Geissele Automatics Super 42 Rifle Length Spring

The last line of the product description say it comes with a buffer but in the picture there is none. I'm assuming that the price of $25 means it is without the buffer and the description is wrong.

From PA Customer service: Thank you for your feedback, we have corrected the description.

Bought this for an Aero Precision M16. That rifle will not cycle. I have cleaned and oiled everything and even tried different BCG's from Noveske, DD and BCM. None helped and i knew it was the buffer spring. Perhaps the buffer tube itself is out of spec, i don't know but the spring seems incredibly weak to me. The Geissele is a night and day difference in strength and feel. I highly recommend it. To be honest, as soon as i charged the rifle with the Geissele in it, i smiled and said, WOW !!
I will be going out to shoot it in a couple weeks and if it doesn't fix the issue i'll be shocked.

Purchased for new AR-15 build. I've used a mil-spec buffer spring, a flat wire buffer spring, and now the Geissele Super 42. Even with an adjustable gas block, I didn't care for the mil-spec spring in the least. While the flat wire spring didn't have the bounce of the mil-spec, and had reduced recoil vs the mil-spec spring, it still has the spring twang. However, the Super 42 spring does not have the bounce of the mil-spec, has even more recoil reduction than the flat wire spring, and the twang is gone. I just purchased a second one of these and another adjustable gas block for use in my older 308 build, cannot wait to tame that recoil a bit!!!

I would definitely recommend this for any build, new or old. Well worth the $$$.

Spring quality is super good. Feels solid and does its job with improved longevity.

Just got it in the mail and did a little shooting with it while alternating this spring with my Aero Precision rifle spring, and I am super happy with it, no more *twang! Noise when shooting which is so nice! I saw a lot of reviews elsewhere about this spring reducing some of the recoil and while I was very skeptical of that I can confirm that it does slightly reduce recoil on my rifle, which makes a already smooth shooting rifle that much smoother and aids getting on target a little faster. I am very happy with this order and it is well worth the money!

This is for Rifle length buffer tubes only. No Buffer is included. The braided spring has been used since WW2 in military arms. The Germans and Russians all use the braided springs in firearms. Now I have one for my AR MK 12/Mod 0.

I purchased three of these in conjunction with my Vltor A5 buffer system. It cycles really well. No complaints.

As a new AR assembler (having moved over from years of building AKs) I can say I honestly don't have a whole lot of trigger time. That said, this spring is substantially quieter than a traditional single coil rifle-length spring. To my untrained ear, after lightly oiling both and trying them at the range, this one is noticably quieter. If that kind of thing bothers people (loud springs) then this is a fantastic upgrade.

Aside from that, Geissele has a legendary reputation so I have no reason to not think this spring will last me until the end of my days.

I bought one of these springs on a whim. I was trying to change the ejection pattern on my AR Pistol. I paired it with an Expo Arms H3 buffer which fit perfectly. The spring worked so got with the pairing that I just ordered two more of these springs to pop into two other rifles.

The SFAR had recoil that I wanted to tame. This paired with an Odin Works adjustable buffer seemed to have made the recoil of the 308 more manageable. I'll be ordering a dedicated h2 buffer for the SFAR now that the softer recoiling buffer weight has been found. I'll also be throwing one of these in my A5 buffer system as the green sprinco was more noisy than I like with the twang as the BCG reciprocated. This should also help quiet the twang in the A5 buffer as it did in the SFAR buffer. I recommend this upgrade for better recoil and more quiet operation.
