I've been running a Spike's ST-T2 buffer in my M&P15T for more than 6 months and well over 1,000 rounds and here's my take:
1. Quality of the product is very high. Machining , finish, etched markings - all show a high degree of attention to detail. Weight is a bit heavier than a standard H buffer but not quite as heavy as a H2. Functions flawlessly and, as mentioned in an earlier post, it's quiet in cycling due to the lack of reciprocating weights. Concept seems similar to a dead-blow type hammer. My M&P15T cycles a bit smoother, quieter, and perceived recoil impulse is reduced slightly.
2. There has been no change in the inherent accuracy of the weapon as a result of this product. This said the heavier buffer in combination with a BCE Battle Comp muzzle brake has shaved time off follow-up shots by smoothing / reducing recoil impulse (as perceived) and practically eliminating muzzle rise. The Spike's buffer plays only a small part in this improvement but it's not insignificant IMO. Accuracy on quick follow-up shots under stress has improved and the ST-T2 buffer has played a role in this improvement.
3. I can't say. I can tell you that my M&P15T cycles everything I feed it flawlessly.
Hope this is helpful.
