Im in the process of a new precision build and noticed Geisseles braided spring and H buffer kit. Its $65. is it worth it or newfangled hype? What are the obvious benefits or lack there of?
Just curious if anyone has tried one or had any first hand experience with braided buffer springs? |

I like Geissele products in general, but I see this one as kinda pointless.
I prefer Damage Industries and Sprinco springs with a traditional sized buffer and less cost. Damage states their enhanced springs are good for 750,000 cycles. Sprinco's are supposed to be good for 1,500,000+. Damage is $6 on sale + shipping. Sprinco is $20 delivered. I would be more receptive of Geissele's spring if it used a standard sized buffer and cost a little less. I just don't see paying extra for a spring that lasts 150,000 cycles and uses an odd buffer. ETA: To be completely fair, a regular H buffer is about $30 and a Sprinco is $20, so it's only $15 extra for the G product. It's also sold as a pair and the spring will last as long as your rifle does, so its not like the funny sized buffer is really going to cause issues. |

yeah I've been running a Blue Sprinco with a Spikes -T2 in my BCM mid-length and it purrs no twang also. I was just curious since I had never seen a braided one for the AR before.. I also just realized from a you-tube video that it takes a special smaller diameter buffer because the ID of the spring is smaller. So I guess Its a no go
Thanx |
