Magpul PRS "sproing noise"

[Ultraman550]

I've read that some people put a little bit of grease on the spring to help with the noise. Is this recommended or no? The noise in mine is actually ridiculous to the point where its become annoying to shoot my AR. I didn't have this problem with a collapsible stock at all. Fo those of you who have this same issue is it something you just learn to deal with, is there a better spring out there, do you put something inside the stock to keep the spring from bouncing around yet still allows it to cycle?

I have DPMS internals in my stock.

I run the same spring in mine ( dpms RIFLE length) do you have the rifle buffer as well? I dont have any noise coming from my set-up

Re: Magpul PRS "sproing noise"

Its not the magpul issue its an A2 stock issue.... I have had it with normal A2 stocks, the JP laminated thumbhole stock, and Magpul stocks. Best guess is just get used to it. I have heard of grease on the spring but seems like a hillbilly fix...

I have also heard of using a carbine buffer/spring and getting the delrin spacer to go inside the extension to make it compatible. The Delrin spacer was originally designed to help run a 9mm upper on a A2 lower.

Yeah, everything is rifle length. You're a lucky man then dammit.

I'll look into that spacer. I have this thing but did not install it. I'm guessing its not what you're talking about though.

Tubbs Flat Spring doesn't have the sound with it like a standard buffer spring does.

JP makes a ground spring to that helps with the noise

If this noise doesn't affect function or accuracy, do you really care?

Tubbs flatwire spring.

Re: Magpul PRS "sproing noise"

I run the Tubb spring as well in my AR, but finishing up a new AR10 Build also using a PRS and Im tempted to take the plunge into the stupidly costly JP captured spring system... just looks cool

I can shoot through sweat running into my eyes, but why do that when I can wear a hat?

Yes, I care.

put a little bit of white lithium grease on the spring.

If you shoot a safe queen, then sure.

If you actually use your weapon, don't do this. It has NO functional advantage and it will attract dirt/grit etc.

Re: Magpul PRS "sproing noise"

I've run Tubb flat wire springs in ACE skeleton, Magpul PRS & standard A2 stocks and they flat out remove the "sproing". Great upgrade, IMHO...

I have one Voltor that is worse than others but at the end of the day it makes no difference to me.

Funny mine made noise for the 1st couple 100 rounds & it went away. Like the looks of the Tubbs though, made have to upgrade

The "sproing" noise on my PRS went away as well. I'm not going to mess with it at this point.
