i was looking for a sausage stuffer for a while....i went on craigslist and found a stuffer for sale a 15 lb model by the sausage maker company in buffalo ny.....100 bucks so im like hey that seems like a pretty good deal....i went and bought this thing brought it home and try to make snack sticks with it and all the meat squishes out around the piston..there's a big gap in the edges....so i call the company to ask if there is a plastic sleeve or something i can buy....the answer i get is that's why we redesigned it your SoL.... so is there anything i can do or am i screwed?
 
Mcguyver here , get a piece of teflon sheet 3/8 - 1/2 " thick and cut to fit the barrel of the stuffer and attach to the end of the plunger. You may ned to do some shaping to make it fit fairly tight and still slide down the barrel

Or have a local tech school CNC router a piece for you????? Your screen name suggests that you should be able to figure something out

Yea, is the O-Ring missing??

Maybe you can just get a thicker O-Ring.

"i went and bought this thing brought it home and try to make snack sticks with it and all the meat squishes out around the piston..there's a big gap in the edges"
I have been using the 3 lbs "horn style" stuffer by Sausagemaker for 10 years and that guy has a similar problem.  I always take a big sheet of tin foil and fold it several times to just a little larger than the "ram" or "pusher" or whatever it is called.  I crimp it over and that usually seals the edge fairly well.  If it needs a bit more, then just add another sheet to fit.  I know it is a different style stuffer but it may help on yours as well.

I read a reveiw that said to use an old sock to wrap around the plunger to stop the meat from backing up through the horn............ I think he was making toe jam sausage...... go figure

By george I think this Dan guy is onto something here. It's the case of the missing O ring.

Now I'm liking Bobs repair idea thou.

it says i dont have permission to create attachments so im not sure how i can give you guys pics......i also found out through the course of all this it's not a 15 pound as advertised it's 10 pound....i made 10 pounds of salamis tonight and it filled it up....that part i dont care though 10 pounds is good for me
 
Try posting your pic again it should upload it may get stuck in the spam filter but that's not a problem it can be approved and show up
