Perfect timing. I got the new part in a few weeks ago! I have made this upgrade before, and its not hard to do. But I truly appreciate the Brownells, "after school special" educational films! Thanks Caleb!
If the only difference is that hump, couldn't you just grind the hump off on the stock catch? Seems like that'd be pretty simple. I wonder what Ruger is thinking by having the bolt catch work that way in the first place.
brownells trying to make a sale but he did point it out to make it obviously easy to diy. I recall old man Ruger was funny about a lot of things so no telling what he was thinking back then.
Yet another mod that should be a manufacturer standard. C'mon Ruger, step up your game. It's like buying a Glock, it'll work just fine, but to get it to where all others come in their stock configuration and arguably better, you gotta start adding aftermarket components.
I've already enjoyed years of customizing my AR platforms to my needs, and am just about ready to dive into the wonderful 10/22! Excellent video and very well done tutorial/explanation! Thank you!
My thought, only for an experienced shooter. (My) kids might try to go too fast and not excercise proper (index) finger control. I can see (my) kids "slingshot" and followed with 1 or 2 unintended rounds. Thanks. Good instructions.
@@DanielReyes-hz1qk it's really minimal modification. There's a little hump that gets filed down. It's not like a major modification by any means and the factory part can be bought for cheaper than the volquartsen if you wanted to just keep a spare in stock configuration
The reason to buy the volquartsen part, is so that you can put the gun back into its factory configuration. My first 10/22, modified the factory part using a dremel, works like a charm. Second one, I bought the vq part. I don't know why I would ever want to put it back into its original configuration, especially with regard to this particular modification.....it is probably due to the guilt I was feeling over using a dremel to modify a part on a gun. lol
Thanks! That was very helpful. Your calming voice was helpful! "Don't panic if the pins fall out." Now I can't wait to go out shooting to see the difference.
