No such thing as a stupid question, right? 
Where do I get -- or how do I create -- little bits of foam like the one shown to quiet my pull rods?
I know nothing at all about procuring or working with foam plastic.
Thanks!

| I think the slots are usually done with a reciprocating style electric carving knife. If you have a block of suitable foam it should be pretty easy to make the slots. |

Those look like foam rectangles that were removed from a sheet of "pluck foam". Alot of gun and gear cases have a layer of this foam in them that you pluck to the shape of whatever you want to put in them.
When you're done you end up with a lot of these little rectangles.

| I bought some of that at Hobby Lobby and cut it with an electric knife. |

It looks like 'Open Cell' Foam?
Sometimes used as filters?
You can usually cut foam with any sharp knife.

I just bought a regular sponge from Wally World and made my own.

Yes any big craft store-Hobby Lobby or G street fabrics, etc. Or if you've saved the cardboard box & foam from all the rifles you've bought.
When I got a GFI from Billy Cooper-he puts these on all he sells. Mine squeaked a tiny bit so I took it off but the rattle was so bad it got put right back on. It's definitely the way to go. |
