Got one for my 10/22 in 2014. Sold the gun a while back but kept the buffer. I just put it in my new 10/22 75th anniversary edition. It makes the action quieter and absorbs the impact of the bolt. It’s made of viton, the high quality oil and heat resistent rubber that o-rings are made of. Much better than vaccume tubing. Kidd makes good stuff and this part is very affordable.
Caleb, thanks for easy to follow instructional. Now, I need you to show me how to remove and install a bad rear shock strut bushing on a 2008 Nissan Altima….lol
Not to denigrate the product - it's probably made of some kind of gee-whiz-bang space age material - but visually, it looks like you could use a length of automotive brake line or small engine gas line. That said, I'm sure it's a fine product.😊
It looks like much more of a pain to take in and out vs a solid pin made of whatever, but maybe I'm missing something and they're way quieter than a normal rubber or nylon pin
I have had a stock 10/22 for nearly 30 years and I have never done anything but shoot it and clean it. What does these buffers do for us? I don't shoot my 10/22 as much as the centerfire stuff, but I should it is much cheaper...
Quiets it down. For those of us shooting it with a suppressor, the sound of the bolt smacking into the metal bolt stop is loud. So it calms that down a bit and softens the action cycling.
Also reduces stress on the receiver from the bolt slapping the steel “buffer” - more a bolt stop. That said, I’ve never heard of a 10/22 frame being damaged from using the steel buffer
DANG that’s a slick looking BRN22 build! Will you make a video going over this particular build, or have you already done that? I want to start collecting parts to build my own fully custom 22 rifle for steel challenge competitions and general fun plinking. Great content as always, much love from Texas.
I've been trying to order that TiN bolt for about two weeks now, after my first initially successful attempt was later rejected. I'm a little reassured to see it here on this build. Can you get one onto the shelves and into my cart?
