RECOIL BUFFER KIT FOR SIG 220 / 226
This buffer is a departure from Buffer Technologies line of buffers. Like the Beretta 92/96 buffer they released recently, it was not possible to place a cushioning buffer between the slide and frame like with our other recoil buffers, without making their own guide rod.
This new design includes a stainless steel guide rod with a slide bushing and, of course, a recoil buffer. The guide rod and slide bushing are made from a high carbon stainless steel which has a hardness of 48-52 Rockwell.By installing the new guide rod and buffer you too will reduce felt recoil, enhance muzzle control, and lengthen service life. The guide rod and buffer will fit both the 220 and 226 models.
Installation is a simple: slide the bushing into the guide rod hole in the slide and swap your old guide rod for our new one, complete with buffer. When you pull the slide to the rear, the slide contacts the buffer before it impacts the frame. Replacement buffers are also available on this sight.
