I had a Mercury Challenger (same action, beech stock) in 94. The buffer washer was never a problem as it was removed and the hole for the securing roll pin was redrilled, all to increase the swept volume. Removing the washer gave a little more power but not enough to push it over the limit and produced a smoother firing cycle.
