Viton & Stainless Bolt Buffer Recoil Pin for Ruger 10/22, KIDD, Volquartsen B46

Ruger 10/22 Viton & Stainless Steel Bolt Buffer

Replace the factory-style bolt buffer in your Ruger 10/22 with a Pete's Pillars Viton and stainless steel bolt buffer.

Designed for the Ruger 10/22 platform, the buffer combines a resilient Viton outer sleeve with a stainless steel center pin to help cushion rearward bolt impact and reduce the sharp mechanical action noise produced during cycling.

This listing includes one complete bolt buffer—ideal for upgrading or servicing a single rifle.

A Simple Ruger 10/22 Action Upgrade

The bolt buffer sits at the rear of the receiver and stops the bolt at the end of its rearward travel. Replacing the rigid factory-style buffer with a resilient Viton design provides a softer contact point inside the action.

• Helps cushion rearward bolt impact
• Reduces mechanical action noise
• Genuine Viton sleeve
• Stainless steel center pin
• Resistant to many common oils, cleaners and solvents
• Made in the USA from USA-sourced components

Especially Useful for Suppressed Ruger 10/22 Rifles

When a suppressor reduces muzzle report, the mechanical sounds of the rifle action can become much more noticeable.

A resilient bolt buffer helps reduce the sharp impact at the rear of the receiver, making it a particularly useful small upgrade for suppressed Ruger 10/22 builds.

Ruger 10/22 Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for the standard Ruger 10/22 bolt buffer and Ruger B46-style buffer location.

It is also compatible with many aftermarket 10/22-pattern receivers that retain the standard Ruger-style bolt buffer arrangement, including many KIDD and Volquartsen configurations.

Receiver dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers, so installed fit may differ from one receiver to another.

Installation

Each buffer consists of a Viton sleeve and separate stainless steel center pin. The two-piece design makes installation through the receiver easier.

1. Verify that the firearm is completely unloaded.
2. Remove the barreled action from the stock according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Remove the existing bolt buffer.
4. Start the stainless steel center pin approximately halfway into the Viton sleeve.
5. Position the Viton sleeve through the receiver's bolt-buffer openings.
6. Push the stainless steel pin completely through the installed sleeve.
7. Reassemble the firearm and verify proper operation before use.

The stainless steel center pin is intentionally a close fit inside the Viton sleeve after installation.

Fit & Manufacturing Tolerances

Ruger and aftermarket receivers can vary slightly in dimensions, and Viton material also has normal manufacturing tolerances. As a result, an installed buffer may fit slightly tighter or looser from one receiver to another.

Small differences in appearance or installed fit do not affect the intended function of the buffer.

Not intended for magnum-caliber applications.
