buffer question > Build It Yourself

Posted: 2/15/2011 9:01:02 AM EDT

I am slowly assembling 3 lowers. Put my stocks and buffer assemblies on today.
Question:
On the A2 stock after putting it together it sounded like there was a nut loose in the buffer tube sliding up and down. Pulled it all back apart and its the buffer . It has a rattle inside. its pretty loud.

At the same time I put together a A2 operator stock from RRA and noticed it has a slight rattle also.

Both the stocks and buffer assemblies came from RRA.

Is the Rattle in the buffer normal. Like coins sliding back and forth.
All the CAR's i have shot have never had this

if it didn't rattle it wouldn't be a buffer, it would just be a weight...

Here's what's inside:

The tend to make more noise whent they're new. In a few hundred rounds the won't seem so chattery.
