SKU: VLTA5H3
MPN: A5H3
The Vltor A5 H3 Buffer is a specialized hydraulic buffer designed for AR-pattern rifle systems, engineered to fine-tune recoil impulse and cycle rate in modern sporting rifles and tactical platforms. This 6.08 oz buffer addresses shooters and rifle builders who demand precise control over bolt carrier group velocity, whether you're running a precision rifle setup, short-barreled upper, or suppressed system where standard mil-spec buffers fall short.
The A5-platform design has become the go-to choice for operators and enthusiasts seeking superior hydraulic dampening without adding excessive weight to the lower receiver. The Vltor A5 H3 Buffer uses a hydraulic fluid chamber and internal spring mechanism to dissipate energy gradually throughout the recoil cycle, reducing felt recoil and improving control between shots. The H3 designation indicates a heavier spring rate within the A5 family, designed to slow bolt velocity and optimize dwell time on systems with shorter gas tubes or higher-pressure setups.
The Vltor A5 H3 Buffer fits A5-compatible receiver extensions and works across a wide range of calibers and barrel lengths, making it ideal for builders tuning short-barreled rifles, 300 Blackout systems, or suppressed setups. This buffer remains competitively light while delivering measurable performance, extending component life by minimizing shock loads on critical parts like the bolt tail and receiver extension during firing and feeding cycles.
