I will say this again, it is the same weight as a milspec colt rifle buffer. Ideally 152-155 grams.
If it is more that is not good, it will help to beat the crap out of the bolt and bbl extension.
If it is too light it also presents another set of problems in that it does not allow the rifle to cycle as it should.
This was confirmed through the use of high speed film at an R&D facility at a major defense contractor.
No I did not tell anyone to use the 9mm buffer. I said to use the right buffer which is a H3 at minimum and an H3G is exactly the right weight.
The heavy stainless buffers do not utilize a dead blow effect, the weight merely hits the extension hard creating bounce.
Bill has an H3G, plus he has the prototype that came from.
So please do not tell people I recommended something which I never would have suggested.
