10/22 buffers?

Post by kokopelli » Sat Dec 01, 2012 8:20 am

does anyone know if an area store has the 10/22 receiver buffers in stock? I don't want to pay $8 shipping for a $5 item...

Bolt buffer? I have one in my closet. I replaced it with a 1/4" nylon drywall anchor that you can get at a hardware store for change and whack down to the correct length. It is a supposed improvement of some kind. The nylon drywall anchors have a metal stem through the middle.

Just an option...

yeah- the bolt buffer is what I'm looking for. I know a .22 doesn't need a buffer, but it is supposed to silence the metal 'ping' of the bolt, which is what I'm looking to do...

Found it, 1/4 inch-", length is measure with a stick with a bunch of little marks on it.
Former police and car salesman call them "rulers" :llama: :llama:

Toolmaker and smart asses call those stick "scales"
They make them that are flexible, rolled up in a little can, these are called "tar measure".

That nylon buffer is supposedly some kind of worthy modification to a 10/22 and it's very easy. You can get one at Lowe's today for under a dollar and cut it down to size.

Lot's of guys on rimfirecentral.com do this inexpensive upgrade and lots of aftermarket 10/22 parts suppliers sell a similar product.

Good Luck.
