not easy install

by rooster, from PA, United States Written on March 3, 2026
Hang on to that spring!
Might as well by the mag with it already installed.
Not worth the price. Fits kinda wierd with gap between base and mag.

These are awesome!

by PaulS, from WA, United States Written on January 24, 2026
I was trying to order the Tandem Cross baseplates, but they were getting automagically removed as “can’t be shipped to WA”. (I don’t know why) so even though these were twice as expensive I figured they would be removed also, but Noooo! “Order complete.” �. In spite of these being nearly the price of gold, they are really nice, I’ll keep them and put green springs under them (not the easiest thing to do) along with upgraded buttons and hopefully have some super reliable mags for my MK IV 22/45 Lite. I’d still like to try the others so may try again, the longer base is handy for positive seating.
Pros:
  • Fit and finish are excellent
Cons:
  • price
Best Used for:
  • If you want the easiest positive seatting
Would recommend: Yes

  • Solid build
  • Big Upgrade over the stock mag plates
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Ruger Mark IV 22/45

  • can be tricky to install

Purchased these to convert mkiii magazines to work in a mkiv 22/45. Quality made from Aluminum. Increases mag length for easier removal. No malfunctions noted. Would purchase again. Can't go wrong with anything Volquartsen.

High quality

by Mal, from TX, United States Written on February 13, 2021
As expected on any Volquartsen product.... top notch quality. Anodized Aluminum base pads with easy installation. Makes magazine reloads very reliable and ejection very positive . I would buy more for sure. Optics Planet once again processed the order very timely.
