JP Silent Captured Spring

[Cardinal]

I am curious if anyone could share their experience with the JP Silent Captured Spring system.

I have a Colt LE 6920 purpose is for range use/plinking. I find the spring noise/twang very annoying and my goal would be to eliminate that as much as possible.
I understand that milspec weapons use the milspec spring and buffers, but my use for the firearm is to simply enjoy a smooth, non-twangy time at the bench.

Will the JP SCS get rid of the twang?

Thanks

No twang. And you wont need the buffer retainer pin and spring.

Thanks. Kind of spendy, but it seems like it might do the trick.

It works as advertised...

Wow, expensive! I can empathize though. Every time I shoot my AR it screams "Mattel" at me. Not the sort of sound a respectable rifle would make.

Never heard of this, but quick search turned up the Armaspec Stealth Recoil Spring which seems to do the same thing at half the price of JP. Anyone run the Armaspec?

Strike Industries flat wire spring all but gets rid of the twang for around $20. I run them in all my AR's.

I have one of the silent capture springs as it was the only way I could get my Maxim Defense PDW brace to cycle reliably. To me, it's not worth the money for the sound change alone, but I'm an uncouth heathen and don't have an issue with my standard ARs. The Maxim brace is shorter than a standard tube, so there are limited options in the buffer and spring world for it. With that all said, it does have a quality feeling to it and has a myriad of adjustment options beyond your standard buffers and springs. It certainly feels like an upgrade, and if it solves an annoyance for you and you can afford it, why not make your shooting time more enjoyable?

But now I'm curious about ordering one of those Strike Industries springs to see if I can tell the difference.

I have a Gen 1 on an AR15 build and a Gen 2 on an AR10 build. Both work as advertised but are expensive for what they are.

The Geissele Super 42 braided wire buffer spring is also advertised as eliminating the twang sound. But, I don't have personal experience with it.

If quieting the spring noise is your only goal posters have listed a few much cheaper options. JP products are top tier competition driven items that will always run a very high premium of pricing. They have an impeccable track record of reliability and squeeze the very most of out function with their designs. That being said I have used their equipment for over 15yrs and have several of their rifles and parts. If you don't need the best of the best look at the other listed alternatives for good solid service and function. You can save quite a bit of $$$ and still be happy.

I have the jp in my sbr and the armaspec in my 308 ar10. They both do the same thing.

armaspec sbs

I own a JP Piston (H3) Law Tactical version on my .300 Blackout. It cycles perfectly and is very quiet.

I have one on a 10.5" .300 blk sbr and love it. Gets rid of that spoon on a cheese grater sound. Really enjoy it while shooting subsonic suppressed.
