Pimped out Ruger 22/45

[Stevel Knievel]

Has anyone used Volquartsen parts to upgrade their 22/45? If so, can you give me your opinions and share pix? I have a Target 22/45 that I would like to upgrade with a better frame than the plastic one it came with. Thank you.

Head over to Rimfirecentral.com. You will see an entire section dedicated to the 22/45. I have added the hammer bushing to remove the mag lock. Now the mag drops free and the trigger is much better. There are a lot of guys over there that completely trick them out with VQ stuff.

I love rimfiresports.com

I have the hammer bushing, trigger and assembly. I'd highly recommend their parts.

I have the Volquartsen trigger and sear (and a few other parts) in my 22/45. No regrets. They make some top notch stuff. I used the MkII parts on my MkIII to remove the mag disconnect. I also have a full Volquartsen MkII (Master's). The gun is a crazy accurate, but doesn't get much use from me these days.

Replaced the trigger, hammer, sear, hammer bushing, and all associated parts for Volquartsen. Would definitely do again.

Love the grips. Where did get them?

That is a fine looking pistol. Is the frame stock? Is it a Target model? Where did you get the grips? Did they require some drilling if it is the Target model?Thank you and thanks to the others for sharing.

No, it's the standard threaded 22LR 22/45. The grips did require new grip bushings and some fitting around the bolt release.

I also have one with the removable grips and have replaced the trigger, hammer and sear with the Volquartsen Accuracy group. It is a pleasure to shoot.
My brother has one with the integral grips. These reportedly can be machined off and bushings placed so that the 1911 style grips can be used.
I think that if you get into replacing the grip frame its going to be a whole lot more money, defeating the beautiful concept of having a $500 pistol that can shoot with a Mod 41 at less than 1/2 the price.

Did you have the wood or plastic factory grips? If wood, are you interested in selling them cheap (to me)?

I think they were wood. I'll see if I still have them. If I do, they are yours.

Sweet! Thank you. Let me know.
