UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!
********SOLVED****!!!!!!!!
Ok folks, just want to say thank you for all of the help you guys put forth. It really helped me out. What the problem was is that a roll pin the recoil spring assembly had worked its way out of the assembly. About an 8th of an inch was protruding out one side. This pin was catching on the recoil spring as the spring was being compressed. I took a small allen wrench and a hammer and hammered the pin back into it's correct position. I've got to say that although it was an easy solution, I have had to put up with this noise for about a year now. I hope the pin will not work itself loose any more. If anyone has questions as to what I am talking about, I can supply scans or a more detailed description.
Once again thanks for all of the help!
I have an HK USP .40 S&W. It has an AD datecode and I have fired 3,000 plus rounds through it. I would say around 2005 I began to notice a strange noise when I racked the slide to the rear. It sounded "crunchy", but as you know it is hard to describe a noise, it's easier to hear it. Below is a link to the sound file:

(You have to click "Skip this ad" in the far upper right. I do not know of any other sound hosting site, if anyone could host this for me on a better site, feel free to do so and I will edit my post).
So, my question to you guys: Is this normal? If it is, or isn't, what's making the noise? The weapon functions fine, it just hurts to have a $700 pistol make such a crappy noise when I racked the slide back. Anyone have any ideas?
