OK, I have a few questions here it goes:
1. Is it possible to make your own bolt buffer, or should I just order one?

I see several places mentioned where people order their accesories. rimfiresports, hawktech etc.

2. Which ones are the best to deal with and have less trouble shipping to canada?

I seen a muzzle brake avail for the 10/22. Not that its needed on a .22, or not that I want one, but just curious. Most comments on muzzle brakes on centerfire rifle's is that the brakes direct way more noise to the shooter and people surrounding them , so...

3. Do muzzle brakes make much difference in the report of a .22

Thanks.
 
I'm sure you could make a bolt buffer if you got some rod the exact diameter. However, plenty of places will sell you one for a few bucks. Not really worth the hassle of making one in my opinion.

I've ordered several items from hawktech. I do recommend them.
 
Both rimfiresports and hawktech are great to deal with and ship to Canada for free. Pick either one....you won't be disappointed.

I have no idea about a muzzle break for a 10/22. It's all for looks IMO.

Muzzle brakes deflects expanding gas to counter the recoil and muzzle jump of a rifle...they are not meant to suppress the report. If you were thinking it will increase the report, as muzzle brakes usually do...I didn't notice a significant increase in my friend's 10/22...but .22's are fairly quiet to begin with. HTH.

I think the ones for the bull barrels look kind of cool...the ones for the standard barrels don't really appeal to me.
 
I've made more than a few bolt buffers. Used 1/4 nylon drift material. cut to length. If you would rather buy one, IIRC BCboy sells them on the site.

I also installed a muzzle brake/ flash hider on my stainless rifle. Does nothing for flash or recoil. it's a .22 for peats sake!! But it helps the balance a little and looks cool!!!
 
As to the muzzle breaks I knew they wouldnt suppress the sound and any help with recoil wouldnt even be felt or even needed. I was just curious if they made the report noticably louder as they do on a larger caliber rifle.

Steeleco, 1/4 inch drift material? familiarize me with this. As I am pretty handy and would like to mod it myself if possible, but I'm not above buying it.
 
Nylon 101, of all the unmodified nylons, is the strongest, most rigid nylon,

Bolt buffers for the 10/22 are pretty flexible, I don't know how long that nylon rod would last if it's rigid........then again it is pretty cheap, you could change it out every 1000 rounds if you want.
 
No other weapon system since the Sherman tank has seen as many mods as the 10-22.Just stuff a big 30 round mag in the stock $230.00 gun and blow the crap out of some tree rats.They will not notice the lack of a $300.00 heavy barrel,Fajan stock,muzzel brake...

Mine so far as seen 1000's of rounds and shows no ill effect each year after it's annual strip and clean.
 
I made my own from a hot glue stick...yes a glue stick. 6.8mm (0.27") cost for using 2" of stick about 8 cents. Any craft store sell them. Just trim the ends to fit in the receiver holes. Since the diameter is a little larger than the factory pin you have to pop it in place from inside by removing the trigger group. Sizing the whole stick is not necessary, just the ends. 300 rounds and mine shows no signs of wear, and it really take the slap out of the bolt.
 
That glue buffer just has the potential to make such a mess if it heats up. Please post pics if it does that, I'm sure it'll be a first!

they look cool tho, its entertaining. lol
 
Good point of the melting tempurature of the glue stick. I didn't add that piece of information. The sticks I use has a melting point of 147 degrees F to 151 Degress F. Sticks with a 105 F rating could get a little drippy. I do not think the back of the receiver would get anywhere near 150 Deg. F. I will let you know if I am wrong come summer. Then you guys can have a laugh at my expense.
