Nice collection!

 

Thanks. The ability to so easily swap uppers on the MK IV’s is awesome. The 3.5” in the pic is one of the ones Volquartsen shortened. I haven’t shot it yet as I just picked it up today.

The bolts with VC’s shiny black finish are more than eye candy. They really are much smoother cycling.

They've become modular pistols. And easy to maintain.

 

Yeah, like LEGO’s, customize to your heart’s content (or wallet’s limit 😂)

 

Glad the lower worked out well for you and it found a good home!

 

So I noticed in @Raztus collection, that each Upper has it's own bolt. I am wondering the pro's and con's of having a unique bolt for each Upper?

I have a Mark IV 22/45 Lite and just added a 5.5" Bull Barrel that I purchased from Volquartsen. I love the fast swap, and the feel of the same grips and trigger - and am currently use the original bolt that came with the 22/45 Lite on both Uppers. Everything function perfectly.

So what are the pro's and con's of using the same bolt on both Uppers?

Thanks!

Thanks!

There is probably no advantage. I will say that the Volquartsen bolts with DLC slick finish seem to operate smoother. If you keep a look on their clearance and e-bay pages they sometimes Ruger bolts thar they have coated for sale.

 

The con is not having will power when Volquartsen runs their DLC coated bolts on clearance. So slick and easy to clean. Their upgraded bolts are also a real buy at $45.
