quick question

The spring buffer, or whatever its called (the plastic piece that goes around your striker spring) in my gun somehow broke. Will my gun run fine without it, or should I buy a new one.

(Note: I test dry-fired my gun and it fired fine, I just want to know if my gun is safe without it)

Thanks

I've often wondered that myself. I think what that little rubber piece does is keep the spring from getting caught on anything....but I'm probaly wrong

its the bumper. I think it just absorbs the kick from the striker coming back and recocking. So um, i guess u can live w/out it. But u might get some more kick.

if it does it would only be damage on the back end. Which is not a vital part. I don't "think" anything serious can happen.

you can live w/o it for a little while....

but, if kingman went to all the trouble to put it there, it will probably be necessary at some point. find a new one or something similar when you can.

OR, fix a friends marker, and steal it. It helps if they are a newb b/c then they wouldn't know anything is missing. And if they see urs just say its a upgrade. An upgrade they don't make anymore.....and won't work on their gun.
