The Geissele Automatics Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo uses a unique three-strand braided buffer spring similar to the legendary German MG42 machine gun. This arrangement allows for better energy absorption and harmonic dampening by allowing the springs to flex separately against each other, increasing the reliability and improving the function of your AR-15. Includes a heavy carbine buffer.

Note: This combo is not suggested for use with 300 Blackout subsonic ammunition.

Features:
  • Designed after the MG42 machine gun recoil spring
  • Provides a longer spring life and more reliable function
  • Includes a heavy carbine buffer


For use with AR-15 Carbine receiver extensions only, will not work with A5 length or rifle length extensions.

Awesome!

by

I bought this spring mostly out of curiosity than a true desire to have it. I'm glad I did. The rifle shoots much smoother and the twang of the spring is practically gone. I plan on putting this spring/buffer combo on my other four rifles as soon as it comes back in stock.I do wish the price was a little lower but I suppose quality does come with a higher price tag.

Don't ship with usps

by

New to Primary Arms and have purchased from before using fedex without having any issues. I thought I could save a little on shipping as I didn't need it immediately. The shipment shows as arriving to the usps facility but never leaving. The shipment is now overdue 3 days without any usps update.I e mailed Primary Arms and am awaiting reply. I will update if possible.A real bummer because no one else has the super 42 in stock.

Twang!!

Given what it is it works and does make the twang quieter.

Twang!? What twang?

by -

Using this in a 7.5" configuration and is absolutely suited for the task. Tried a few combinations of H1/H2/H3 buffers and springs, JP silent capture spring and the Super 42 definitely performs as advertised. Shooting M193, the pressures and recoil are minimized and the "twang" of the spring cycling is almost completely neutralized. The only CON is the proprietary buffer. Otherwise, buy with confidence, this product works.

You are gonna want one of these.

I replaced my Strike Ind. flat wire spring with this one. That spring was great but I wanted to try a Geissele in my URGI upper. It is about 3 inches shorter than the Strike so that concerned me. 600 rounds later I am no longer concerned, this braided wire spring and buffer is really slick. I cant tell that changed the sound of the action but it has made the recoil impulse better. It is hard to explain but this spring results in a really smooth and gentle recoil impulse. This is most evident with rapid fire, trying to keep the rounds impacting in the same spot. My gun is a mid length gas so I am not sure about carbine length results. I have had no short strokes or cycling issues or any sort. It has been 100 percent.

Worth every penny

by

I have installed it on my custom AR-15 no issues whatsoever put hundreds of rounds worked every time worth every penny.

Works great but not for .224 Valkyrie builds

by -

I have two of these buffer systems and I've never had an issue with either of them and it removes that twang standard carbine buffer systems have. I bought the second originally for a .224 Valkyrie build I was working on. I spoke with Geissele via email asking if it would work, they told me it was designed for .223/5.56 but they couldn't give me a solid yes or no. I bought it thinking if it does great and if it doesn't I would swap it with one of my other 5.56 AR's. In my experience I couldn't get it to cycle properly. It would eject the spent case but it was short stroking and failing to strip the next round. I tried several magazines and I always got the same result. I was using a low pro non-adjustable gas block on a 20" Wilson Combat Fluted Super Sniper barrel. The handguard I was using wouldn't allow any .850 adjustable gas blocks to clear the inside diameter. Ater switching to a standard buffer and spring my cycling issue went away.

Awesome

No twang, great quality, great cycling. It's all I buy pretty much.

Will buy again for my next build

by

No vibrations or "twang" no scratchy noises installed 1 year ago with no issues whatsoever on my custom built ar paired with the single stage Geissele trigger will buy again for my next build.

Love this spring. It's extremely quiet without the twang sound. It's not complicated and installs like any other buffer spring would.
