Q: Can I run this E-series heavy buffer and light weight spring in a Q shorty stock for 300 blackout, or in a SB tactical hbpdw brace with a under gassed 300 blackout barrel?

Asked by: Nick - 8/9/2026
A: This is not compatible with Q's Honey Badger. It is compatible with SB Tactical HBPDW Brace, if running subsonics we recommend the pdw light spring.

Q: Will this work with the HBPDW brace? If so what spring would you suggest or will the factory spring be ok.

Asked by: Oscar - 6/27/2026
A: The PDW spring and buffers are compatible with the SB HBPDW brace. Spring is dependent on what you are using this for. We recommend the PDW standard spring for all calibers. We recommend the PDW light spring for use with 300BLK subs.

Q: I have an 8inch 300 BLK with the maxim defense pdw pistol brace. I have repeated stove pipe issues when running the standard H1 buffer and shooting subsonincs. Would the heavier buffer help with that?

Asked by: Steven - 5/23/2026
A: You can try the E-Series Heavy buffer and our PDW Light Spring we designed for use in 300BLK subsonic use. If it runs reliably with supersonic with no stove piping issues the light spring is probably the fix with subs. You can call Charles for more technical support.

Q: Hi, I am working on a ar15 pistol in 300 blackout, with a SB Tactical hbpdw brace, and a frt. Which buffer do recommend for this pistol? Thank you for your assistance

Asked by: Mike Marineau - 5/8/2026
A: E Heavy with light spring for 300BLK if you are running it with subsonic ammo. The feedback we have been getting back with customers is to get 100% reliability they have been running our buffer/spring and Enhanced Bolt Carrier with buffer technology that prevents carrier bounce.

Q: What are the weights of your H2 and E buffers?

Asked by: Jim O - 4/12/2026
A: We are no longer making the PDW H2 Buffer weight. E-Series Heavy Buffer and Spring (The Heavy now features a black bumper) is our new and improved E-Series 4oz. Heavy Buffer. Due to the design of acting as a dead blow hammer we can make it lighter than the PDW H2 (4.6oz) and create a better product in how it gradually shifts the weight inside the buffer creating a smoother feel over a one piece tungsten that slams all at once. With lots of R&D and being the patent holder of the PDW Buffer/Springs we are shifting to what we feel is superior in performance which is now our PDW E-Series Buffers. It has replaced the PDW H2 buffer. We have a video on our Bolt Carrier Page that shows Charles running our BCG with the E-Series 3 oz buffer running an FRT and runs fine and our E-Series Heavy is 4 oz.https://www.blackriflearms.com/ENHANCED-BOLT-CARRIERS-_c_10.html

Q: Will this buffer work with CMMG's Compact Ripstock, the one with the 5 position, 5.75" buffer tube and sometimes referred to as the Micro/CQB Ripstock? The CMMG product number is Product #45CA917. I would like try a heavier buffer in this proprietary system, their buffer is 2.125" and I believe it to be Carbine weight or approx. 3.2oz. Their buffer spring is shorter length, no.surprises there. Also, their buffer tube is 5.75" in length as previously stated. Thanks in advanced. John

Asked by: John Sleik - 11/27/2021
A: We believe it would work but not 100%, but I spoke with Charles and he said if you want to purchase it and test it out and if it doesn't work we would send you a return shipping label and have you return it for a full refund...it would cost you no return cost or restocking fees so if it doesn't work you are not out of monies. All he ask is if it does work please let us know and we will update our website to include this stock that our kit works with it. Thank you.
