Very difficult install

This thing is very, very difficult to install. I had read about the "fitting" required by some but didn't think it would consume more than an hour of fiddling. I have not tried putting it in the freezer yet, but that should not be necessary. A little rounding of the edges and perhaps a little grease, but even that didn't help. I hope this not what I can expect from Volquartsen products in the future.

Great product...if it fit!

I was very excited to install this rear buffer pin into my 10/22 Takedown project rifle but the rubber pin was too large. I tried 2 different types of gun lube, and 1.5 hours of my gun smithing skills to try and insert this pin, but it would literally not fit despite my best efforts. Maybe it fits better in older model 10/22's? I am going to try a different one, as this will drastically decrease the clanking sound on the 10/22-specifically a suppressed one.
