Bolt buffer for Rem 597 WMR

[Dave9118]

Anyone know where I can get a bolt buffer for a Remington 597 22 WMR same as one below?

Thanks in advance

@Dave9118 I can 3d print you one if you can't find one and can give me dimensions.

That would be great, I have no idea about such things. Would that still be shock absorbing material though?
Thanks

Hi, yes it would be TPU rubber which is pretty tough and shock absorbing.

It's a different design but I've had a 3d printed buffer in my Marlin 995 for years without issues.

If you can give me these sizes, and maybe the hole size that the smaller end fits into then I can make a few for you.

Ideal, that could be the solution then
The old one is pretty torn up. I'll try and dig up some dimensions.

What are we talking roughly cost wise?

Thanks

A fiver to cover postage will be fine.

 

[Dave9118]

That's very kind, thank you. If I can find the dimensions I will come back to you.

I have found them in the States, but I would need to send them to my Brother in order to ship them here at god knows what cost.

I may have to pop the existing one out to measure which will never go back in...

 

[Dave9118]

Let me know if that makes sense

 

[takbok]

@Dave9118 perfect. Send me your address and I'll get them posted tomorrow morning.

Is it very hard rubber or can you squeeze it with your fingers?

 

[Dave9118]

Well, this stuff you can easily squeeze but I think it's been degraded by oil over time and the structure has collapsed.

If you're using a hard compound maybe just go 0.1/0.2mm oversize on the shaft, as it has to press fit into a 7.5mm hole.

I'll DM you my address and get your bank details.

Thanks again, much appreciated
