Silent AR-15 Buffer spring?

[Cameramonkey]

Love my AR. But the "sprooioioioing" of the buffer spring when fired is kinda annoying.

Anyone know of a way to quiet it down?

I can't look it up right now because I'm about to leave work, but I believe someone out there, (JP Enterprises maybe?) Makes a "silent" buffer spring. I thinks its coated with something.

Someone will probably beat me to the details by the time I get home.

EDIT: how much does it annoy you http://www.jprifles.com/1.4.7.2_os.php

They do offer polished springs towards the bottom for a more reasonable cost. Supposed to be quieter

I couldn't be happier with my jp silent captured spring system. I will never run anything else in my Ar's. Completely silent and function flawlessly

Awesome. At $140, Its not quite THAT annoying, but when I get some fun money I'll get one.

INGO ROCKS!!!!

You could look into the ground and polished ones at the bottom of the link I posted. They are marketed as smoother and quieter. I don't have one so I can't give you a review. They are $20

Ive been presented with that same predicament before... spend a little and take a chance, or double down and absolutely fix it.

As I said, Its not THAT bad, but not worth throwing away $20 only to turn around and buy the guaranteed fix. My guy says I wouldnt be happy.

I dont notice the dragging noise as much as the vibration. I would expect the polished version to fix the scraping, but not the vibration. I'll hold out for the big fix.

You can get some damned fine hearing protection for $140.

I agree thats the thing i dislike the most of the spring bouncing around in there. My brother in law has one of those captured springs, its pretty nice!

Im already wearing $100 earpro. I can hear it because my skull is welded to it. Bone conduction.

I have 5 and I can't feel or hear it. 4 Colt M4s and Armalite 10-4. I must be oblivious to it.

Those JP springs are pretty cool on something like a suppressed 300blk when shooting subs!

What stock are you running? Does that make a difference?

I run a Dynacomp. I've never heard mine, that I can identify.

Standard collapsible stock.

I wish. This is a post ban Bushmaster. Pinned Flash hider. One day I'll have a freefloat custom flattop upper.

I love the sproing... let's me know if anything sounds 'off'
I guess it doesn't bother me... but then again, I always shoot from the hip, or a mirror, annie oakley style
