I finaly got to go shooting with my Ar-15 Yay!!! shot well, just tossing rounds down range out doors, not target shooting at all. Had some Mag issues, but those are mag problems not the guns problem. While shooting I could hear the recoil spring in the stock, is that normal? My AR-15 is a peban Colt Lower A2, with a Flat top A3 upper, 16" barrel. |
| It wouldn't be the same without the Boiiing, but in case you do want to make it quieter I accidentally found a way. I built a new DCM rifle and ordered a RRA complete A2 stock for it. While assembling it I notice the spacer ( the one that goes on the end of the buffer tube on the inside of the stock) was black plastic, not blackened aluminum like on my Oly. The rifle didn't make the Boiing sound. Later on I switched spacers with my Olympic carbine, it no longer made the sound with the plastic spacer. I prefer the aluminum spacer and will probably order another and throw the plastic one away, but if you did want to get rid of the sound, that did it for me, comepletely by accident. |
