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:

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.
