AR-15/M16 TWANG BUSTER Reviews & Ratings

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.

Does not work as advertised,

I purchased the twang buster and installed it my Palmetto State Armory A2 lower buffer assembley. This product does absolutely nothing to reduce the sound of the buffer working, causes the buffer to bottom out too soon- resulting in excess wear on the face of the buffer being smashed by the bolt carrier, and as a kicker, is incredibly difficult to remove once installed. Do not purchase this item. Waste of time, waste of money, causes excess wear on your firearm.

Save yer money

It's really the spring in the tube of the stock that "twangs" and this does nothing for that - in fact after installing it, the bolt wouldn't lock up manually or after the last shot. Can't return these fast enough.

Waste of money.

Installed and it did nothing. I removed it, re-read the instructions and re-installed. Still nothing. Changed springs to flat wire JP springs. Still no busting of the twang was going on in my full length A2 stock.
