Trigger Supply H2 Tungsten Buffer | True Tungsten Weights | Blue Top | USA Made
The original reciprocating tungsten weight buffer — from Trigger Supply, the same brand behind our best-selling H3. True mil-spec H2 with real tungsten weights in a machined aluminum body with the signature blue anodized top, 100% made in Missouri, USA. Not a basic reciprocating steel-weighted buffer with a premium price tag — the real thing, in the weight your build actually calls for.
Why True Tungsten Matters
Plenty of buffers sold as "H2" cheat the spec with steel or powdered filler and land light — and a buffer that misses its weight misses its job. Tungsten is nearly twice as dense as steel, so this buffer hits true mil-spec H2 weight (~4.6 oz) with reciprocating tungsten weights that deliver the dead-blow effect: the tungsten shifts forward on lockup and kills carrier bounce right at the moment your reset system needs the bolt settled. That's why heavy tungsten buffers are the standard prescription for FRT and Super Safety builds.
And here's the part that separates Trigger Supply: when raw tungsten costs spiked 600%, most of the market quietly swapped to steel weights and kept the "heavy buffer" label. We didn't. This is still true reciprocating tungsten — the original — because a buffer that's tungsten in name only is just a steel buffer with better marketing.

H2 or H3?
H2 (this buffer) is the minimum weight for reliable FRT and Super Safety function and the sweet spot for builds that run slightly softer — mid-length gas, suppressed setups already tuned, or rifles that short-stroke on H3 with weaker ammo. H3 is our default recommendation for most FRT builds — maximum bounce control. Same brand, same construction: grab the H3 here, or run both and tune per rifle like our serious customers do.
Buy Once, Run Forever
A buffer is the cheapest part in your rifle that touches every single shot. This one is machined and filled in Missouri with real tungsten — the original reciprocating tungsten weight buffer, from a brand that kept it tungsten even when raw material costs went up 600%. At $71.99 it's the last H2 you'll buy.
