Q
Atox, member, from LA, United States, asked on June 19, 2022

Is this compatible with buffers from vltor A5 system?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on July 08, 2022

According to VLTOR the VLTOR A5 buffers can only be used with VLTOR A5 buffer assembly components. So it will most likely not work with the Geissele Rifle Length Spring, 42 in. However, I recommend contacting VLTOR to confirm.
