Volquartsen Ruger Mark II/III VC Frame

[tonhe]

Looks like Volquartsen has/is finally releasing a Ruger Mark 2/3 lower!!!

They've even got a version with their accurizing kit preinstalled!

MidwayUSA shows they're going to have stock early next year. I'll probably just end up building a whole new gun with a Tactical Solutions Pac-Lite upper with a threaded barrel. Seems like MidwayUSA has all of the parts I'll need to complete it.. (bolt, mainspring assembly, etc)

I'm not sure if I'm just late to the party, or if this is a brand new product.. but I'm definitely going to build one!

Anodized aluminum?

I wouldn't mind one of those if they made them for the 22/45, even though the price is a little hard to swallow when that frame and trigger combo costs more than the initial price of my gun.

Yeah, that's the biggest problem I see... I think these are supposed to take the 22/45 internals, but I'm not sure how the magazine would work...

I'll try to get more information from Volquartsen...

According to the link you provided, the frame only works with Mark II/III stuff, and not the 22/45. Maybe they'll start making 22/45 frames some day.

According to their website it's for the 22/45 as well...
