The VLTOR A5 buffer is a weighted buffer for VLTOR's A5 Buffer System, which VLTOR developed at the request of the United States Marine Corps. VLTOR offers it in several weights for anyone who needs a specifically weighted buffer or wants to fine-tune their rifle. It comes in three weights here: the A5H1 at 4.56 oz, the A5H2 at 5.3 oz, and the A5H3 at 6.08 oz. All three use a cascading dead-blow design, and the weight is set by how many steel and tungsten weights are inside.
Check compatibility before you order. A5 buffers only work with other VLTOR A5 buffer system components. They're longer than traditional carbine buffers, so they can't be used in standard carbine receiver extensions. The A5 buffer is also not compatible with the AR-10 platform.
