To everyone who has one......I love mine, can't wait to get the LMT SOPMOD also.  

One question, I replaced my buffer tube w/ a Vltor one and use a heavy buffer and the old spring.  There is a zinging sound as I charge the carbine now, whereas before there wasn't a zinging of the spring.  I changed the spring with the one Vltor supplied and it soften the sound.  Is that normal?  But is still there.

I'll range test it later this week for function.

It's when you don't get the "SPROINNNGG"...

That's a problem.

If the noise bothers you, get the Tubb's Speedlock Spring.    Sinclair and Brownell's both carry it.  
Just under $25.

That seems to be normal in many buffer tubes, more prevalent on the collasable stocks. Funny but I just put an old CAR style buffer tube and stock on my Bushy lower and I have non-existent sproinnng sound neither does my dad's old 74 Colt SP1.

I just installed the LMT SOPMOD on my Bushmaster. I love it. It's by far the most comfortable collapsible stock I've ever used. I was really torn between it and the Vlotr, but now I think I'll have to do what you did, and get both!

I have never tried that spring.

But for me, I can attest that the Wolff XP Action Spring will quiet down the sound considerable.  But YMMV.
