I've got one extra prototype of a bore guide and several buffers that I'd like to give away in exchange for testing and feedback on fit/function/longevity/improvements needed.
PM me if interested in trying one or both out. I'm planning to make a small beta prototype run of guides from Delrin very soon. |

That bore guide looks like a great idea. I'd be happy to test and evaluate.

I’d be interested in a buffer. Have a 22lr sbr suppressed. And a normal 16” gun.

I'd also be glad to help evaluate these parts if you still need a volunteer. I've been plenty pleased with the final production part I bought and prototype pressure plugs I helped test that you produced a while back.
PM inbound. |

I responded to all PMs today, I was not at my computer yesterday after I posted -- a hit and run so to speak. The bore guide went to Zukiphile, I'll let you all know when I have some Delrin guides made that are ready for testers.

I've got a couple 22 AR's. Id be down for some testing if you still need beta testers. Would the buffer quiet the bolt slap on a suppressed 22?

I just added a poll for the bore guide color -- please vote with your preference. I'm going to choose a color and get a few beta prototypes underway.

Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. Some family stuff came up I had to deal with. Replied back to your msg just now. I'm also curious to see what difference your buffer makes on my super shorty suppressed setup with the binary trigger.

I would love to try the buffer, but think I might be a bit late to this party... busy at SHOT this past week.
FYi 1: I purchased two of the butt plugs and run them with great satisfaction. FYi 2: I have a bore guide from another source and BLACK is way easier to keep clean, hence my vote :-) |

The little white buffer looks just about how the one on my Air Force GI conversion is.
Not to sound dumb, but what does the Bore Guide do? |

Received the buffers today. Thanks!
Hoping to hit the range over the weekend. Will report back ASAP. Never had issues with the CMMG or Ciener .22’s. What is the specific motivation for the buffer? I’ll also let you know if it runs any quieter with a suppressor. |

Sako308 -- PM me, I made more and I still have a pile of them on my desk. I'd be happy to send a few out.
Wreckdriver -- mostly to stop the bolt from battering itself to death. The quieting of the suppressed rifles is a nice side effect. Swampfox -- I hear a slight difference in the video. Thanks for making that, it's very informative. I'm heading to the range this weekend, and I'll test them out on this end (finally!). |

Maybe I'll test the buffers at the 900yd line! |

Yeah, the prototype will have a shorter life than a production buffer made from a more carefully selected polymer. I'm going to run a brick or two of HV through mine with the buffer installed to see what happens to it.

Got my proto buffers in. Unfortunately as you can see in the photo I jacked my finger up at work requiring stitches today. It will be a while before I can give it a go. Sorry, wasn't expecting my trigger finger to be out of action. :(
The back of my old Ciener bolt doesn't have that notch for the locating tab at the back so I'll have to slightly modify one of these proto parts. As soon as I'm able I'll give my feedback. Based on how well the pressure plug turned out I'm sure these will be full of win as will be the final parts in delrin. You may be moving forward before I get a chance to check this out. Again sorry about that but many thanks in advance.

I ran 100 rounds of HV on one of the first ABS versions (read: hard and not very tough). even without a suppressor, I no longer heard the metal on metal "clack" of the bolt cycling, which was nice.
It was still serviceable, and would probably have lasted another couple hundred rounds, but I replaced it with one of the black (Carbon Fiber/PET) buffers for my next trip. I have revised the design today a bit to improve fitment and lifespan, and I'll post photos when I get those printed out. We're moving closer to getting these finalized and manufactured. |

I was excited to finally try my buffers out last night at the range. Neither my Ceiner nor my CMMG have the cut out. I'll have to grind off the locator tab before I can give it a go. I've had both kits for longer than I thought if they don't have the cut out. Anyone know what the cut out is for?

That’s strange both of my CMMG kits have them and they are both new within the past 5yrs or so.
Wish I could get out and enjoy mine. I have been so busy at work the past 3 weeks and the amount of rain we have received in the South has made it a no go for me as of late. |

The older cmmg bcg did not have the cutout. My first cmmg 22lr upper I bought a while back came with a working forward assist. My second one that I bought used just had the plug but I decided for.no particular reason that I wanted forward assist to be functional as well. I purchased the insert for the bcg and the forward assist kit to install myself. When I went to fit the forward assist insert, it didnt go all the way to the rear and I noticed on the working one that it had the cutout but this used one didnt. I contacted CMMG to ask about this and explain what I was doing. They ended up mailing me a new receiver frame at no charge. Great customer service. I swapped out the receiver frame, put in the forward assist insert, and installed the forward assist kit. As far as why the cutout is there, I dont know.exactly why but I do know that if you want working forward assist, it needs to be there for the insert to fit.

My finger is healed up enough now that I can go test these rear bolt buffers finally. I also just got in my 9mm RDB parts and assembling that today so I'll definitely be hitting the range soon to test that and I can also see how these .22 buffers work out for me. I clipped the tab off of one of them to use with my older ciener bolt. We shall see how that works out.

Been busy and my past couple of range trips were mostly about spending time with my new 9mm CMMG RDB play toy but I had the .22 AR out today so I could play around with the proto buffer some more. Had a buddy with me this time and took a quick video on his phone. Sorry for the poor quality and other shooters to the left and right of us. The 3d printed proto buffer does help knock down some of the action noise. No binary trigger today. Range we were at doesn't allow them or anything full auto. I pushed my luck a bit and fired a few at the end there rapidly.
@Renaissancemann When the final delrin version is available I definitely want to pick up a few.  Dead Air Mask on 22AR Pistol |

I should be taking them to the range for testing next weekend, and then releasing them into "the wild" for you guys to enjoy assuming they hold up that next week. They should be very tough and have a long lifespan. The anti-bounce weight rattles around inside the 22lr BCG, I'd imagine it adds some noise. I need to make a better solution to that as well. |

Good to hear delrin versions are on the way. Been meaning to post this, the 3d printed proto didn't fare well against being suppressed with a binary trigger. Until it failed it was effective in knocking down the action noise a bit.  |
