I have a 11.5" 762×39 upper on a PSA lower and have been having failure to feed/failure to extract issues. Ive done mags, f.pins Xtra build? Will T3 h Expert Answer

An upgraded buffer can assist in reliable feeding and extraction of a rifle. Typically for a 7.62x39 build, I would recommend an H3 buffer (5.0 - 5.4 oz.). There are many factors that could cause your malfunctions. I would recommend emailing us at Techsales@opticsplanet.com and letting us know what specific parts are on your build. The H3 buffer that I would recommend can be found linked below:

I have a 12.5in pistol build with a carbine lenght gas system would the h1 or h2 be a better buffer to smooth out the recoil over the standard buffer?

There are many factors to making the AR run smoothly. The first thing when considering buffers is what sized buffer tube do you have? If you have a carbine length tube, the H1 buffer should be fine for most standard configurations. The biggest concern should be your gas system. Most uppers are way over gassed to ensure reliability, but even a cheap adjustable gas block will allow you to make your AR super soft and smooth.

high quality buffer by GeneralMelon76, Verified Owner, May 14, 2026
It was one of the H1 buffers in stock and I’ve used some parts from battle arms development so I knew it would be decent, when in reality it’s a pretty solid quality buffer! Just what my 16” .300blk needed to tame its snappy cycling rate

Product Info for Battle Arms Development AR-15/M16 Carbine Buffer Assembly

Is Your Carbine Not Registering Reliability & Potency? Is Your Stock Not Cycling & Unreliable? Is Your Carbine Not Cycling & Unreliable? The BAD AR-15/M16 Carbine Buffer Assembly provides reliable performance for AR-15/M16 Carbines with Mil Spec buffer springs & spring retainer? If so, you need to replace your buffer. This five pound buffer assembly features enclosed, non-metallic construction. Open cell sponge material encased in the batter makes it highly unlikely for this product to catch on fire. Replaceable, non-metallic nylon spring is highly vibration resistant and in most cases does not require disassembling the rifle to replace the spring. This material will not rust, deform, or otherwise harm the surface of your receiver which aids in long term firearms durability.image
