As to your buffer spring question, I have not heard of this. Personally I confess I'm not an expert on buffers and which weights are best for what, but my Arc's all work fine with either a reglar buffer or a n H1. Springs are either the basic one or sometimes I get a "centerless ground" one. Haven't figured out what that really means though. They seem to be the same thing but maybe made a bit better than the standard ones.
To really discuss buffers and springs, we'd need to know the entire setup. If you want to pursue, maybe open up a thread in the gas/AR forum portion or troubleshooting...
Thanks Grayfox for the welcome and reply.
I have been building ARs for over 25 years. My 6 Arc has a 20 inch Faxon barrel, rifle length gas tube and runs flawlessly... but only after I slightly reduced the length of the buffer spring.
I am going to check the gas port and see if I can fix that by drilling it out a bit, I have an adjustable gas block so I will be able to adjust it afterwards.
I also have a new 24 inch barrel coming in a few days and will check that first before installing it.
