Ruger Vaquero problems

I took my new (24 rounds fired) New Vaquero apart to replace the factory hammer with a new Super Blackhawk hammer. I also replaced the factory springs with a set from Wolf. I also removed the set screw to allow the cylinder to free spin with the loading gate open. During reassembly several times I p...

I got a hold of Volquartsen tech support. They said it could be one of two things. 1. The frame to receiver fit. They said it needs to be tight. Mine meets that criteria. 2. Same thing Bullseye said, to check to see if the rivet that holds the hammer to the hammer strut shows evidence of rubbing. I ...

Yes, the lower frame came as a complete, assembled frame to include grips. All I did was attach the Tac Sol upper and reuse my Bolt and MSH assy.

Hopefully I can talk with VQ tomorrow and see what they say

They were fine. I cleaned then and inspected them when I had the pin out.

Is the hammer spring in the take down lever? I used the same takedown assembly so that should not have made a difference.

I'm stumped!!!

I went to the range this morning. Backed the set screw out a few turns, it still had a light primer strike. I went ahead and backed the screw all the way out and had another light primer Strike. I am thinking I just rules that out. Any other suggestions? I tried to call VQ several times today, kept ...

The VQ frame came assembled, the preset was factory set. It worked properly when I test fired it so I never adjusted it. I will back it off a bit and see if that helps. Just to be sure I understand, are you referring to the upper set screw in the trigger or the one where your trigger finger rests ov...

Light Primer Strikes

I had a Mark II frame with a Tac Sol upper. Ruger bolt. It ran fine, no problems. I bought a new Volquartsen Mark III frame; used the upper and bolt mentioned above. I shot the first 100 rounds or so with no problems. At my next range session just about every other round had a light primer strike. T...

My friend and I both shoot the local Ruger rimfire matches. The gun ran fine; we were just looking for some increased reliability.

Guess I'll swap the old one back in.

Thanks

Feeding problems

Worked on a friends Ruger mark II competition model. Gun fed flawlessly with CCI blazer prior to the installation of a VQ extractor and VQ trigger. Took it to the range today. With several magazines that previously ran fine, the gun repeatedly failed to feed. Looked like the angle of the bullet was ...

BE covered it as he normally does. I just had to replace the bolt stop on my MKIII due to the corner rounding off. A good detail cleaning is in order so you can inspect the parts. Thanks. Spent Saturday shooting our monthly local Ruger rimfire match. Spent today working on my bathroom remodel. Will...

Mark II bolt catch issues

I have a relatively new to me stainless Mark II. The problem I noticed last night was that the bolt catch will not engage. With an empty mag inserted, the bolt will not lock back when pulled to the rear. With a mag out, pulling the bolt to the rear, it is difficult to get the bolt release to set in ...
