I think I'm finished with my Mark IV upgrades.

I finally finished (for now) my Ruger Mark IV 22/45 Lite. The only thing on it from Ruger now is the frame. The trigger was replaced with a Volquartsen Accurizing Kit and a Tandemkross Victory Trigger.

There is a VQ LLV-6 in. barrel and compensator along with a Bill Striplin thumb Rest and Extended Safety.

Trigger Pull is a nice and consistent 2 lbs.

Work of art.

How hard was The Volquartsen to install on the Mark IV?

I’m getting one with an integrated Suppressor.

It wasn't too hard if you watch the video from Volquartsen. Took me about an hour. You really need three hands, a good vice to hold the pistol while working on it was a big help.

I used forceps to hold the sear and that helped me. A tweezers would work as well.

Second time, after the recall from Ruger, only took me 30 minutes.
