VOLQUARTSEN PARTS INSTALLED - Now what to do with old parts

[fljp2002]

So changed the bolt buffer, bolt release and hammer on my 10/22 to Volquartsen parts. I did not change the hammer spring or trigger spring that came with the kit

Now I guess my collection of parts begins or do you al think there is a market for those parts

Keep them if you decide to sell an revert back to original. You’d be surprised as to the buyers who won’t touch a modified gun. Some will, some won’t.

Just remember to label them well.
Thirty years from now it'll pay off!

If you don't mind sharing, where did you buy the Volquartsen parts? I'm trying to avoid Brownells.

Cant believe this has not been said yet...

Found a 10/22 part... Time for another build!

Lol, to touch on another thread. Use one of the CCI clear box's ... Put them in there in storage... Mark what they are.

I have an entire shelf in my safe dedicated to extra parts... A lot of the guns I dont own any more either!

put them in a ziplock and label it with what gun and what they are.
20 years from now when you go to sell that gun and you hand the guy that ziplock he will think your the smartest person ever to walk gods green earth.

that and you never know when something is gonna break or when your gonna lose something while cleaning your gun.
never hurts to have back up parts.
and, as a added bonus, one day soon youll have enough extra parts to build a whole new gun!
thats how you know that the addiction has taken hold.

Keep them in a box until you have replaced everything on your original rifle, then just re-assemble it and sell.

Indeed. I have a bucket full of parts I thought I'd remember where they won't.. NOT.

Now I ziplock and label everything, even the obvious stuff

I can usually remember what all the parts are for from 30-40 yrs, but go to town for something and I can't remember why when I got there, or why I got the fridge open, just goes to show what is important I guess.
As soon as you get rid of something, you will need it later.

I also believe you should keep them, unless a great friend has a use for them.
