Change the AR buffer spring or weight first?
I have a new DB15 .556 16" that is throwing brass at the 1:00-1:30 direction. The gun runs very well, no lock back issues, no brass rim damage, no misfires, etc. I'd like to change out the original buffer spring and/or weight before trying anything else. My question is: can I use an H2 or H3 weight with the original spring, or should I use a heavier spring with the original weight? Which adjustment should I try first? I appreciate any info. Thanks!

I'm not an Ar pro. But what length gas system? What ammo are you using?

We the people love our country so let the government fear us.

If it's not broke why fix it?

You have three steel weights in your standard buffer. Replace one steel with a tungsten one and you made and H buffer. Replace two and you have an H2. You guessed it, replace all three then you have an H3 buffer.

I don't understand how this is a problem. If the brass ejects then it must be working.
