Questions & Answers
Can I use this for my Aero M5 (.308) Mid length, 16” Barrel Expert Answer

Yes, the Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo will be compatible with your Aero Precision M5 as long as you are using a carbine length buffer tube. I would recommend the H2 buffer.

Would you recommend H2 or H3? For a AR’s chambered in 556 with a 10.5/11.5/12.5 barrels? All 3 with be ran with and without a suppressor. Expert Answer

The Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo H2 and H3 model will work for all of those rifles. However, I recommend going with the H3 model if you will be switching between suppressed and unsuppressed.

Product Info for Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo

The Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo was designed to improve the function and reliability of your AR-15 pattern rifle. The unique spring design of these AR15 Buffer Springs uses three independent strands of wire, just like the German MG42 Machine Gun. This concept acts as a harmonic damper and energy absorber by allowing the springs to flex separately from each other. This flex helps displace excess energy which decreases the chance of spring failure and assists with making your AR-15 more reliable.image

Compared to the stock spring, the Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo has a decreased tendency to lose length and force over a given round count. As an added bonus, it removes the annoying spring reverberations (twang) heard and felt by the shooter through the buttstock. The Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo has a 15% stronger average return force than the standard buffer spring. This will assist in stripping rounds out of the magazine when operating with a dirty weapon or when using steel-case ammo.

NOTE: The Super 42 is for use with Carbine length buffer tubes and is not compatible with rifle length or A5 buffer tubes/receiver extensions.

We do not recommend the Super 42 with 300 Blackout subsonic ammunition. The Super 42 Spring may be too powerful and not allow the rifle to function properly.
