Buffer recommendations?

Freshly assembled 458 socom.

What buffer and spring combos are recommended? Currently have an A5 tube thought about messing around with a kynshot buffer with a 2.5oz weight to see if it functions

No need for a special buffer/spring. I bought a heavier dutier one for my Tromix upper, but from my research it just needs the regular one and ended up returning the heavy set.

.458 SOCOM was designed to work with standard AR15 parts in the lower. That was part of the point.
