longer 4.0″ buffer and a rifle-length spring inside an A5-length receiver extension. It increases the bolt carrier’s stroke, slows down the cyclic rate, and creates a much softer and more linear recoil impulse. At 5.5 oz, the H2 weight perfectly balances general-purpose rifles, mid-length gas systems, and lightly suppressed setups.

This VLTOR A5 H2 buffer is an excellent choice if your rifle is running well. But you want less felt recoil, flatter muzzle movement, and reduced wear on internal components.

Key Performance Benefits:

• Balanced Recoil Reduction: Provides noticeably softer recoil than a standard carbine buffer or A5 H1, keeping you on target for faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
• Optimal for Mid-Length and 16″ Rifles: The perfect weight for 14.5″ to 16″ barrels with carbine or mid-length gas, and for general-purpose rifles that are slightly over-gassed.
• Suppression Friendly: Adds enough mass to help manage the extra gas pressure from a suppressor without over-slowing the system.
• Enhanced Reliability and Longevity: The A5’s longer stroke and the H2’s increased mass reduce bolt bounce, improve feeding and extraction, and lower stress on your bolt, cam pin, and extractor.

The Most Versatile Weight for the A5 System.

If the H1 is too light and the H3 is too heavy, the BFE A5 Length H2 Buffer (5.5 oz) is your sweet spot. As the most popular all-around weight for the VLTOR A5 system. It delivers the perfect balance of recoil reduction and smooth cycling. And reliability for 14.5″ to 16″ rifles, mid-length gas systems, and light suppressor use.

Upgrade to the BFE A5 H2 and get the softer. Flatter-shooting performance the A5 system was designed for — without over-slowing your rifle.
