The creakiness is generally caused by plastic parts rubbing against each other. So it kinda depends on where the sound is coming from Brony. The Retaliator stock is pretty beefy. The shells are screwed together pretty well, so it's probably not the stock itself.

The stock attachment point is where all the forces are. It's likely the joint is getting loose with age and you're getting a little movement between the nub of the attachment point on the blaster, and the connector on the stock.

There are two ways I'm aware of to fix that. First try a little WD-40 or some thin silicone around the attachment point. If those two parts are rubbing, it'll quiet that down. If that doesn't work, wipe off the silicone and add some small amounts of duct tape or electrical tape to the nub of the attachment point to increase its circumference. Don't go crazy, try a little at a time until it fits snugly.
