semi auto spring noise issue

Hi all,

 

I have just bought a Winchester SX4 and noticed when I fire it sometimes I can hear the spring in the forend ringing after each shot. I get this is a common thing in semi-auto shotguns, but finding it quite distracting at the moment. 

Do any of you have any ideas to how this ringing noise can be reduced, a heavy grease on the spring perhaps (although that may harbour dirt)?

I am sure I will bet used to it, but wondering if any of you have any ideas.

 

Cheers

DO NOT USE GREASE IN THE STOCK RETURN SPRING. USE HIGH QUALITY LIGHT OIL !

its in capitals for a good reason. and i am shouting as i type.

 

I'd also add resist the urge to slather oil on the piston and mag tube etc. It'll burn/scorch carbon up the mag tube terribly and sand will stick to it
