8.5 inch AR
Just bought a 8.5" PSA 5.56 upper with pistol gas sys. Need suggestions on buffer weight.

I use an H2 with my 8.5" 300 Blackout pistol and it runs like a sewing machine ( only a lot louder).

I have a 5.56 10.5" upper with carbine gas and a 300 BLK 7.5" upper with pistol gas. Both run flawlessly with either a carbine buffer or H2 buffer. The pistol gas will make it more reliable with such a short BBL.
