spring noise

[Growler]

Another option is the Geissele Super 42 braided wire spring. It’s quiet and reliable, and just a bit stiffer than “standard”. Only downside is the (carbine spring) inside diameter is slightly smaller so you have to use their carbine buffer (sold as a set). With the rifle spring and buffer, it’s fully standard with no such limitation.

This spring strips lacquered Wolf out of brand new eLander 17rd mags without issue, so there is that too.
