I just got this bolt handle yesterday. I've come to prefer big, round charging handles and didn't find a Volquartsen or anything else for sale in Canada. (Grey Birch has their Shrike bolt assembly, but I just wanted a big handle and the rod that goes with it.) Ordered from Brownells on Jan 18. Not bad with the way things are going these days.
I saw threads from 2013 and earlier about assembly and availability, but nothing about reliability. I'm curious, how have people found these in terms of what ammo cycles well? My 10/22 was cycling fine even with cheap 22, but I usually use mini mags. I wonder if the heavier bolt handle will cycle less reliably with lower power 22. From what I saw on US reviews, they seem to be fine. People just have to remember to take out the little pin when you install it.
Hoping to get this out to shoot sometime in the next few weeks. I'll post about how it functions with different kinds of 22 ammo.
