   Slick looking bolt. Seems to work well without any misfires. I do have some trouble removing the bowl for cleaning however. I do like the one piece design although you have to unscrew the handle to remove the boat. It would only work with a Volquartsen however.

   I wanted to upgrade my bolt in my Ruger 10/22, so I did some research. My choice was the Volquartsen bolt, great choice. My accuracy improved, because my rifle runs so smooth. Pair this with a Volquartsen trigger group & you now have a nice combination.

   Works as expected, would give five stars but my first one shipped without firing pin, kind of an important component in a firearm. Optics planet sent a replacement as soon as mine was dropped in the mail. Also kind of expensive for what you get, but worth it if you get it on sale.PVD coating seems to hold up well and no light strikes from the firing pin, only about ~300 rounds though.Full build:-Brownells 1022 TD Stripped Receiver-Volquartsen Bolt-Volquartsen Trigger Group-TacSol SB-X TD Barrel-Magpull X22 Backpacker Stock-Magpull Backpacker Barrel Optics Mount-Holosun Chinesium 507C-X2

   I bought this Volquartsen bolt for a rifle I built made entirely of Volquartsen parts, minus the stock which was made by Hogue. I couldn't be happier with this bolt.First off, it matches all the other Volquartsen components on the rifle. Second, and this is purely aesthetic, it's black, which is exactly the color I was looking for. Third, and I might be imagining this, but it seems as if the finish is "slick", and it seems to function/operate smoother than other bolts I've used in the past (made by other manufacturers and Volquartsen). Fourth, I eluded to this in my previous point, is that it seems to function/operate very smoothly, with no hang ups due to friction (yet). Finally, the bolt handle is very secure.Expanding on that last point, Ruger 10/22 bolt handles don't attach to the bolt but to the spring rod, whereas all the Volquartsen bolts I've owned had the handle attach directly to it. Previous Volquartsen bolts I've owned had the bolt handle attach directly to the bolt via some kind of detent, in which the handle would "pop out" of the handle if pulled out with enough force…it was solid enough for my purposes, but I assume it could inadvertently detach under the right circumstances. However, this NEW bolt has a handle that attaches via a hex screw – it may make it slightly more difficult to field strip (since you need to remove the handle to disassemble), but it will also be much more secure during normal operation. I prefer this new set up, but it might be because I don't clean my weapons frequently enough (for those of you picked up on the comment above about the bolt hang up in the receiver).Only downside I can think of is the high-ish price, but Volquartsen products are usually priced higher than average. It's a company that has a very good reputation that produces components with very tight tolerances. Some people think the tolerances can be too tight, making the overall gun "picky" with ammunition, or making the parts difficult to assemble due to "fitting". But I'm not reviewing the company, I'm only reviewing this one part – the bolt – and I'm extremely satisfied. Then again, I've owned LOTS of Volquartsen products, I've always been happy with all of their parts…just wanted to add that last point because, as a loyal customer, my review may contain some bias.

   During installation of the bolt if the rod end comes out of the notch in the back of the receiver and the bolt slides forward, it will be stuck in the receiver. At this point you will have to bend the rod or cut it to remove the bolt.You will then need a new rod and spring.Every time you clean the gun you run this risk.In my opinion it is not worth the risk and this issue needs to be resolved by Volquartsen.Optics Planet why are you selling a part with this kind of known design flaw.Why are there no warnings in the description of the product. I expect better…
