RUGER® 10/22® SHOCK BUFFER Reviews & Ratings

Shock-absorbing polyurethane buffer replaces the bolt stop pin to eliminate metal-to-metal contact and extend receiver life. Cushions the bolt’s rearward motion to help prevent receiver cracking, reduce felt recoil, and enable quieter cycling.


SPECS: Polyurethane. Fits 10/22® in .22 LR only. This buffer may be manufactured in various colors but when properly installed it will not be visible.

Not as good as it could be
It does the job, but just barley. Product came bent like a banana. Yeah that is common for these parts, but it is only common with the lower end versions, like this one. The good brand is perfectly straight. Oh, and the marketing pics show a yellow part, but the part that came is black like a PVC pipe or fuel hose. I would not have bought it if I knew it was made out of cheap material. Product is very dense, almost to the point of feeling, and acting like the stock steel version that this is intended to replace. When I first grabbed it out of the package, it felt brittle and cheap. After using all three of my hands to install it, I took it to the range, and found that it is just a slight improvement over the stock version. This product is not very good, comparing it with other brands, but it is just better than stock, and it does provide a very slight amount of recoil reduction over the stock buffer. Not worth my time, money, or extra money buying a good one after using this.

Works, but not top of the line product.
Orderd this for my brn22 magpul hunterx22 build. I was disappointed. Product came out of the package looking like a crecent moon. Also looked as if it were carelessly cut from a Roll of stock with dull scissors. Cuts were jagged and uneven. Buffer pin did not spam the entire width of the receiver. When centered, there is approximately a 1/16 gap On both sides of the receiver, showcasing the Shoddy cuts on this pin. Recommendation: Spend a few extra bucks on tandem cross, or volquartsen.

Waste of money
Quality was poor, ends not cut straight and cylinder was slighty disformed. Item fits snugly but will not go all the way through. Even added a drop of breakfree and did not help. Using the slightest hand pressure exerted to make it flush, the end will mushroom. Buy at your own risk...

TacSol should be embarrassed
Like the other reviewer said, a filmsy plastic tubing, poorly cut. I think the packaging costs more than the product itself. Anyone could go to a hardware store and buy a roll of cheap plastic tubing and cut it to size, which is what it looks like they did. I would send it back, but shipping will cost more than the part itself. DO NOT BUY!
