Range Report: New AR doesn't feel right.

[USN CHIEF]

1k rounds? he can buy a new upper.

Heck yeah, how else is he going to get good with his rifle if he does not shoot the **** out of it.?

NEVER USE GREASE ANYWHERE IN AN AR15, okay?

The noise in the buttstock may sound different due to different (commercial) tube sizes, buffer, etc.

As Xenohobe once wrote, "Sproing! Learn it, live it, love it!"

There's a chance your older rifle isn't cycling as well as the Bushy and you're used to the old one. Certainly with an 11.5" +FH bbl you're not getting that useable of a velocity.

The A2 stocks are a lot worse as far as the spring and buffer noise goes, but I wouldn't worry about it. It's just part of the AR experience! Soon it will be music to your ears.

My fathers RAW Colt AR's two of them have A2 buttstocks and they don't seem to be as noisy as mine. (I'm using a Rock River A2 stock kit). Hopefully shoot a few hundred more this weekend and see what happens. It's just kinda comical when you pull the trigger of your tacticool AR15 and you hear rrrrrraaaaazzzzziiiinnnnggggg!

[PolishMike]

its normal on a new rifle... even on an old one...

[Steve O]

lol. yea I'll just work on breaking it in. But it will be hard shooting the new ladie, while the smooth old boy is sitting right next to you. lol.

If you want a little less "Sproing" try the Tubb Flatwire spring. In my experience, I get a little less noise than when I was using round springs. All my Poodle Shooters have been switched over to the Tubb Spring.

At a Puppy Farm...

The entertaining thing about Poodles is they can stand very well on their hind legs. If you string jerky snacks on a clothes line above them, they stand up for you and give you a better shot.
I would have said Chihuahua shooter, but that would be Racist since it is a Mexican dog.

I don't think you're supposed to put any lube in the buffer tube. maybe a very light coat at most.

[r08ert209cali]

what about the 9mm buffer and spring? I have heard mixed opinions on that mod.

Motorcycle supplies

Perhaps this might be crazy to some, but I used motorcycle chain lube on the buffer spring as well as on the inside of the buffer tube. (lightly) It did signifigantly lower the noise of the spring inside the tube,as well as smooth out the cycling. The chainlube also has additives to it that make the lubricant adhere really well to the metal parts. Its quiteter, and the lubricant does not leak or creep out of the buffer tube assembly.
