Default Ruger Mark III upgrade saga...

Voila!

I finished reassembling the frame and bolt of my Ruger Mark III 512.

Whew!

I installed the complete Volquartsen Pistol Competition Kit, which
consists of a new extractor and firing pin for the bolt (easy to
install...gives you overconfidence! ), and for the frame, a target
hammer, target sear, target trigger with adjustable pre travel and
overtravel set screws, extended bolt release and trigger return spring
with polished plunger.

It’s not nearly as straightforward and easy to install as the various
videos of instructions show:

The little bitty springs are a bitch, especially for older eyes. The
Volquartsen parts, though, are beautifully made and finished.

The new trigger is terrific! About 2 to 2-1/2 pounds, feels like half
the pull as before. The standard trigger was more than decent, but the
new one is just plain aces. The trigger with its tiny set screws and the
extended bolt release are all that is visible from the exterior.

Just shipped the barrel/upper receiver off to Volquartsen to get the
barrel threaded for my silencer. When I have everything back, I’ll take
some pix and post them.
