spring noise

[killer1963daddy]

hey guys!, i own two ARs the first is a 10.5 cqa(norc) and i just bought a 20" cq311(norc), because off the NOISE that comes out of the 10.5 i never noticed the buffer spring sounds. with the 20" it is allmost distracting....is there a way to muffle it? better parts? or do all AR types sound like that? is the older design stock amplifiing it?

Twang Buster. I have a friend that put one in his Norc. Worked good.

I don't hear sounds for my ar15..

It's a non issue.

The muzzle end generates much more noise, you know...

 

[JTF#]

they all do it.
i have a bolt gun with a bipod that has a spring on it and it makes the twang sound too.

Grease the spring is supposed to help? I found the 'sproing' irritating also....

if you use a fixed AR stock with ear muffs, the vibration of the stock and earmuffs make an awesome TWAAAAAAAAAANG

I think it's cool. Listening to the spring sound can tell you if everything is working right. Different sound? Something's up...

Grease the spring, grease the ever living hell out of that spring… or, polish the spring or get a polished spring… or, that twang buster thing… really, it is just an annoying sound.

I have never heard this sound out of either of my AR's. I guess I'm just lucky, or you're all insane

Lol... I think I noticed the spring action in my first AR the first little bit, but after a while it didn't bother me at all. I suppose it's a good thing though, if you hear something really weird going on, then you know there's something wrong.

Don’t ask how I know this, but if you clean all the grease off of your spring and don’t re-grease it properly… yeah… or if you have a relatively smooth or polished spring it won’t make the sound as much…

Get over it.
I can tell when I've got slide lock...time to change mags....when the 'sproing' changes.
Embrace the 'sproing'.

 

[enefgee]

Technically, the buffer and spring should be run dry. Just get used to the noise, then you'll always know when you need to change your mag.

I heard the "sproing" the first time I fired my Colt SP1. It made me chuckle with an ear to ear grin..........
