WANTED Teflon Washer For Front Rifle Rest 1-1/2" OD x 7/8" ID

[Texican Slim # 87963]

This is for an old orange HOPPE'S front rifle rest, to go between the knurled adjustment ring & the base. It needs to be 1-1/2" to 2" with a 7/8" hole.

If you don't find one I can make you one in a couple of weeks. The material will be about 1/4 in thick though.

 

As an alternative you can cut a decent washer out of a cheap plastic folder or notebook.

bought one of these back in the early 70's but do not remember a washer. when did this come about? Thanks GW

The HOPPE'S rest didn't come with a washer from the factory. I had a much higher dollar rest that did come with a washer & it operated so much smoother than the HOPPE'S, so I want to add a washer to my HOPPE'S rest.

Might have to try that, THANKS GW

A good 'bolt house' hardware store will have what you need.

Try Ace. Will be nylon instead of teflon but should work OK.

Tried ACE, nothing even close.

Because Fastenal does not stock that washer, they would have to order it & by the time they got it to their store that little washer would cost me about $16.

I bought a couple (nylon) from Lowes. They had them in their specialty Drawers for adds and ends.

I checked at work. The biggest teflon rod I have is 1-1/4" dia.

I found one at Bryan Marine, a local boat selling place. I remembered, years ago I bought a couple bass boats, how the outboard motors were mounted with 3 big bolts through the transom & they had big washers made of some plastic-like material. $3.
