I made one out of a shock absorber rubber. Put the piece in the freezer overnight and you can drill it, grind it, file it whatever to get it to the desired size. 29 years and still working. Gunsmiths use this trick to file fit a custom butt stock to fit the shooter👍

some of the small parts can be hard to find

the rubber donut

the ring shaped spring that goes in the orange cup and the control lever spring and retainer are often broken or missing
