Overview
The Geissele Automatics Super 42 Tungsten Buffer Weight is an H3 carbine buffer designed to improve the cycling of your AR-15 by adding weight to the buffer system. This added weight helps to reduce felt recoil and improve overall reliability, particularly in builds utilizing a carbine gas system and firing 5.56 NATO rounds. You'll often find this buffer in builds aimed at maximizing performance for tactical or competition use.
