Beautiful! - Volquartsen Firearms Ruger Mark II-IV Competition Bolt

I don’t think you can appreciate, just how good this looks, especially if you have gold accents from the factory, without the ability of attaching pictures to the review. I have the Mk IV 22/45 lite, in black with the gold barrel and gold trigger. I’ve also replaced the black grip panels, with Hogue panels in green lava. Part number for OP, is 79148. I also changed the OEM trigger for a gold Volquartsen accuritizing kit, also bought through Optics Planet; part # VC4AK-GT. It really is beautiful!
The bolt itself, is very slick. A little dab of oil goes a long way. The gold coating, also seems extremely tough. After a couple of hundred rounds, there’s not even a scratch. I did change the spring that it came loaded with, to the included low power spring. (It also came with the gold high power spring)I primarily shoot suppressed, with either standard velocity or suppressed ammo.(100%) But, I think I’m going to switch back to the original spring, it came pre-loaded with. CCI ammo is pretty reliable, and I had some rounds that failed to fully cycle. But that’s on me.
