AR15 Silent Recoil Spring System - Any experience with this one?

[Eurodriver]

I have shot at least 100 different AR15s and M16s and M4s in my life and I can recall exactly one AR that I could hear/feel the “sproing” noise that people complain about. It was 2006 and it was a post ban 20” Bushmaster with a fixed stock.

I’ve never heard it since. Is it specific to low end garbage or something?

Do you not shoot suppressed?

I do. Exclusively. What’s your point?

That adjustable gas blocks are a good good way to tune your suppressed rifle to the ammo that you are using.

Strange, the only one I can think of that bothered me was a post ban Bushy carbine. With a pinned carbine stock.

I have an LR-308 that cycles so slow and springy that I get a kick out of shooting the damn thing just to hear it cycle.

OP, are you shooting with muffs or plugs? If muffs and you break your cheekweld and fire, do you still notice it? You may be resting the muff on the buffer tube and magnifying the spring noise.

I typically run Springco or VLTOR recoil springs and have never noticed the noise. My nephew has one of those cheap PSA build kits with a carbine spring of unknown origin and it's sproingy as hell. Even with a little lube on the spring it sounds like a rusty mattress.

My JP upper with a rifle length system on it will 'sproing'. I greased the spring which quieted it up, but the grease got dirty and started migrating forward, so I cleaned it all out. I'm living with the srping. It has an adjustable GB on it so I think tuning it has it so that you can sense and hear it better? I don't notice it on other guns, but all those are usually carbines.

My son's gammer gun we put a JP silent spring in. Works pretty well, but it is a carbine length set-up anyways. I'm pretty immune to distractions while shooting, but that 'sproing' was almost comical. Sounds like a spring BB gun, almost had be giggling on some stages.

Does a spring 'sroing' when it isn't coming back and smacking the crap out of the back of the receiver extension?
