I just went out and shot an AR that I just built. Shot 160 rounds through it so far with only one problem. I can hear the buffer spring in the stock. Its an A-1 stock. Is it a probem with the buffer spring or something else. While the rifle functions fine I find the sound of the spring very annoying. What can I do about it. |

Thats how they are, some people grease the inside of the buffer tube. I can't see greasing the buffer tube to let it get crudded up just because of a noise. However, opinions are different, and it may be worth it if it bothers you that much. Now where are the pics?

| I hate the sproing too , and I put a little moly grease on the spring coils before inserting it . This helps emensly , and as long as you arnt going into some kind of a dusty situation ( Iraq or simular , dirt cling , lol ) it will work for a while before it needs reapplyed . There are other options that are perminante ( excuse my spelling as I have a migraine right now ) like the pneumatic or hydrolic buffers . |
