My only pet peeve I have regarding my rifle is that everytime the bolt slams shut to chamber a round, I hear the buffer spring vibrating in the telestock. Makes my $1000 rifle sound kinda... how should I say, "cheap." All the parts for the stock came from RRA. Is this normal or is the spring loose somehow? My rifle otherwise functions normally. |

I hear the spring/buffer in my AR's every time I fire or operate the bolt. I don't remember handling one that didn't make that noise. Just part of the design. One of those pneumatic buffers would probably cure it, but I'd rather hear the "SPROING" than shell out a hundred bucks. |

ShadowOne, your rifle is obviously defective, and dangerous to boot...but I'd be willing to take it off your hands for 1/3 of what you paid for it. [:D] Obviously I'm funnin' ya...but you should get used to that noise lol...you'll be hearing it a lot! I had the same reaction when I got my first AR...I coulnd't believe they made that noise! But, now I kinda like it...if I even notice it. |

I seriously thought I put in the spring wrong or something the first time I took the rifle out to shoot, but it has never failed to chamber so I haven't touched it. Anyway, glad to hear I'm the only one with a springy AR. |
| I absolutely hate the sprong sound.. 'Makes my expensive rifles sound like a Red Ryder BB gun... Lube up the spring really well then let it dry. Put it back in and you should have no more sprong.. Thats what I did but you can always buy a pneumatic buffer if you dont like the idea of giving something else for the dirt to stick to.. |

ShadowOne the problem can be cured in 3 ways. 1. Sell or give this obviously defective gun to me. 2. Fire from hip. 3. Rapid fire. [heavy] Jokes aside its part of the design and the sound does let you know when you are empty (or have a malfunction). But guys for some reason I seem to here less sprong in my AR that has a teletock vs. the regular A1 and A2. Maybe its just me? |

I think it resonates more with an A1 or A2. |
