Some buffer advice please...

[TheDigitalPicasso]

Hey guys, I want to change my standard buffer in my Del-Ton and replace it with a H or an H2 buffer. Can anyone give some advice on how to pick the correct buffer for your AR? The reason I want to change it is so I can reduce some recoil.

The buffer - to me- does not make any difference with recoil

It is a small part and will - very slightly- change the impulse of the bolt compressing the recoil spring

If you want to cut recoil consider
1) adding weight to the gun
2) adding a blast enhancer- aka muzzle brake or compensator. They direct some of the gas to the sides and or back towards the shooter. The trade off is a louder shot with less felt recoil.

Red Sprinco spring and H buffer for carbine length gas system.
Muzzle break du jour. You pick.
Caveat- DelTons are not always consistant with barrel gas port specs so YMMV.

edit; adjustable gas block makes a difference too.
