What is the DOUBLE STAR - Twang Buster?

Low-friction Delrin disk fits on the end of the buffer spring, opposite the buffer, and stops the annoying "twang" of the buffer hitting the rear of the receiver extension during recoil. Quick, easy installation, with no permanent alterations to gun. Simply remove buffer and spring, insert Twang Buster, then reinstall buffer and spring.

SPECS: Machined Delrin thermoplastic, black. Fits A2 rifle and M4-style carbine buffer spring/receiver extension tubes.

Works
Works as it claims. If Your having bolt locking problems in all likelihood your spring is A: too long or B: too stiff or C: A&B. Had a friend with locking issues & his spring was using wire that was 0.005" thicker than mine. We swapped springs & swapped which rifle had the problem.

It deserves a higher rating. It works.
This product does everthing it says and nothing it does not. I install these in every AR I own and it does take the "twang" that all AR's make when fired. Anything to help make the weapon quieter is a good thing. If the "twang doesn't bother you, don't buy it. If you want that sound eliminated completely then I highly recommend it because it does do what it says.

works well in my 9mm dpms style ar
I bought one for my 9mm ar, and it worked perfectly, so I bought several more, and havn't had a single problem. Some of those over-power springs have a few extra coils, so the spring is longer when fully compressed. That may be the problem that others are having. If 1/16 inch piece of plastic is going to prevent your bolt from going all the way back, get a better spring. Those flat wire springs work great! Brownells # 452-000-119WB or 840-000-048WB

Ok part
It does what it's supposed to do in regards to quieting down the spring noise. But it does have the annoying habit of not letting the bolt lock all the way back after the last round is fired. Not sure if this is due to the combo of running the recoil pad too. When I installed this I was only using .223 55gr, when I stepped up to 5.56 62gr, the issue was not there as often. I'll use it some more, but we'll see what happens in the next 300+rds.
