Did you think it would make a difference ?An SKS recoil buffer.View attachment 260803
I read a review some where, or part of a review on the interweb, where reviewer said well, "You NEED a piece of plastic they charge $10.00 for!" and then I got it and looked at installing it and thought.....heck this rifle is 60 years old and hasn't beat itself to death yet without a buffer so do I really need RUBBER inside the back of the receiver. If Siminov thought the rifle needed a buffer he would have put one in when he designed it.Did you think it would make a difference ?

Plus it was one of the few parts you could buy during the "panic". Forehead slap!

So what firearm related item have you purchased on a spur of the moment that was a completely stupid idea?
Mine is buying 2000 5.56 links when Im pretty sure I will never own a SAW. It was a "oh cool, machine gun links" purchase that I then said "that was stupid"
At least the 222 rem I bought accidentally thinking they were 223 fit

I'll probably at least make a crisscross bandoleers of 223 to wear around the house.
1. 30 round duckbill mag for a Yugo SKS. Wouldn't feed worth a darn. I wound up using it as a target for target practice.
2. Folding pistol-grip stock for a Yugo SKS. Yugo's are so nose-heavy with their long barrels, grenade launchers and bayonets that trying to fire one with the stock folded is a waste of time.
3. S&W SW9 Sigma, one of the early subcompact ones with a blowback action that was a scaled up version of their .380. Pure junk.
4. Every cheap scope I ever bought before I finally did it right and put a Leupold on my deer rifle.
OK I'll bite. I have an ancient 300 Savage. Still a lovely deer rifle. For whatever reason I bought a box of .308 for it. Yeah, I still have that box. shakes head
