This operation takes its toll on the working mechanism. While not important to a foreign super power that has an arsenal of replacement weapons, it is to you. By installing a SKS Recoil Buffer you totally eliminate the metal to metal impact of the bolt carrier to the receiver, thereby eliminating the shock to the receiver. The Recoil Buffer also prevents any shock from reaching a scope if you have one installed. When you replace the bolt stop pin with a Ruger Bolt Buffer you are ending the metal to metal impact that takes place each time you shoot your rifle.
Installation is a breeze.
You just need a screwdriver, and in a couple of minutes you're ready to head for the range. You can feel the difference the first time you shoot it. Without a receiver, all those custom parts are just so many pieces. They are designed with a solid metal recoil buffer assembly which fits into the buttstock. This factory designed buffer receives the impact of the bolt carrier each time it is fired.
