Gentleman, I recently built an AR with a RR reciever and a M A parts 16" A4 Postban kit c/w A2 Stock. Upon initial shooting, I noticed a tremendous amount of vibration from the stock. Any thoughts or tips? |
| Its definitely the spring "boing"...It is pretty annoying...more excessive than any other AR15 or M16 I have shot....This was my first venture into assembling one so I wanted to make sure that wasn't the last sound a guy hears before they have a pile of parts in their lap....Any tips? |

Some guys coat the spring with grease. I don't because grease attracts dirt, and I don't like grunge in my weapon. Another option is one of the hydraulic buffers from Olympic, but they cost about $120 or so. Look at it this way - it's an audible signal that you just ran out of ammo since the spring won't go boing when the bolt locks back... Edited to add - you might want to try a different spring. And I do believe there is a spring on the market that is supposed to cure the problem. It's called the "Speedlock" spring by David Tubb. I'll try to find a link. |
