Description
The Geissele Super 42 buffer spring represents a significant upgrade from standard mil-spec components. This braided wire buffer spring design eliminates the traditional spring “twang” and vibration noise common in AR-15 rifles. The three-strand braided wire construction maintains a consistent spring rate throughout the compression cycle, providing superior reliability and performance compared to traditional coil springs.
Braided Wire Buffer Spring Advantages
The Geissele Super 42 buffer spring uses a unique three-strand braided wire construction that fundamentally changes how energy is managed in your AR-15 platform. This buffer spring design eliminates the annoying metallic “pinging” sound that occurs with coil-based systems. The braided construction provides consistent damping characteristics, which means more reliable cycling and reduced wear on internal components. Shooters appreciate the noise reduction during range sessions and the improved tactile feedback during operation.
H2 Buffer Compatibility and Performance
Included with this buffer spring is the H2 buffer weight, optimized for most standard AR-15 configurations. The H2 buffer works in concert with the Super 42 braided wire buffer spring to regulate bolt carrier group velocity. This combination provides excellent reliability across various ammunition types and barrel lengths. The buffer spring remains mil-spec buffer tube compatible, making installation straightforward on any standard AR-15 lower receiver. Consistent spring rate ensures predictable performance whether shooting suppressed or unsuppressed.
Enhanced Reliability and Consistency
Upgrading to a Geissele Super 42 buffer spring improves overall rifle reliability and consistency. The improved spring rate consistency contributes to more reliable feeding and ejection. Reduced mechanical noise means cleaner operation and better shooting experience. The braided wire construction is more durable than traditional springs, resisting permanent compression and fatigue over extended use. This buffer spring investment pays dividends through improved performance and reduced maintenance requirements.
