How is this different from competing auto bolt releases which as far as I can tell do the same thing?
Finally addressed the baffling lack of a .22 pistol in my small collection.

That know also locks the bolt back, when you get your 10/22 you will see what I mean.
I have had a basic 10/22 for years, I am familiar with the odd function of the factory release. I understand that the regular bolt release upgrades allows you to slingshot the bolt closed. Both the factory and standard upgrade release allow you to manually lock the bolt back. I am not understanding what the tandemKross product does different.
You can modify the factory part with a dremel to allow slingshot release too.

That's the scope I'm gonna put on it.
Parallax adjustment from 10 yards-infinity is tge main selling point from me here, though I hear Meopta has phenomenal optical quality for tge monet too.

Ok then, this looks like it gives you an extension with that button to lock the bolt back. Truth I have not seen this mod in person but it look pretty cool. But yes if doing the mod yourself works then that what you should do..
Good heads up, though Eurooptics is close enough for me to drive so I could save on shipping

I'm kinda partial to 22s, so great for you!
I have 3 Ruger Markers but they are the older IIs and a III and they're all some of the most reliable and accurate shooters I have.
I also have 3 Ruger 10/22s that are crazy accurate.

The time has finally come to Volquartsenize the Mk IV. Dispatch has been running me like a dog the last couple weeks and as a side effect I find myself with an actual surplus of fundage. I will be getting the full Competition Bolt and also the Accurizing Trigger kit, I'm thinking the gold TiN ones as I think that would look sharp against the blue. I already got some very nice rosewood oversize target grips from Altamont.

I have a mk ll government target model that I bought in the early to mid '80s. I've made no changes to anything. Trigger is very good. Aim & pull the trigger, if I don't hit what I aim at it's on me, not the gun. It is a tack driver. I've put all kinds of ammo thru it and never a problem. A bit tedious to disassemble to clean, but no big deal. Hands down my favorite shooter.
I'd like my Mk IV a lot more if it wasn't such a jamomatic. The hope is the Volquartsen bolt solves this.
After the Mk IV is sorted I will be getting the 10/22 Target I bought at tge same time, and have not shot yet, kitted out.
I will be putting it in a Victor Company Titan 22 stock with the dongus what secures the rear of the receiver and a Meopta 2.5-10x scope.

What is it doing? Loading problems? Extraction/ejection problems?

That sux. Maybe try some higher velocity? I've shot a crap load thru my Mk ll, lower to higher velocity, cheap to more pricey, eats it all. Have you contacted Ruger? I had a little issue with my little .380 Max, called Ruger and they were very helpful. Funky mags so Ruger sent me a couple of new ones, problem solved, quick and easy.
It seems to be either failing to extract or eject spent cases.
I have run high velocity almost exclusively, mainly CCI Mini Mags. Also some CCI standard velocity. Brands I have also used include Federal, Remington, Aguila and a fair bit of GECO. Also a few boxes of Winchester. I haven't bothered sending it to Ruger because 1- it's a PITA and 2- I always intended to upgrade it with Volquartsen internals anyway.

That old looks awesome, but you could probably fix your issues with a new extractor for $25 instead of a new boat for $300.
I ordered the Competition bolt from Volquartsen. They had a a clearance on new stock of an older version for a $100 discount so I got that, it's the black DLC version though, no pimpin' gold for the Ruger now. The trigger kit is out of stock at tge moment however so I'll get back to that later. For now I am hoping the new bolt solves the reliability issues.

I actually really want a .22 or .22 mag revolver despite living in a state where I can get anything now. Having to pull that hammer back is relaxing and helps with focus for me.
A model 617 is fairly high up on my list.
Do you have the blued metal or stainless magazines? If you have the blued metal magazines you may want to check out a YouTube vid on how to tune the feed lips. For some reason there were some issues to that affect. A bit of feed lip tuning seemed to fix similar issues .
Stainless
Is there a more beautiful wood for grips than rosewood?
They feel wonderful in the hand too, an improvement over the slim style factory grips.
Altamont is selling these for peanuts, if you catch them in the middle of a production run that is.

Well, That eliminates that issue then.
Cycles much, much smoother and goofy as it looks the plunger is indeed easier to manipulate.
Hopefully this also solves the cycling issues.
The Volquartsen bolt did indeed do the trick. The Ruger runs like a raped grape ape now. Went through a brick of ammo and other than 3 failures to fire, which I figure to be due to typical rimfire hijinks, it cycled flawlessly. Ammo used was some old federal gameshocks and a few boxes of GECO.

Get yourself some CCI-Mini Mags!
I have like 8,000 of em. I'm in the process of burning off old surplus. 22

Volquartsen Accurizing Kit ordered. With this taken care of I shall now focus on setting up my 10/22 Target Lite. New stock and scope.
Trigger just shipped. How much of a pain will the install be?
I successfully installed the trigger kit. It was a large pain in the anus. The trigger feels fantastic however, also like not having a magazine safety.

Now that my Mk IV is all sorted and running well I finally invested in some additional mags, 3 more for a total of 5 (one box worth of .22 I figured) some brass follower buttons to hopefully alleviate to godawful gitty feel of the things and 9ne of them fancy clipazine speed loaders.
