The Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo (brand part no. 05-495-H2) pairs a braided-wire recoil spring with a heavy H2 carbine buffer for AR-15 rifles. Geissele Automatics models the spring after the recoil spring used in the MG42 machine gun, delivering a 15-percent-stronger average return force than a standard AR-15 buffer spring for more reliable cycling. The braided-wire construction resists the coil-set and kinking that shortens the life of standard springs, and the included H2 buffer adds mass to tame recoil impulse in suppressed and adjustable-gas builds. Among AR buffer systems, this Super 42 combo favors shooters who want longer spring life and a stronger, more consistent return stroke.
