Most Helpful Positive Review Great buffer
Built a 20" rifle with a carbine receiver extension with my daughters (9 & 12). Build went together great, but it was a touch over-gassed. Threw empty brass more than 20'. Saw some signs of tearing at the rim of the cases. Swapped in the Primary Weapon Systems H3 buffer, and things are MUCH better. ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Received a defective product
The big issue is that the roll pin is not installed on the buffer and it is 5 oz vs suppose it should be 5.4 oz. There is no PWS(Primary Weapons Systems)logo or symbol and no "mod2" shows on this product.

Helped reduce blowback, but not eliminated

by newbiehunter, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on February 21, 2025
Utilizing this recoil buffer and a new heavy-duty buffer spring helped to reduce blowback. Unfortunately, it did not eliminate the ammonia fumes. Not only do ammonia fumes make my eyes water, interfering with shooting, they are also toxic.

PWS H2 Buffer

by Jim F., Verified Owner from NV, United States Written on November 7, 2021
Fit and finish is exceptional. Weight is as discribed. Just as I would expect from any PWS product. The "head" of the buffer, if you will, is shaped much differently than most. With instead of flats, has 3 undercuts and 3 kind of nubs. Very different and hard to describe but seems to ride exceptionally smooth. Pairs very well with a Sprinco spring.

.300 Blackout Build#20

by Moss, from AL, United States Written on April 17, 2020
Great product over all. PWS put out some of the best stuff on the market for AR-15 and much more. This is my second AR-15 build using PWS. I have there buff tube also. Its very high quality. At this time I'm not done with this build completely but using PWS in the past is and cycling this buffer in other AR-15 its a must have.
Pros:
  • Very high quality
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR-15
Would recommend: Yes

Enhanced Buffer that is worth every penny

by Wes, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on December 4, 2019
Just from pulling this thing out of the packaging I knew I would be happy with this buffer. The fit and finish is everything you'd expect from PWS, this thing looks like a part out of a serious machine. The fluting is a nice touch and the finish is slick. You won't ever have to worry about this thing breaking or wearing out either. The most important thing is that my rifles function perfectly. I picked up the H2 since that's what PWS recommends for most of their uppers. From the MK107 to the MK114, they all function great suppressed or suppressed. Be sure to pick up a Sprinco White Spring and your rifle will run longer than you will!
Pros:
  • Quality fit and finish, durability
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Law enforcement and personal defense against tyrants and criminals (one in the same really)
Would recommend: Yes

Very nice buffer.

by Casey Osborn, Verified Owner from NE, United States Written on February 27, 2019
I'm building a 556 pistol. I wanted an H2 buffer for it. I was looking at a few and came across this one. It's in the general area of money for a quality buffer. What got me was the flutes cut into it. I just received it today and installed it right away. I used the spike's ST-T2 on my 300blk pistol build (very nice buffer) but this buffer just looks awesome. I ordered a JP Enterprises tuned and polished spring along with it. I can't wait to shoot this pistol.
Pros:
  • looks, price
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • AR15
Would recommend: Yes

Innovative Design

by Buff Buffington, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on September 1, 2017
This is a high quality buffer with a great finish. The staked roll pin and the steel body make the old aluminum design obsolete. Fluting will reduce friction and keep it moving if dirt or water gets in the stock. Highly recommended.
Pros:
  • Quality
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Durability
Would recommend: Yes

Love this buffer

by Craig, from OH, United States Written on June 14, 2017
This is the second one I have bought and the only one I will continue to buy for my rifles. The quality is top notch, they look great and the best part is the rifles they are in run butter smooth. Looking forward to getting a heavier one to see how it runs suppressed.

Great H2 buffer

by John, from OK, United States Written on April 7, 2017
After reading many review on heavy buffers this is just what I was needing to round out my 300 blackout pistol build. If you are needing a high quality buffer, this is the one. And you can't go wrong with the quick shipping from optics planet.
