Polyurethane Buffers on 10/22s. Hype or necessary accessory?

The place for beginners, or anyone else, to talk about gun, gear, and shooting topics with a minimum of jargon and/or geekery. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask that blows up in your face later.

The best thing you can do with a 10\22 is to shitcan that pathetic scope rail. Which I think you have already got squared away ;)

Tech Sights. If you're not using a scope or other optical

I have a poly buffer in one 10/22. The only noticeable difference to me is when shooting low or standard velocity ammo; the factory pin produced a louder, more metallic action noise. With high velocity ammo the sound of the blast covered up any difference in action sound.

Given the number of 10/22s with tens or hundreds of thousands of ammo through them that have no issue with that steel pin or the mount point in the receiver, I wouldn't buy another poly, but thats just me.
