PETE'S PILLARS RUGER 10/22 VITON & STAINLESS BOLT BUFFERS – 3 PACK
A Quieter, Softer-Cycling 10/22.
Replace the hard factory bolt stop with a Viton sleeve over a stainless steel pin. These Pete's Pillars bolt buffers cushion the bolt at the end of its travel, reducing metal-on-metal impact and action noise. A direct replacement for the factory Ruger B46 bolt buffer, made in the USA, three per pack.
Every shot slams the 10/22's bolt into a hard stop at the rear of the receiver. Over thousands of rounds, that impact adds noise, wear and a harsh, clattering feel. A Viton bolt buffer softens that stop, so the action cycles more smoothly and quietly. It's one of the simplest and most noticeable upgrades for a suppressed 10/22, and a smart addition to any build that sees a lot of rounds.
Viton Toughness, Stainless Strength.
Viton is a high-performance elastomer that resists many common oils, solvents and cleaning chemicals, so the buffer keeps its cushioning properties through regular maintenance. The stainless steel center pin adds strength and corrosion resistance. The buffers ship unassembled for easy installation through the receiver's bolt-buffer openings, and the three-pack gives you spares for future maintenance or a second rifle.
Complete It: Small Upgrades, Big Difference.
While the action is apart, finish the job with our Pete's Pillars 10/22 Bolt Buffer & Trigger Assembly Pin Kit, which pairs a buffer with stainless trigger assembly pins, and lock the barrel in with our Pete's Pillars Stainless V-Block Screws. Both are small, inexpensive upgrades that tighten up the whole rifle.
The Next Level: A Volquartsen-Grade 10/22.
Ready to transform the rifle? The Volquartsen 10/22 Competition Bolt Assembly replaces the factory bolt with a CNC-machined, case-hardened assembly, round titanium firing pin and tuned extractor, and the Volquartsen TG2000 Trigger Group delivers a crisp 2.25 lb pull. Add a Volquartsen Lightweight Carbon Fiber Barrel for bull-barrel accuracy at half the weight, and browse everything in our Ruger 10/22 Parts & Upgrades Collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Fit, installation and what a Viton bolt buffer does for your 10/22.
What does a Viton bolt buffer do?
It cushions the bolt at the rear of its travel, reducing metal-on-metal impact, wear and action noise for smoother, quieter cycling.
Will it fit my 10/22?
It is designed for the Ruger 10/22 and many receivers that use the standard Ruger-style bolt buffer location, including many KIDD and Volquartsen configurations. Manufacturing tolerances vary, so the installed buffer may not sit perfectly flush in every receiver.
Does it replace the factory B46 buffer?
Yes. It is a direct replacement for the factory-style Ruger B46 bolt buffer.
Is it good for suppressed rifles?
Yes. Reducing bolt impact noise makes a noticeable difference on a suppressed 10/22, where action noise is more apparent.
Why three buffers?
The three-pack gives you spares for future maintenance or enough to outfit multiple rifles.
How do I install it?
Unload the rifle, remove the barreled action from the stock, push out the old buffer, assemble the Viton sleeve on the stainless pin and install it through the receiver's bolt-buffer openings. Function-check the rifle before use.
Can I use it in a 10/22 Magnum?
No. These buffers are not intended for magnum-caliber applications.
Small Change. Big Impact. Pete's Pillars.
