Description
G3 Rifle Buffer Spring
This is a German Army buffer spring assembly for the G3 rifle, the 7.62x51mm battle rifle the Bundeswehr issued for decades. The buffer takes the rearward energy of the bolt group at the end of its travel, so the bolt is not driven hard into the rear of the rifle every time it cycles. G3 owners, builders and armorers keep one on hand as a spare or to replace a tired buffer in an existing rifle.
Features
- German Army Issue — An originally issued government part from German military stocks, not an aftermarket copy.
- Steel Coil Spring — A heavy-gauge, dark-finished steel compression spring runs the full length of the assembly.
- Segmented Buffer Rings — Copper-toned ring segments sit between the coils and add friction and mass, which helps soak up the bolt's impact.
- Open Coil Ends — Free coils at each end let the assembly compress under load and return to length afterward.
- Hollow Center Bore — The assembly is open through the middle, as the photographs show.
- Compact Cylindrical Form — A short, self-contained unit that drops into place as a single part.
- G3 Pattern Fit — Built for the G3 rifle; confirm compatibility before fitting it to clones or derivative designs.
Original Issue Part
German Army supply produced this buffer to the issue specification for the G3. It pairs a steel coil with interlocking copper-toned segments, the same design found in service rifles. A genuine issue part is a safer choice than a part of unknown origin for owners who want their G3 to stay correct to its original build, and collectors value it for the same reason.

Same spring that was in my issued G3This is the real deal Bundeswehr surplus not some aftermarket copy. Mine came in great shape, light surface oxidation on the spring coils but nothing that affects function, and the copper buffer weight was intact which is the part that usually goes missing. Dropped it straight into my PTR 91 and it cycled perfectly first range trip. At six bucks you'd be crazy not to grab a handful of spares because these are getting harder to find every year as the old German stocks dry up.
Genuine HK manufacture, not a reproduction
Complete assembly with buffer weight intactLight surface rust on mine, nothing serious but worth noting

A Must!Buffer Spring was in good over-all condition. Definitely good for a spare. Price was outstanding and shipping was fast. Great product!

Good for spare parts kitI bought these for a spare parts kit I'm building. It was great deal compared to other places. The buffer springs were worn, but serviceable.

Good item to keep on handHaving finally managed to get one of my G3 buffer assemblies apart for routine maintenance I found the 50 year old spring was broken. So now once I get the other 4 apart I am glad these are available at a fair price. Needless to say, I'll most likely replace all of them and pick up a spare with it, but the point is it's nice to have a spare on hand as the 50 year old spring in your gun is most likely due to be replaced. Also these can cost far more in some of the rip off sites so here is a good place to pick up a item you will likely need. Thanks KS RemMax
