Geissele Super 42 with H3 buffer install was a bit fiddly because the braided spring required some finesse to seat properly in the carbine extension. Once installed function is excellent - noticeably less twang felt through the stock.
Geissele Super 42 braided buffer spring with H3 buffer is well made. The braided spring noticeably reduces twang felt through the stock. H3 weight slows the bolt cycle for smoother shooting. Drops in any milspec carbine tube.
