Description
Geissele Super 42 Braided Buffer Spring and H2 Buffer
The Geissele Automatics Super 42 braided buffer spring and H2 buffer combo available at Defense Distributors is a premium recoil system upgrade for AR-15 pattern rifles. The braided spring design uses multiple wire strands to distribute recoil energy more evenly than a conventional spring. Paired with the heavier H2 buffer it softens the recoil impulse and enhances cycling reliability. This combo brings greater smoothness to the operating system while preserving dependable function.
What It Does
This buffer spring and weight combination changes how the rifle recoils and resets. The Super 42’s braided strands flex individually, reducing bounce and spring noise that can be felt through the stock. The H2 buffer adds mass to slow the rearward motion of the bolt carrier group, smoothing out the recoil impulse and helping the system feed, extract and chamber rounds consistently. Together these parts improve reliability and shooter comfort without altering the rifle’s basic geometry.

FAQ
Will this fit my AR-15?
Yes. It is built to fit carbine length buffer tubes that are standard on many AR-15 pattern rifles.
Does this reduce felt recoil?
Yes. The heavier buffer combined with the braided spring softens the recoil impulse and helps make shooting smoother.
Is installation difficult?
Installation replaces the existing buffer and spring inside the buffer tube. It follows the normal process used for AR-15 recoil assemblies.
Will this work with many types of ammunition?
Yes. It is designed to improve cycling performance across a range of commonly used loads without compromising reliability.
Does this help with cycling consistency?
The braided spring design and heavier buffer work together to maintain consistent movement of the bolt carrier group.
Is special maintenance required?
A light application of quality lubricant on the spring and buffer contact areas helps maintain smooth operation and longevity.
