Description
Geissele Super 42 Braided Buffer Spring and H3 Buffer
The Geissele Automatics Super 42 braided buffer spring and H3 buffer combo available at Defense Distributors is an enhanced recoil system upgrade for AR-15 pattern rifles and carbines. The Super 42 braided spring uses multiple intertwined wire strands to distribute energy more smoothly than a conventional spring. When paired with the heavier H3 buffer it slows and smooths the recoil impulse while promoting consistent cycling. This setup improves shooter comfort and operating reliability without changing the rifle’s core function.
What It Does
This braided spring and buffer system alters how your rifle handles recoil and returns to battery. The Super 42 spring’s braided construction flexes evenly across multiple strands to reduce spring bounce and felt vibration. The H3 buffer adds additional mass to the recoil system, slowing the bolt carrier group’s rearward motion and smoothing the energy transfer. The result is a more controlled recoil impulse and enhanced feeding and extraction consistency across a range of ammunition types.

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 increased buffer weight paired with the braided spring gives a smoother, softer recoil feel compared to standard recoil systems.
Is installation difficult?
Installation replaces the existing buffer and spring inside the buffer tube and follows the normal AR-15 recoil assembly procedure.
Will this work with different types of ammunition?
It is designed to promote reliable cycling across a range of ammunition commonly used in AR-15 rifles.
Does it help with cycling consistency?
The combination of braided spring and heavier buffer weight promotes consistent movement of the bolt carrier group.
Is special upkeep required?
A light application of quality lubricant on contact surfaces helps maintain smooth operation and longevity.
