RUGER® 10/22® SHOCK BUFFER

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.
