The Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and H3 Buffer Combo (brand part no. 05-495-H3) pairs Geissele’s popular braided buffer spring with an H3 buffer weight in a single, matched, drop-in system. The braided wire design reduces bolt carrier bounce and buzz compared to a standard round-wire spring, while the added mass of the H3 buffer weight helps tame recoil impulse, especially on short-barrel or suppressed builds where extra cyclic force needs somewhere to go. Together they smooth out cycling and improve reliability across a range of ammunition, a favorite combination among AR-15 owners chasing softer-shooting, more controllable rifles.
