Gun and gear reviews Tm 22 pro recoil buffer toonie mod/washer

Does the TM 22 Pro still need to be modded out of the box for this issue?

Yep, toonie "trick" still seems to be a good idea. The new buffer "helps" but that tiny rubber pad just gets beat into the dirt. Mine arrived jammed into the buffer tube already so the washer was necessary.

Grabbed a 1 inch washer from work and it fits perfectly flush. Some people reccomend grabbing a new plumbing washer to replace the cheap rubber pad that comes with it. If you went that route, it would only be a buck or 2 at your local hardware store 👍

The 3d printed one linked is cool, but ive heard of it getting beat up and destroyed relatively quickly too. No personal experience with it though.

Not what I was saying.

I had mentioned that replacing the cheap little rubber pad with a more durable one was a good idea.

The washer goes BEHIND the rubber pad between it and the buffer tube to prevent the buffer tube from cutting into the rubber further.

Yes using a even thicker and harder rubber piece to circumvent the need for a washer would be even more ideal, but not necessarily everyone can get access to the specific hardness of rubber needed to prevent being cut into, and also still soft enough to dampen the bolt.

Edit* just incase you didn't know, a plumbing washer is just hardened rubber 👍

What harness rubber would this require? I could probably source it out and get a bunch clicked out if there's a market.
