The Vltor A5 System

[JediGuy]

Please provide feedback on how they function with your setups. They are supposed to be a little stronger, so curious how that impacts the system.

Today I received two Geissele Super 42 rifle springs.

I look forward to testing them out. They work with standard rifle/A5 buffers unlike geissele carbine offering.

I'm running the Geissele Super 42 rifle springs in two separate A5 setups, one is on a 10.3 and the other is on an 11.5, both are my favorite two rifles to shoot by far!
You'll like the super 42's. It reminds me of a sewing machine. But the downside is I'm going through more ammo now. haha

Have you used other springs to compare to the Super 42? Sprinco Green? Any comparison you can offer?

No, just the super 42. I haven't had any issues whatsoever since I got them tuned to my liking.

Has anyone rolled their own A5 buffer weight?

I have extra carbine H1-H3 buffers and don't feel like spending $50+ to experiment with heavier A5 variants.

The individual weights are the same except for the spring loaded weight at the back, so go wild with it.

However, if a setup needs much more than A5H2, it may be over gassed and addressing that would be more beneficial.

The A5 buffers use the same size weights, so as long as you have the A5 buffer you can put whatever weights you want in it.
The last weight in the A5 buffer has a little hole to hold the spring in, but you can stick the spring in the rubber stopper and it holds in place just fine.
