For some time now, I've been sitting on what was apparently an NIB Tri-C Fox Wasp .45 ACP carbine from the early 1970s:
Rare beast that it is, I'd found myself the reluctant custodian of a possibly virgin museum piece. Recent examination, though, has led me to believe that, although it appears new, it has been fired, albeit very few times. This, of course means...heh, heh...that I can fire it without any remorse over exploiting its hitherto thought to be pristine state.
But it needs a bit of help. What appears to be a buffer that has been sitting unused in the back of the receiver for, probably, over 30 years has deteriorated:
There's no way I'm locating an OEM buffer, so what can I fashion a replacement from? Any related thoughts, tips, etc.?
