Smbob, seems like you have a damn fine shooter on hand!
I have two 16" 6.5 Grendel carbines, one has a carbine gas system and I used a carbine buffer for a long time. I bought a Spike's T-2 buffer for another build where I ended up using an adjustable gas block. I thought I'd test the T-2 with the carbine length gas barrel and it has functioned fine really can't tell any difference when shooting.
My second 16" 6.5 Grendel is a Faxon mid length gas and is pretty light weight build. I noticed the recoil was noticeably heavier than my 16" H-Bar carbine gas so I had a H2 buffer I decided to test it in the Faxon. The H2 really smoothed out the recoil impulse on the Faxon group buy barrel build. The Faxon has still functioned 100% with the H2 buffer. I need to test the Faxon in cold weather to ensure it still functions but otherwise it's a keeper.
