| Anyone have a cure for eliminating the sound of the buffer spring twang? |
|
I used the plastic/rubber dip stuff for tool handles found at auto parts and hardware
stores. Spread some on a cardboad box and roll the spring through it then let it dry even. Didnt efect function and has lasted over 3000 rounds in my AR 9mm and made it Quieter when the can is used. I have only been testing with the 9mm but may have to do the spring in my Integeral suppressed AR45 next. . What okguy91 said works too but even better on the coated spring. |

If you want to get rid of the twang get a hydraulic buffer I've seen them for sale in the EE from time to time. I think there made by Buffer Technologies I know you can get them at Midwayusa.com. How would that fix it ? You still have to use a spring.

If you have an AR with a full-length buffer, you could try one of these:
AC4 Pneumatic Recoil Buffer The unit replaces both the buffer AND recoil spring. Only works in rifle length buffers... |

that a good way to get somone hurt
Fill up the buffer tube with thick, nasty, heavy, gooey, grease. How exactly would this hurt someone? Yes even if totally full the bolt won't move but that isn't going to hurt anything or anyone . Then give it a try! and dont forget to take video so we can watch |

Try some grease, but very lite. This will quite it some, but after you shoot it a while and get used to the spring noise, you will ask yourself why you smeared grease on it.
My advice, shoot more & just get used to it. It will talk to you and tell you when the mag is empty even. mince |

Superior Shooting (David Tubbs) flat wire springs are significantly quieter than the round wire mil spec springs.
A bit of a pain getting them past the buffer retainer pin since the flay catches the tip o the plunger. I just use micro screw driver to hold the pin down. Brownells usually has them in stock. |
