It doesn't need it so why do it? I never understood the noise question. It's a gun, it's supposed to make noice.

When the grease gets warm it can run out or splatter when you fire. |

A couple of weeks ago I 'repaired' a Colt 20" that was short stroking. The spring was coated in grease. I cleaned out the buffer tube, the spring and buffer and surprise, no more short stroking.
Just lightly spray the spring with a good gun oil to prevent rusting. That's all you want. Denny |

I thought a very light coat of oil (CLP) on the spring for general protection, but never grease the buffer spring or buffer, if it accumulates dirt and gets build up it can plug the screw hole and build up around teh buffer and then become "pressurized" because the air can't excape out...hence the short stroking like the previous poster noted.
Who besides me also likes the fact they can tell thebolt locked back after last round fired by the lack of "SPROIINGG" noise? No Expert |

Come on...it's a happy noise.
If it bothers you that much, try a small amount of grease. Test fire. It's your rifle, so do what works for you. |

I agree the sproiong is a happy noise, and it does tell me that the bold has locked back when emppty.

its not the spring noise when firing that is bad. its the scraping sound when trying to chamber a round and observe noise discipline.

I went out with her in college!  Seriously, just wipe the spring down with a light coat of CLP. I use a patch lightly coated in CLP and start at one end of the spring running the patch around each coil till I reach the end. This is not to reduce noise but simply to protect the spring from corrosion. One thing I do apply to the buffer face is Tetra Grease. I like a very thin film there to help reduce the metal to metal contact. I get a chuckle out of guys who say they sold their AR because of the “sproing” noise! |

or on the opposite end, when it gets cold it'll gum up and really piss you off...especially if it's already 'splattered.' |
