To upgrade your couple hundred dollar 10/22, just replace the receiver ($485), trigger group ($296), bolt ($286), barrel ($368) and stock ($146) and you will have a custom $1581 rimfire and a complete stock 10/22 that you can sell.
My 10/22 was upgraded 10-15 years ago, Volquartsen trigger kit, extended mag release, auto bolt release, bolt buffer and new pistol grip skeleton stock (Choate I think), It is now a marvellous lightweight rabbit rifle. (UK)
That's so great to hear! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for providing these upgrade options!
many moons ago when volquartsen first offered 10/22 goodies. i bought a helical flute match barrel 1.00 inch. a drop in trigger 2 stage adjustable and the bolt and spring with the nylon buffer pin. then the cantilever scope mount. still have it 30yrs or so later. can keep a 100rd box of cci green tag match in a quarter size post it dot at 100meters with a kahles 30mm straight 12x scope.
Definitely bought upgrades for 4 10/22 and a Black Mamba, lot os joys doing the upgrades, did not buy receivers or bolts as those are insanely expensive if buying for 4 rifles but also got a trigger kit for a Ruger Mark III, barrels, triggers. other parts, very recommended and the bolts and receivers if you have the cash.
I've built a few 10/22s for myself many years ago, now I work at a part time gunsmith, I have had a few customers come in and ask me to build one for them. I like your brand, so that's where we'll go.
Appreciate that!
I bought my plain Jane 10-22 carbine back in '88. Since then I have swaped out the trigger group for Ruger's after-market refined version and mounted a big, fancy target-type telescopic sight specially made for the .22 long rifle cartridge. Now I have an excellent 50-yard .22 carbine. At a hundred yards, well, that is still a job for mine ancient Great Depression era Model 1933 Savage bolt action with a 25-inch bull barrel and a micrometer-type Lyman peep sight. I am thinking that the disproportionate disparity between group size at 50 yards and group size at 100 yards is due to the parallex adjustment of the scope being set at 50 yards.
Since the advent of You Tube, I have watched several videos about how you can convert your 10-22 into a massive money pit. It can get to the point of being silly. Ruger used to have, and probably still does have, a dedicated target model. It would seem to me that your simplest and most cost effective way to a better 10-22 is to just buy the target model to begin with.
Dude I shoot 3" knockovers at 150 with my factory ruger american and aguila comps. $1000 volquartens perform better than ruger with match grade ammo in competion but with most consumer ammo that most people buy you wont see much difference. A world where 2moa @50 yds is considered decent is not a world of precision. If you want true precision set up a match quality .17 mach II. If you wanna have tons of fun blasting steels out to 100 on a cheap 500rd brick than theres no beating a 10-22. I must say the M&P is a fun little zombe slayer too. I suppose the game of bulding your own high end rifle to your taste and shooting at 2" spots @50 with open sights is appealing to a lot of people. Older gentleman as myself no longer have the vision to focus on open sights AND distant targets but 3-9s and red dots work well enough for a good time. Ranging knockovers @100-200 and hitting them with the ruger american/ pride fowler rapid reticle is quite satisfying to me. M&P with red dot is perfect for short range zombie work on the walking courses. Bullpupped 10-22 with firefly bolt, CCI 710s and 3-9 fire dot for night ops. I've thought about building a Volquartzen or Kidd with 2 stage match trigger but I got all 3 of my rifles for almost the price, sans optics of course.
People like to build custom rifles. Your comment is stupid. Anything can be a money pit
@@mikeguy9668 That was really not very nice.
Shame they are out of stock of basically everything.
Not as of Nov 2023; I ordered a TG2000 assembly for my takedown 10/22 and received it promptly. Same when I ordered a trigger assembly for my Mark IV Hunter. They are both great, transform the guns.
Bought one used (shot one time) off neighbor for 150, already spent 550 on upgrades, had no trouble finding any parts. Your looking in the wrong place
Awesome rifles👌 Sadly, for me, and several of my friends, we cannot purchase complete rifles in the UK😕 it would be nice to see a UK importer of complete rifles!
That was a list of all the parts you sell. I had hoped you would say, where to begin, and what to do next, then next, then next. The action kit sounds good, but it is not as sexy as most of us hope to do with our dreams of a fancy race gun.
Trigger is always the best place to start. Followed by optic. Extended mag release is also good for quicker reloads. Then how does the stock feel? Upgrade that, then move to barrel etc..
Do you have any videos on making one of your match barrels fit into the original stock? My 10/22 is the deluxe spotted with no clamp on the Barrel
It's simple. Wrap sandpaper around a socket and sand the barrel channel on the stock.
You have all of the parts to build a complete custom rifle, except for the stock.
So you would have a Volquartsen 10/22 with no Ruger parts at all.
We do offer our laminated wood stocks if you'd want to go that route, absolutely!
got any barrels for stingers
Can you make an video about the 18.5" matte black 10/22 stainless steel barrel & the 12' Charger fiber barrel for this year. Be great to know more about it, not any videos about them on the Tube. Also the matte black stainless steel 10/22 receiver.
Any specific questions you'd like us to cover?
@@volquartsencustom just a video on the items, accuracy, also the reciever. Like in invest in that due to the engineering on it compared to others especially the OEM Ruger receiver.
Will the upper receiver that's in the video work for a takedown, without the barrel nut being on the receiver?
Unfortunately, the receiver is not compatible with the takedown model. We do have barrel options, as well as our bolt and trigger group for the 10/22 Takedown, though.
How good/bad are cast factory receivers? They seem low quality
For 10/22
Are the trigger housings metal or polymer? I've had bad luck with polymer parts lately. Busted the saftey and trigger guard on my mossberg 500 several months ago and about 3 weeks ago dropped my ruger and cracked the trigger guard on that.
The TG2000 is CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum
Does any of it work with the 10/22 takedown? Is there any variance in tolerances from a ridgid frame to a takedown?
Our Competition Bolt and TG2000 Trigger Group are compatible with the 10/22 Takedown. We also offer Lightweight Barrels for the 10/22 Takedown.
I've got their carbon fiber barrel, hp kit, firing pin, extractor, recoil lug on my takedown with a magpul backpacker stock. Also a tandemkross mag release and extended bolt catch release. Oh and kidd mag plunger and spring lol. It's an awesome gun
@Volquartsen My Volquartsen carbon fiber barrel's accuracy sucks. Is there a break-in period? It's in a Feddersen reciever and KRG chassis. Barrel is free floated.
It won't shoot any standard ammo under 2" at 50y and Federal Match sucks too.
Have you reached out to our techs at tech[at]volquartsen.com? It looks like there is a request for assistance in our queue.
Try 10 lbs not 20 on the barrel screw
I got the snake fluted barrel an shoot rws 50 it's a one ragged hole at 50 yards
Is the Volquartsen replacement receiver a serialized part?
Yes our receivers are serialized
Are you guys located in Carroll Iowa? That’s like 30 mins away from me
That's correct!
@@volquartsencustom very awesome do you have a local selling part of your business there? Or is it all done online
The carbon fiber barrel does not work well with a suppressor. The gap between the barrel and the sleeve makes it inaccurate with a suppressor.
Our current Lightweight Carbon Fiber barrel design prevents this because the actual stainless-steel barrel is the treaded portion.
Probably shouldn’t have a dip in …. Love the product
??
I'm only getting audio no video
seems good on our end?

Overpriced or out of stock
Terrible spokesmen cheeks red, "um um um" however, im definitely interested in the products.
Holy....a young Fat Electrician in the wild
Question? If the 10/22 is such a great rifle(10/22 owners will always tell you that) why do many replace just about every component in and on it? My 10/22 is the only firearm I ever sold, it was alright but far from the best .22 I ever owned. I look at them as the VWBug of firearms, pretty good but common as dirt and easy to modify! If you want a match grade rifle your better off just spending the money on one in the first place.
In my case it comes down to rules in my shooting competition. We’re only allowed to use certain type stocks barrels accessories ect and the 10/22 is the easiest and most common 22 platform to modify into exactly what you want to meet restrictions. For example no thumbholes or pistol grips the only stock this company makes that we can use is the sporter stock. And all flutted barrels are banded to keep you from getting a lighter barrel (carbon fiber barrels are allowed though)
To use your VW Bug analogy, upgrading a 10/22 is inexpensive and easy (compared to other firearms). You can find a fully pimped out VW Baja Bug but you never learned how all the parts go together, interact with each other, and how to easily fix problems that may come up.
Also, there is a huge 10/22 community. You can get really cool upgrades from small, independent shops, and get amazing support and guidance from passionate, knowledgeable, and patient fellow shooters.
Mostly, it's a fun hobby and even on a budget, you can create a really fun rifle by building it up over time as finances allow.
@@delphic464 I totally agree, easy to work on lots of affordable accessories to make a fun affordable pinker. The large capacity magazines are a problem though, who cannot resist a mag dump with a full mag! That was great when you could get a brick of ammo for $15 and unlimited supply. But I think some of these guys out there spending well over $1000 to make a target rifle is ridiculous, just go buy one to start with! I sold mine because of all my .22s it was the most frustrating to keep reliable.
Upgrade a 1022 stop full stop ,POS for sure quality in the Shiter for years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reality !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be prepared for them to gouge you for an average cost of 250.00 - 275.00 just for the bolt. I laughed when I seen the costs of such a basic bolt that's automatically machined.
There's MUCH more to it than that. From how our SureStrike Firing Pin and Exact Edge Extractor are designed and wire-EDM cut plus the DLC coating that's applied to our bolts...but to each their own.
Why is it that the Ruger rifles need so many upgrades? Ruger rifles are already the most over-priced production rifles in the US, they should need this many mods.
I absolutely love my 10/22, but if I want to start precision bullseye target shooting, the 10/22 is not the platform I would choose. Even one which is heavily modified. There are far, far better rifles out there for that and, yes, you will pay far more. But if you're serious about that hobby, that's the smartest choice. Oh yeah, and I have a rule: Never, EVER put more money into "upgrading" a gun than the gun actually costs. It's simply not worth it on any level and you won't get more than marginal improvements in accuracy. (Those can only be had by becoming a better marksman.)
Thats a stupid fucking comment
Why do you charge a 100% more for your products, when your products don't improve anything by 100%....
That's a very silly way to ask such a question when Volquartsen makes such top quality products. Go ahead, buy cheap products and get substandard or negative improvements.
I are curious but broke? I watched lol
Dumbass
Start by putting it back into your gun closet and buy a CZ 457.
🧢
Put your CZ in front of the 10-22 @ get an Annie.
😂 that’s a bolt gun. 10/22 is semi auto.
The only thing a 10/22 excels at is wasting ammo!
Why buy a 10/22. Just buy those parts and a stock
Alot of people do. All depends on what you're after
Terrible salesman
