You shouldn’t need to use a buffer spring or buffer. But it you want to use a spring you can get a plastic insert from “Bore Buddy” to force the kit more forward.

Thanks so much, that is what I was thinking of.
I need to look at the bolt again, I think you are right that a buffer and spring aren't needed due to design of the 22 bolt as if I recall it can't move back into the buffer tube. |

I do not think Taccom is in this game anymore are they?

I removed the buffer on my setup and just use the BoreBuddy pressure plug. Since a spring is not required in these setups, I wonder if a piece of 3/4" PVC pipe by itself would work? Perhaps a short piece of a carbine recoil spring to keep pressure against the CMMG bolt?

Of course if you use the Bore Buddy or any other pressure plug. You will still need a spring behind the plug. That could be a simple spring from the hardware store that fits inside the tube. Of course you do not actually need the buffer anymore. Just a spring.
Looks like Taccom does still carry the pressure plug, but no other stuff for the AR22 anymore. |

I've used as little as a dowel with a screw in the end for fine regulation of length. Quoted: Perhaps a short piece of a carbine recoil spring to keep pressure against the CMMG bolt? I never even considered that, but it sounds like a good idea. If your goal is to prevent the BCG frame from hitting the top of your lower, an incompressible rod of some kind is better than a spring |

I used a piece of thinwall tubing from an old umbrella that fits nicely in the buffer tube cut to keep the RTB plug where it needs to be to keep the bolt assembly from moving. Light weight, cheap, and works perfectly. A wood dowel would work as well.

A 5/8" rod/dowel fits perfectly in the most recent (skeletonized) BoreBuddy pressure plug -- remove the buffer/spring, cut it to length and insert.

I use a standard spring and a rubber buffer spacer and no buffer catch. Just put the spacer against the bolt assembly. Have to fiddle with it to get it to close - but not much.
