Cost effective kit - works well - Volquartsen Firearms OpticsPlanet Exclusive Ruger 10/22 Automatic Bolt Release and Recoil Buffer Bundle

So these installed easily. The release could be made by just drilling out the hole (get rid of the 'tab' of your existing release). But the price was worth it to have it done and have the OEM part left over if this one malfunctions.

The hold back cross pin installs a little more difficultly, has one chamfered end hard for me to see but should be placed in a hole first and followed through to the other side. I tapped it with a small plastic head hammer to get it in place. It will probably stay put better than the OEM steel pin.

The release functioned perfectly, no mis-releases, every time it was used. I can't say if the recoil was less, there's not much with the 10/22 and a heavy bull barrel, but I had no miss fires or fail to eject as some theorized. I think I got the kit for about $10 here - put it in both my 10/22s (Target and Carbine) and installed and worked equally well in both.
