AR 15 buffer noise

[kc30121]

Ok I know I’m probably splitting hairs but you can hear the weights/buffers in my buffer when you tilt the gun back and forth. This isn’t a big deal but I’m setting this gun up with a 350 legend as a hunting gun and don’t want the extra sound.
Any advice on how to get rid of the noise? Should I get a different buffer? If so what kind? I have other AR’s that don’t make noise so I guess I could just swap the buffer from one of them. Lol

Probably won't hear it when you shoot. Just a thought.

That’s not what I’m worried about. Just don’t want the noise in a “hunting rifle”. When I tilt the gun you hear the weights and I don’t want it spooking the deer.

It probably won't be an issue unless you're hunting from the ground (stalking) there are a number of manufacturers making "silent" buffer assemblies; JP enterprises, Armaspec, Trinity Force.

Are you normally tilting your rifle back and forth when you hunt?

Well when it’s hanging on a hook in your stand it’s straight up/down then when you tilt it downward to shoot you hear the weights in it. It’s really noticeable and I guess I never paid attention to it till I started building a hunting AR.

JP Enterprises silent captured spring. Not only will get rid of that but also gets rid of the thwang sound when your bolt is cycling.

open the buffer, add cotton balls.

Oh I didn’t know you could open that up.

yessir and from what you're describing it sounds like your buffer is missing some weights and probably why it's shifting back & forth. if your gun runs good w/o the missing weight, just fill it tight w/cotton balls.
