"Ping" sound from Norinco M305

[jonyork]

Hey guys,

First off, let me say that the gun itself is super accurate, whatever the case may be. However, there is a high pitch "ping" sound when shooting/cycling/operating. I was wondering if you guys had an idea what that might be, and how to identify it?

Thanks

I was under the impression you want it to ping.

It's the flash hider. They all do that, even real M14s.

You have a good one, be proud of it.

ok, so thats a good thing? It isn't self-destructing itself by something slamming into something else it shouldn't be kinda deal?

Ping means your flash suppresser is on tight so no need to peen it and yes the ping is a good thing. Ping is kinda like the tuning fork of the m14

It's a good thing. Everyone thinks it's something metal hitting in the receiver but it's actually the flash hider.

M14 makes the same sound.

ping is good, don't change sh!t

The Ping means the rifle has hit a state of Zen, don't change anything.

It's a great thing. The actual reason is that the flash hider is acting like a tuning fork.

Nice and tight, the ping proves right.

Sucks to be a former farmer/ truck driver/ mechanic (not deaf just hard of hearing as they say) haven't heard the ping from my M1A or my norinco but expect they do!!!! Will have to ask my buddy if my rifles are tuned.

Ahhhhh.... the ping! When the poodle shooter beside you at service rifle mentions that your rifle pings.....

Just smile knowingly and say "Ya, I know".

It's a beautiful sound.
First time I heard it i though it was feedback from my electronic ear muff

Up in the sticky(ies) are my YouTube videos. Or you could head over to Youtube and search for M14 University and you will hear my M1A PING like crazy whenever I shoot.

The barrel assembly in the rifle vibrates as ONE piece and the harmonics allow that slotted flash suppressor to PING out of pure happiness.

Found it. FAQ thread in the sticky top portion. Page two and post number 20. You will see my YouTube vids on there.


Cheers and keep helping them noobs out there.

I love the ping! When I rave about my m305 to fellow shooter enthusiasts that is one of the biggest topics I bring up

 

[Shifty11]

Does the Ping happen with all flash suppressors or just the stock one?

 

[HammerHeade]

Question for the informed, is the ping a deliberate design of the flash suppressor for checking tightness or was it a happy accident that it happens.
