Product Description
Tune your A5-pattern AR for smoother recoil and reliable cycling with the VLTOR A5 H3 Buffer. Weighing 6.08 oz, this heavy buffer helps calm over-gassed or suppressed setups and short barrels, delivering a flatter impulse and more consistent return-to-battery—exactly what you want for fast follow-ups in drills, matches, or hard range use.
Why shooters choose it
- 
Heavy, controlled recoil feel: Helps reduce bolt speed and dot bounce for more predictable shot strings.
 - 
Purpose-built for A5 systems: Longer A5 body length pairs with a rifle-length action spring for a more forgiving recoil cycle.
 - 
Duty-ready construction: 7075-T6 aluminum body with Type III hardcoat anodizing.
