If you are looking for the polymer ones I got mine here and fast shipping too from Ontario. There are a few different brands on Ebay.

The bolt will make contact with the factory steel cross pin with some hotter .22 rounds,makes a metal to metal "clack" noise,the polymer replacement stops that by softening the blow back contact force.
Functionally,the cross pin keeps the bolt from sliding off the end the receiver rails causing it to bind or lock up.
Three Tuffer Buffers will last a life time,I've had the same one in my 10/22 for 10 years with no visible sign of wear,it see's a lot of use in the Gopher patch every year.

Yep, I bought the three pack and still on the first one as well, many thousands of rounds later. They work fine, and your gun will be a bit quieter as well.

Apparently easy to make your own, on my to do list. Just replace the steel pin with a 1/4 " nylon bolt, cut to length, making sure it has enough unthreaded portion. Canadian tire sells nylon bolts.

Yup .... red neck ingenuity .... all great ... until it rains, or you bump or crush it, or until your buddies notice you are using duct tape an a toilet paper tube as a sunshade.

I got mine from Dlask Arms as well, although I got the Kidd version because I ordered Kidd's auto bolt release and was very pleased with it. The Kidd bolt buffer is more expensive than Dlask's at $12.99, but they do make quality aftermarket .22LR products.

Well looks like I will have to try one of the sources you fellas pointed out, and just buy a buffer.

Better check exchange and shipping costs. 9.00 thimble sized fuel filter turned into almost 40. Can. before I was done. Unavailable part elsewhere, so I had no choice.

Question

Well to follow up on this buffer thing, talked to my oler brother, he had not heard of this issue, so now he is going to get them for his three Rugers and replace the steel pin, he is wondering why Ruger has not made it a change in production or even maybe a notice of it.

I think ruger doesn't do it because steel pins are cheap and don't risk the chance of breaking like polymer. I've broken polymer buffers from high volume shooting and bent a volquartsen buffer. So far the kidd buffer has helpd up best. Just my experience.
