Vltor A5 H2 Buffer 5.33 Oz

The Vltor A5 H2 Buffer is a precision recoil management component designed for AR-pattern rifles operating in tactical, competitive, or marine environments where reliability and predictable handling are non-negotiable. Whether you're running a rifle-configured platform on deck or downrange, this buffer system works to reduce felt recoil and improve shot-to-shot recovery. Built for operators and shooters who demand consistency across varying ammunition loads and environmental conditions, the A5 H2 represents a purposeful upgrade from standard mil-spec buffers.

The A5 H2 buffer weighs 5.33 ounces and utilizes VLTOR's proven H-series weight classification to tune bolt carrier group deceleration and reduce impact stress on both the buffer tube and receiver extension. This specific H2 mass sits in the mid-range of the A5 platform family, offering a balanced trade-off between recoil impulse reduction and reliability across standard pressure (NATO) and +P ammunition. The compact 2.75-inch profile integrates seamlessly with A5 receiver extensions and compatible stock systems, maintaining a low-profile footprint ideal for precision builds or space-constrained platforms common on vehicle-mounted or compact rifle setups.

The Vltor A5 H2 Buffer performs best in AR-15 and AR-10 platforms equipped with A5 receiver extensions and compatible buffer tubes. Users working with standard mil-spec or commercial tube setups should verify compatibility before installation. This buffer is particularly valuable for shooters running suppressed builds, heavy-recoiling cartridges, or rifles subjected to harsh marine or field conditions where bolt bounce and receiver battering accelerate wear. Installation requires only the buffer tube assembly and a standard takedown pin—no gunsmithing necessary.
