It would be quiet.
Probably won't work worth a damn......... Just grease it up a bit, IF you care. |

Sure, it could be done.... though, I'd wonder how long the plastic coating would last, considering the friction involved. I suppose if you used the most durable type they make, it was petroleum resistant, and keeping it oiled/greased, it could very well work nicely... Hell, I just slopped some plain old rifle grease on my buffer spring, and it quieted down a bunch. I'd imagine plastic coating it would work better perhaps. |

I have used Judy Butter, a light grease used on bikes and skateboards, etc.
Apply a light coat to the recoil spring and it dampens the recoil "sproing" noise. |

Plastic coating would have too much drag.
Teflon would work, but might not silence things much |

I love "sproing" It's the sound an AR is *supposed* to make.

+1 A bit of grease works for me. Like the noise is so noticable... |

Yeah, it dosent bother me at all. Just curious. I would hate to grease it up too much though. It would make a damn mess when cleaning. |

I agree. It lets you know when the slide locks back if you listen for it. |

Grease does help noise, but when the temperatures dropped I had feeding issues. I cleaned mine out and try to "enjoy the noise". But you have me wondering now: we have some "spaghetti tubing" in Teflon® at work for small wires that may work, I'll have to give it a try.

I don't hear the noise when I'm spray firing from the hip and getting more thrusts per squeeze.
