I broke a small part called a buffer in my Model 60 last week. The part came in Friday. A young man I know is hoping to become an engineer in the firearm business.
I’m giving him the action and the new part to try to fix.
Everybody breaks a buffer eventually. The plastic facory buffers get brittle over time and crumble.
The neoprene replacements seem to last forever.
It’s not too difficult, just make sure he puts a paperclip in the hole in the bottom of the hammer strut before taking it apart so the hammer strut spring does not fly out and get lost.
