BRN 10/22 takedown build
Nice low price replacement part that should aid with accuracy by softening recoil. Fit the BRN 10/22 receiver and bolt with no issues.
Problem Solver
I have used bolt buffers in Ruger 10/22s for decades without a problem.On my latest 10/22, the bolt stop pin would slide out at the least of an angle. This product goes into the receiver snugly and stays in until pushed out. It fixed 2 problems easy peasy.
Excellent Quality. Perfect fit.
Excellent quality part. Flexible. Not stiff. Fits snug. Apply a drop of oil and it pushes right in. Required no modification. It is amazing how much this part reduces shock and noise.
