Making a ruger 10/22 buffer. -how to-
While buying an aftermarket buffer for your ruger 10/22 is not an expensive thing to do, you can easily make your own. I initially did it my self when i was in need of a new one, and didn't have time to order one. I've only been using it shortly, so i dont know how well it will hold up over time, but its quite cheap, so if it needs replaced after a while, no big deal!
What i did was take a short length of aquarium tubing (can be bought at wal-mart, its under a buck for a few feet.) Or oxygen tubing works just as well. Cut a short piece and lay it next to your stock buffer, then cut it to the exact same length. Slide it into your gun, and your done!
Some folks like to slide a piece of wire into the tubing, but i've never found the need to do so.
Hope this helps someone out!

notice any differences in feeding reliability of ammo? Not saying its a bad idea but all the buffers I've ever seen have been solid.... interested in hearing how it holds up. Thanks.

I saw no difference whatsoever, I dont really see how it could effect it.
Just got the few empty cases that tried to re chamber themselves with the new round (bad extractor i guess, and no more then before.)
If anyone else gives it a try let me know how it goes!

not a bad Idea at all. Any 1/4" tubing will work, but I would find a roll-pin to fill the hole in to stiffen it up a little. Some guys get a 1/4" nylon bolt cut it to length and your good to go for a long time and all for under $1

Whats the problem with replying to old threads? Relax!
I did find it threw a google search and since I am a forum member I made a reply for the next person that finds it from doing a search.
forums are there to help people and inform them, if you don't like seeing it at the top, just pass it by and forget about it..
Now back to informal statements about 10/22 buffers!
thanks
