PE Etha Bolt Bumper

[UnknownBirchwood]

I seek knowledge from the wise of MCB!

I just picked up an original Etha for cheap, the marker runs fine, but the bolt bumper has turned to goo, and doesn't seem to actually do any bolt-bumpering. I've been trying to find one here in Canada, and have had a very hard time.

Anyone have the same issue and find an alternative solution? PE didn't recommend an alternative, but of course they wouldn't and it's way out of warranty. I was thinking an Automag bumper cut to fit the Etha powertube.

I decided to give the modified Automag bolt bumper a try, it appears to fit fine, it might be a little thin to be effective at cushioning the bolt's return. I'll run a couple pods through soon and see how it goes. I've got a TechT MRT v2 bolt on its way in, so it should make the bumper a little less necessary.
