    Commenting on the twang is the first thing people do after shooting a real AR. They didn't add the twang into counterstrike so people don't expect it,.
    Damn, I'm emailing Gaben right now!

    It's not a bad package. Comes with a suppressor and a decent handguard. Between 1500 and 1700 would be fair.

    It's just an annoying sound when it's right inside your ear every time you squeeze the trigger. More distracting for me personally.

    Bit of grease though and then it's an non issue.

    As far as that AR goes, with scope suppressor etc 1500-1700 is probably a pretty fair price. Wouldn't get too hung up on rounds down the tube as even if it was 10x what he stated 1500 is SFA through an AR.

    1500-1700 sounds right.

    If the twang bothers people then the JP silent capture Spring is ideal-I bought one for the ability to tune the spring but the lack of twang is a nice bonus

    @Cartman do you know what barrel is on it?

    Thought these things were standard 16 inch?

    Never shot an ace stock derivative AR that didn't twang.
    Yes lithium grease makes a noticeable difference, but so does a different butt stock. The foam tube that covers the buffer tube almost seems to amplify the noise, rather than muffle it.

    @Cartman it's really just a question of if you have finished having fun with the 300 then swap and have some fun with the ar. Good luck breaking it or shooting the barrel out.

    Never noticed the TWANG in my WW until I suppressed it.
    Now it annoys me.
    Lithium grease you say?

    Nah I like my 300 and I've got a brand new blr stainless on the way. This toy can wait. Only reason I considered as I just got a pest control contract and thought it would be a good fit. I think a 10/22 and eventually an ar 10 will work well.

    It is the Chinese shit referred to at the start of this thread. Although I have heard some people have nothing but good things to say about them. Probably people that payed thousands for them years ago when Gun Shitty was the only outfit bringing in ARs
