Helpful Positive Review H2 Wieght & Spring by JRZ, Verified Owner, December 25, 2023
Works perfectly on 14.5/16" barrels with a front post non adjustable gas block. Regardless of your setup, you can tell the rifle is overgassed when the shells cases land around 1 o'clock and gassed properly when they land at 3 o'clock. If you have a ...

Helpful Positive Review My go to buffer system by Michael, July 21, 2022
While carbine springs, flat wire springs, chrome silicon springs and whatever choice of buffer will work for most applications some say these braided wire springs will last longer, prolonged use. I haven't tested this to the fullest but these Geissel...

Helpful Positive Review quality product by euphoriq, January 3, 2023
Well made out of quality materials. Geissele lives up to the price tag, would definitely recommend the h3 if you have a severely overgassed system, pistol, or just want to calm down a heavier caliber.

Helpful Positive Review Super 42 Buffer by CJ, March 16, 2022
Great combination between spring and buffer. Eliminates the twang commonly heard in the platform. Make sure to order the right weight depending on your application. Running suppressed you obviously want to go heavier. Geissele has a guide on their we...

Helpful Positive Review Twang is gone. by Randall, November 29, 2021
Bought the H1 for a 16” mid-length and so far it does everything is claims to do. No recoil harmonics (twang) is amazing for all shooters, and while .223 is already soft I did feel a slight improvement in felt recoil. It ejects at 4 o’clock consisten...

Helpful Positive Review Great product but could cause short stroking. by Alex, Verified Owner, April 28, 2023
So just in case any one cares, if you are sporting a 16” mil-spec to mostly mil-spec rifle, the H2 could cause your rifle to short stroke as there’s not enough gas normally to push the BCG back far enough to properly engage the next round. Found this...

Product Info for Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo

The Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo was designed to improve the function and reliability of your AR-15 pattern rifle. The unique spring design of these AR15 Buffer Springs uses three independent strands of wire, just like the German MG42 Machine Gun. This concept acts as a harmonic damper and energy absorber by allowing the springs to flex separately from each other. This flex helps displace excess energy which decreases the chance of spring failure and assists with making your AR-15 more reliable.image

Compared to the stock spring, the Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo has a decreased tendency to lose length and force over a given round count. As an added bonus, it removes the annoying spring reverberations (twang) heard and felt by the shooter through the buttstock. The Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo has a 15% stronger average return force than the standard buffer spring. This will assist in stripping rounds out of the magazine when operating with a dirty weapon or when using steel-case ammo.

NOTE: The Super 42 is for use with Carbine length buffer tubes and is not compatible with rifle length or A5 buffer tubes/receiver extensions.

We do not recommend the Super 42 with 300 Blackout subsonic ammunition. The Super 42 Spring may be too powerful and not allow the rifle to function properly.
