I have read through a lot of other threads on this and most of the them said that this is usually the first fix they do on their 10/22? I was just curious if any of you have done this? I read that a 1/4 nylon bolt, 1/4 Derlin Rod or 1/4 Polyurethane 90A work just as good as what they sell on Midway? So I went to my local plastic shop (Fort Collins Plastics) and got the 1/4 Derlin Rod, two feet for $0.63/ft. The buffers online are 9.99 + $9.00 for shipping lol. All the reviews on the others said they work just as good, again just curious if anyone here has swapped out the metal for the plastic ones?
