    FTF Fixed!

    I recently completed a lightweight hunter build (http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showt...t-Hunter-Build) and while it was accurate as all get out I was having issues with the bolt not going completely into battery when the weapon was dirty . . . and my guns are always dirty so I had to fix this.

    I figured I needed a little more BCG momentum, so I swapped out the steel weights in my carbine buffer for tungsten weights creating, effectively, a H2 buffer.

    Voila! Feeds like a champ.

    Dialed the gas in for the H2 and it is soft shooting and sweet feeding. Going to go out and, hopefully, ruin a coyotes night with it.

    Anyway, if you are having any issues with FTF on a standard carbine buffer, a little more weight might take care of it for you. YMMV

      Nice. Good to hear you found the fix , and how easy was that? Very nice.

        Very simple.

        Remove buffer, drive out pin. Disassemble and swap weights.

        If you have an adjustable gas system on your AR-15 rifle, changing the buffer weight can do some wonderful things; here's how to get it done.
