I've read discussions about this but really got interested about a year ago when a friend of mine said my AR-15 made a funny twang sound when it fired. He said this was loud and annoying to his ear. Heck, I thought this was normal. I had never taken note of this. Recently, I took my DCM rifle which has a very loud recoil spring "Report" and lodged a 2" square cleaning patch in the last loop of spring. This "Silenced" the report of the spring and seems to be holding up. I have yet to fire it, but I put about 50 rounds of snap-cap dry firing in a week.
My questions are:
Has anybody else been annoyed by this and done something about it... if so, what?
Is this a problem will all rifles of this type or do I just have 3 rotten guns?
Are there any cheap, lighter recoil spring systems? Perhaps one like the pistol buffer offered by Model 1 Sales? Do they work?
Am I just complaining too much?
