Blaser stock rubber

[Miletic]

Guys, does anyone have a problem with the recoil rubber on Blaser weapons. I have several pieces of their weapons and two of them have problems with the rubber. R8 and F16

 

[Ndczerwinski]

Yeah, I bought a used R8 and the buff pad was starting to disintegrate like that.

$200 was around what I paid for a new one.

same thing happened on my synthetic stock R8, they replaced it free of charge , good as new now

I contacted Blaser and was told that my local dealer would provide me with free rubber

That's a lot. In EU the price for Blaser rubber is 70eu (85USD)

How long did it take for your rubbers to wear out? Very quickly or gradually? I will post a picture of the F16 later. With her, the rubber gradually wears out

the rubber on the R8 synthetic stock was degrading without use, they had a problem with the manufacture thats why they replace no cost

My friend had a similar issue with his R93. He took the pad off himself and shipped it out to have a new pad put on.

Intreasting point. Something similar happened to me recently on the first outing in the field with the R8 and I assumed it got torn in the bush. But looking at the accelerated wear on the edges of the butt pad that was not it. I'll keep an eye on it to see how quickly it progresses.
I've already ordered a replacement pad to have in reserve.

Yes, that's it. That's exactly what happened to me

It's a mistake in one series. They tried to reduce the recoil as much as possible. And really, these tires cancel the shock perfectly.

This is apparently a fairly well-known issue—or at least it used to be. If this happens, I would recommend replacing it with a different recoil pad.
Pachmayr offers one that is pre-fitted and ready to be screwed straight on the R8/R93. Plus, it feels much better than the original.

 

[Miletic]

Rubbers ho not have a problems, in fact that are not from the bad Blaser series, are excellent. I have two more R8 carabins and the l rubber on them are excellent even though they have been used for ten years. Otherwise, Pacmayer is excellent and I rank it at the very top.

That's not good, I have 2 R93 and F3 and never had anything like that!

I had the same issue on one of my R8.

I contacted Blaser Customer Service, sent a pic of my recoil pad (here under) and received a free replacement.

How much is rifle old?

I think they treat customers correctly. Maybe I'm not authoritative because I worked as a journalist in a weapons magazine, so they always sent me what I observed. I don't mean only Blaser, but also other brands. The best relationship I've had with Zeiss. They ship directly from Germany directly to the customer's address, if something breaks from the parts on their products

On Beretta 92FS I lost one of the 4 screws on the grip cover. I still haven't received it, even though I've been looking for it for a year
