I just installed a Volquartsen Accurizing kit on my Mark 2. Only 1 swear word!

Well, After 3 hours of cleaning, watching YouTube videos and testing every fibre of my patience, I finished my first mod on a firearm! My Ruger Mark 2 Target is a nice pistol to shoot at the range, but I wanted to try my hand at improving its trigger and furniture. It was also my first time taking it down and giving it a really good clean. While it was touch and go with big hands and tight spaces at times, I kept at it and am pretty proud of myself for only only swearing once! (In full disclosure my 9 year old twin daughters were in the next room)

The bolt stop pin on the reassembly was the toughest part. I kept getting the hammer strut in the wrong place too!

This new interest is growing with each new experience! Addictive for sure!

I also figured I would give some Fireclean samples a go while I had it apart.

I got the kit from A place in Bonnyville, Alberta. The grips are splalted cherry from a place in South America.

Good work. I really like those grips, they are stunning.

Nice grips. I just got a mark3 and have learned the joys of basic dissasembly. Lol.

I've been trying to track one of these kits down myself. Did you get it from Sylvestre's?

Thread revival! Any reports from the range on how this install worked? Be curious to hear if you felt it was worth the $$.

My GF's 22/45 felt like a different gun after the install of our kit.

We also did the Tandemkross trigger and the big kit.

Totally worth it

Nice job on the pistol.

If your pistol sits in the safe for any period of time, I suggest you test it before taking it to the range. Similar to Froglube, Fireclean begins to get a bit gummy after about 3-4wks in a dry safe.

I feel your pain....and the grips are sweeeeeeeet...

I've installed the MKII VQ Accurizing kit in my MKIII and it makes it a whole new gun. 1.25lbs trigger that you can set creep and return, extended mag release, and good-bye mag safety - it is worth every penny. Anyone I let shoot my MKIII loves it, and those that have a MKII or MKIII always ask me where they can by the VQ Accurizing kit - so I direct them to Sylvestre's.
