Easy Peasy

Slid right in my BRN-22 receiver with only the slightest bit of lube, and none of the problems mentioned by a few other reviewers - no need to chamfer the leading edge, grind a flat, or use a vise. Just finger pressure, and a few taps with a plastic mallet at the end to coax the pin flush. Should have bought the 3-pack.

Top Shelf Buffer

My friends and I all use Tuffer Buffers in our 10/22's. They have NEVER left us down. Top quality and easy to install.

This thing works great!

Took a change ordering this as I had read some good reviews on line about the Tuffer Buffer. It actually does make a difference and wasn't that hard to install at all. No regrets here.

Great buffer!!

Easy to install, works great! Pleasantly surprised that its a quality item.

Happy With Purchase

The buffers are incredible! Easy to install and make a noticeable difference in quieting the action. Nice color too! Glad I made the choice to purchase these. VERY happy.

Wow well worth the money

I purchased a tuffe buffer for my Ruger back 16-17yrs ago and a when I torn the gun down back about 6 months ago I was kinda shocked to find the buffer in pretty much brand new shape, no degradation of the buffer, no cuts or splitting, writing was still readable. The buffer is well made and 1 will probably last forever. This made the action on my gun super quite and it also reduced the recoil. Fairly easy to install if you know how to field strip the gun. Ive shot about 2000rnds on my buffer and it's like new.

Repeat Buyer

Second purchase of these buffers and NOTHING but good things to say about them. They are quality buffers and stand the test of time. I'd recommend them to any 10/22 owner. Really like the new color! Keep up the good work Tuffer Buffer!
