When running a 16-inch 5.56 barrel with a mid-length gas system and a lightweight BCG, the appropriate buffer weight depends on the barrel profile. For a government profile barrel, an 'H' (heavy) buffer is recommended. If the barrel is a heavier SOCOM profile, an H2 buffer would be more suitable. This recommendation aims to optimize the firearm's cycling and reliability.
