AR-15 Spring "TWANG!!!"

What about STP,slick50,Duralube,Marvel Mystery Oil,or maybe
some sort of silicone grease? Thisaway

Well, I think the idea of the grease is that it has some sort of BULK to it in addition to lubricating. This bulk acts to absorb the vibrations that make this sproing so annoying. The patch that I lodged in the spring works very well and is lightweight. The little gobs of grease also work well for the same reasons. Others are saying lithium grease. The choice of grease should take into account how hot or cold it is where you are. Some greases liquify when they get hot.

I learned real quickly...

To use the grease sparingly in the AR-15 spring/recoil buffer system. Talk about a grease pump moving stuff into the upper and lower receivers!
