Ruger 22/45

I was wondering if anyone had installed aVolquartsen 22/45 accurizing kit on their gun. I am considering it just wanted to know if it made much of a difference. I am also think of putting on a Volquartsen "Exact edge" Extractor. On occasion the brass gets jammed but that is using cheap ammo.....Any info you can give is appreciated.......

  got a 22/45 mk2 & was out running some aguila hv sup-max thru & next to last one in clip ( 2 new ruger clips) would end up stuck in top of chamber edge & leave a v notch in the end, bend the shell & dent on the top side of the case from the slide..load 6 or 10 did the same...did not not have same problem quite as much with regular power 22.. had a mk2 regular model without this problem...stronger main spring to slow slide down??? clip slide seems to feel the same top to bottom...solution for aguila ammo???? thanks

  The only two things that I can think of is the hammer strut isn't in the correct position, I always hold mine upside down and pointed up to get it in the right position. Also, make sure your are depressing the trigger while you try to latch it back into place, if you don't do that it won't fit. I always forgot to do that.

  Rugster,
  
  Just to make sure I checked the manual, look at step 9 thats where it says to depress the trigger. Once you get the hang of it, it is a breeze to take apart and put back together.

  Try this site on for size, it has much better directions than you will find in your manual.

  Rugster,
  
  I have hell every time I tear my dad's apart. Took me forever even with the damn instructions. The site crisisbill mentioned helps A LOT. I'd still be trying to get that damn thing together if not for it.
