OK, crazy question about my AR15

[sbi]

When I shoot it, I can hear the buttstock spring 'echos' when the bolt carrier returns forward, like an echoed spring in a hollow tube (which is what it is ), but it kind'a pisses me off.
Any way to stop it?

Thanks.

Yep, turn it in to your local authorities and you will never be bothered by that annoying sound again.

Something like this, perhaps?

I was searching for a witty response, but FPrice wins the internet today.

Some tubes/springs are more prone to “twang” than others. When both are polished, noise is diminished.

It’s not safe. I am an AR-15 safety officer. I can safely dispose of it.

That "twanging noise"?

One of the books I've got recommended grease on the buffer spring. I tried it. It's a tossup as to which is more annoying, the twang or the grease dripping out.

Is there any way to stop it ? Yes there is, get a AK-47.

Try oiling it and gun grease. about the only thing other than trying the replacement springs.

I like the captured springs, but there is also:

Compared to the stock spring, The Geissele Super 42 Spring has a decreased tendency to lose length and force over a given round count. As an added bonus, it removes the annoying spring reverberations (twang) heard and felt by the shooter through the buttstock. The Super 42 Spring has a 15% stronger average return force than the standard buffer spring. This will assist in stripping rounds out of the magazine when operating with a dirty weapon or when using steel-case ammo. Included H1 Buffer can be converted to H2 and H3 weight by adding tungsten weights (Sold separately).

I have an ACE Skeleton on one of mine and that spring is loud in. None of the other ones do tho.
