Greetings All,
I've finally gotten around to working on a Remington 11 Auto 12 gauge (Browning A-5 clone to the uninitiated), that's been in the family for several generations. One of the main differences between the A11 and the A-5 is the A11 has a buffer pad riveted inside the back of the receiver that's about 1/8" thick. Over time these become hard & brittle and fall apart.
I'd like to replace it, but I want to use something more effective than the original hard rubber or fiber pad. I have an SKS that I purchased a buffer pad for made from a modern polymer and the same thing on my 1911 spring rod. Both make a big difference with heavy loads.
I was wondering if anyone makes this kind of thing in a sheet that can be cut to the desired shape and maybe comes in different thicknesses.
Thanks
R. Lee
