Is this normal, or do I need more oil in there? I can basically just here it working, (compressing and bouncing back when I fire), but it doesnt seem to affect the wepon's performance at all.
Thank's And I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of those that have been so very very cool to me here at AR15, and have really edjucated me alot on this subject that I am so very interested in. I've only had my Bushmaster (AR) really for about 4 month's so I am very new to the weapon. Thank's again, Jander Shoot on!

I just posted the same article about 3 weeks ago after I shot my AR for the first time.
It is normal, some will say grease the hell out of it with prodect X, some will just say, get used to it, or some will even say, "take your earplugs off". If you ask me, I like it cause it lets me know if I'm out of ammo. When the bolt gets held open, it makes a "bong" noise. Lat |

"Cool" thank's dude, I thought that was the case. Hey, I guess it also let's you know the thing is doing it's job. What would the world be like without metalurgy? "hope I spelled that right"

Considering your jaw is right on top of the buffer tube, this is totally normal. As stated, coating the spring with HEAVY GREASE will dampen the vibrations somewhat, but will also collect dirt and dust, can leak grease if the rifle heats up, and is more of a pain to clean and maintain.

You know Jander, if you had an AK-47 you wouldn't have that problem. I mean, how good of a rifle can it be if you hear that spring all the time? How could you possibly hear someone coming up behind you while fireing your weapon?

I think you guys are hearing dead people.
 That's a normal operation of the action. That's the sound of more ammo and fun heading downrange.

my Ar done the same thing when i first started shooting it,after i cleaned and lubed it it seemed to stop. Personally i wouldnt worry about it. Hell i dont see any reason to put grease on it but to everyone there one, but ive never heard a colapable stock make that sound though.

I love that sound. Every time I hear it I'm reminded of the first time I fired an M-16A1 on Parris Island back in 82. Echo range, target 9. I put it in the same category as that beautiful "Ping" sound that is made as an M-1 ejects the clip after firing the eighth round. Music!

Nope. You still haven't acquired the appropriate flame skills to be taken seriously. A tip for future reference: Make sure that your flames are coherent so that we know you are trying to hurt somebody's feelings. I didn't realize that you were flaming anybody until I got to the "bitch" part. And the female stuff? Sad.

You might also want to take note that people wouldn't think you are such a jackass if you didn't have 275 stupid posts to your credit in less than a month. The flames would stop if you quit posting pointless and entirely idiotic questions over and over again. If you want an answer to a question that has probably already been asked a million times by newbies do a freakin' search. Additionally, don't ask every single fuckin' newbie question in existence. Hi-jacking posts about entirely different subjects to post you idiotic rantings about how great a certain weapon (that wasn't even being discussed) is over another is really rude.
Lastly, you might want to stop displaying your ignorance like you are an expert. Much of the "information" (term being used loosely) you have posted is either horribly old shit that almost all of the AR-15 community knows already or it's bullshit and myth that has been disproven. Those who can't shut the fuck up and listen learn nothing, so speaketh Confucious. |

Jander100 FYI, the term "Devil Dog" is a nickname given to the U.S. Marines by the Germans who fought against them in WWI. It's still commonly used today within the USMC. My guess is that DvlDog is/was a Marine. I would also venture to say he probably doesn't suffer from low self esteem. HTH. Semper Fidelis. |

I've read about 5 post that Jander has posted here in the last hour or so and my guess is he isn't going to be welcome here very long...
Jander, If I were you, I would tone down on the comments full of cursing, name-calling, and anything else you can think of...it isn't a way to get welcomed around here, if you catch my drift.

Sorry you took it as a flame, it wasn't directed at you personally. The buffer tube is hollow, when the spring is compressed and then let fly it's bound to make some noise as surely as the round will (normally) go off when you pull the trigger. Not a design flaw, just the way it works.
BTW, I've read enough posts authored by Dave_G to have respect for his knowledge, I'd never call him a bitch

Man... you guys are straight COLD. This isn't some exclusive country club... so stop acting like you are all a bunch of highbrow snobs. If a thread bothers you then dont post in it. It will drop off and something more interesting will be sure to come around. This community is a brother/sisterhood and all members should be made to feel welcome. I agree that topics should be searched but then again some people are less computer literate and do not understand boolean keyword searching via a SQL query against a database through an active server page application connected to an IP network.

I'm with BenDover. Jander is asking the same stuff I did when I bought my first AR. Jander, maybe you should ease up on the profanity a little. But then again, some of you guys should lay off the insults. I LOVE the sound of the spring! It validates my manhood because my penis is so tiny.

Your pride wouldn't get tested if you didn't consistantly post stupid comments. You flame people who are trying to educate you, very uncool. The great thing about the internet is that you have ample oppurtunity to think before you post something and then you can take back or edit what you have said. I suggest that you make better use of this advantage from now on. |

PSSSSST your not suposed to admit it....... You know what, my AR 10 doesn't make that noise. The noise is different, more solid. My grandma told me one day, "your never going to impress people with little 4 letter words." Then she shoved a bar of soap in my mouth. I like the sound of the 15's action... It speeks to me. Tells me when it's time to feed it some more. |

ok, so we're having a little fun with flames.
I, too, was surprised when i heard my first "sproing". when i looked at my friend who had some experience with spring-loaded rifles, he responded to my goofy confused look with a wide grin. then i went back to shooting, and by the end of the mag i, too, had the grin. i don't even notice it anymore. |

"you clearly shouldnt have one and i condemn your father for buying you one. moron" lmao!, my father? I bought my gun you dumbass lol, why did your daddy buy your's? The FFL dealer thought I should have one. It is really hard for me to believe that our prestigous USMC would have someone like you in the mix, god help us if I'm wrong.

with that said, i noticed the "sproing" sound when i fired round 1, of rifle 1. i greased the living shit out of the spring, and that was that ~ i always say it sounds like a BMW door slamming shut now: "kachunk!". my brother was so surprised when he heard it the first time, that he almost dropped the damn thing! >>still chuckling<< good luck!
