Listen to Illusion on this, he is bang on.
I have Systema silent piston kits in all my guns because thats all there was when my guns were built (dating myself). I did notice a reduction and change in the sound from a hard slap to a softer thump, but it wasn't the sound signature I was looking to deal with. At that time everyone and his mother was blowing the front ends of mechboxes and when the info came out about the reduction in stress on the gearbox, it became standard issue in all my rebuilds.
Testimony to this - Illusion - you remember the box you made for Nocturnal's DTP bodied M16A4? I still have that gun, box build by you - its been opened once two years ago by Gump for seasonal service and lubing and at that time there was no indication of wear or wear leading to failure, he put it back together and its been working like a champ ever since. One of the best boxes you ever built. That one has a Systema silent piston kit in it.
