Link to: VC10TH Installation Instructions at VolquartsenLance, Shot the 10/22 with the upgrades. (VC10TH) All I can say is WOW. It shot so well that two of the guys I was with said they were going to buy 10/22s so that they could do the same. One other guy said he was going to do his and asked if I would help. Once again thanks for a great product! ~ Mark in DE
Lance, I received my order of 10/22 Shims and VC10TH. I started with 5 1/2 to 6 lbs. After installing the kit it was consistent at 2 1/4 lbs. What a difference they made! It is finally a joy to plink, and at longer ranges far more accurate. Thanks! I've told all the guys at the club, and showed them the difference, but you can't argue with a trigger scale. Thanks Again! Ted

Another Volquartsen Must-Have Accessory, you will wonder what you ever did without it!
Instructions are on our
Shim Kit Installation Page.
Auto Bolt Release: two common issues we have found that will prevent it from operating as it should. If you're experiencing issues, here are two quick things to check: Interference with some aftermarket extended magazine releases. The easiest way to check this is with the bolt locked open, push and hold the magazine release forward, pull back on the bolt handle and if it releases you have found the culprit. The good news is this is an easy fix. All that is needed is a small amount of material removed on either part. It should require no more than .010" removed. If an aftermarket bolt is installed (either in a Ruger® or other receiver) it's possible the bottom of that bolt is machined differently than the factory contour and will not allow the bolt release to work as designed. In this case, you'll more than likely not be able to get the bolt to lock open as it should. Unfortunately there is no fix for this and the factory bolt release is recommended.

Volquartsen VC10FE 10/22 Bolt Tune-up Kit
VC10SSFP SureStrike Firing Pin and VC10EE Extractor
Fits ~ Ruger 10/22 and Thompson Center T/CR22
Volquartsen Sure Strike Firing Pin is designed to minimize and/or eliminate light hits on the Ruger 10/22 (LR model only). The SureStrike Firing Pin is precision EDM machined from A2 tool steel. The impact section of the firing pin is then surface ground to create the optimal “SureStrike” each and every time!
This new firing pin is also .004" wider than the factory firing pin to help eliminate side to side movement in the factory bolt.
Firing Pin Fits .22 LR ONLY - NOT for .22 Magnum
Hardened to a Rc 56-58 to prevent any excessive wear and deformation that can be found on the factory firing pin. The hardening process on the A2 material allows for a much deeper hardening when compared to conventional case hardening.
This VC10FE Kit Includes Both the VC10SSFP and the VC10EE
NOTE: Extractor Spring No Longer Included
#VC10FE $41.95 FREE USA ONLY Shipping!
Volquartsen Extended Bolt Handle
and Recoil Rod Assembly
Fits ~ Ruger 10/22 and Thompson Center T/CR22
Improved design gives the shooter more control.
The Extended Bolt Handle features the same shape and design as the bolt handle featured on our fully machined bolts. This handle has also been extended 0.25" for faster, easier operation. The recoil rod is polished, hardened and coated with a proprietary finish. This finish is not only extremely hard, but also contains lubricating features to create an extremely smooth operating guide rod. This coated recoil rod reduces friction which improves both feeding and ejecting. A recoil rod spring is also included. This spring has been cryogenically treated to withstand years of use.

Volquartsen F.A.Q.'s
How does the automatic bolt release work?
A. Your stock 10/22 works like this;
Pull the bolt back with your right hand, with your left hand you lock the bolt in place with the little lever in front of your trigger guard- (the bolt release)
With your stock gun; your bolt is locked open, you pull the bolt back a little, AND with your left hand you push the bolt release and let your bolt go forward.
-If you install the Automatic Bolt Release-
Your bolt is locked open, You pull the bolt back a little AND LET IT GO
Thats it, Automatic Bolt Release, no fumbling with that little bolt release lever to release the Bolt from the Open Position.
Troubleshooting FAQ's
A Note About the Trigger Return Spring in Plastic Trigger Assemblies;
When installing the VC10TH or Wolff 18076 in a plastic trigger assembly we have found through field reports that it is best to reuse the Stock Trigger Return Spring and as the one included in these kits may not be heavy enough to properly reset the trigger on some plastic trigger assemblies.
While installing this spring will reduce the Trigger Pull Weight, the only way to tell if it will prove reliable is to try it.
This problem is rarely seen in Metal Trigger Housings.
