    So are these far superior to the Tac Sol barrels you guys carry? Very interested!

    I have one of the aluminum sleeved tension barrels and i have to say i'm very pleased with the quality/accuracy. Very light as well. Reccomended.

    Any chance of bringing in some of the VQ parts for Ruger pistols? I'd love some of that stuff on/in my Ruger Mk III!

    Does anyone have much experience in dealing with Volquartsen? I just recently bought a fusion with 17hmr and 22mag barrels. The 17 shoots lights out ... like 5 shots in a nickel, just fantastic. The 22 mag barrel might be a bit finicky as all I can milk out of it is 1.5" at a 100 yes. Anyway, I was having quite a few jams in the gun - like sometimes 4 out of 9 shots! No rhyme or reason to why. I called volquartsen and was told the tech was busy but would call me that day - nope, never happened. He didn't call the next day either. I called them back and after the receptionist asked what was going on for me, she told me that the tech was really sorry but he got tied up in a project and would call me back later that day - nope. He didn't call that day or the end or the next or the next.

    I called em today and only got voicemail. I explained the lack of responsiveness that I was experiencing and told em not to bother calling me today as I was too pissed off, instead next week would be fine. I know that pissed off comment was a bit stupid but if someone says they are gonna get back to you that day, shouldn't it be that day? I know they are a pretty small shop and do pretty damn good work but shouldn't a guy expect at least a realistic answer after laying out $2400 for a gun?

    I hope this doesn't hijack the thread as I don't mean to cause problems or a pain to Wanstalls but if anyone has experienced similar issues dealing with volquartsen, people who are planning a purchase should know.

    #### happens, stuff comes up. Personally though, I would of tried to contact the customer the next morning before I started working @ anything else.

    Yeah I hear that, and I can understand it when something comes up. Its really the REPEATED failure to follow up on their commitment to contact me that has me a bit annoyed. I would have been fine if they told me "hey, we're really swamped, is it ok if we call you later in the week" - expectations. Maybe I need to correct my thought that when you pay premium for a product there should be premium (or at least above average) service attached to it? I dunno. Anyway, I appreciate your response and yeah, that's how I would have followed up as well - with a phone call the next morning.

    and 22/45s as well. ☺

    Although, at this point, my 22/45's innards are all VQ.
