Cured Misfires.
I discovered that the original firing ping had worn down and was barely striking the rim. Also 1 side of the recoil spring retainer clip at the rear of the action was broken off. It was only firing about 2-3 rounds per 10 round mag. Found the problem with a bore scope. After replacing the firing ping, and recoil spring assembly, it now fires 100% of the time. Loving my Mach III again. Quick turn around and the parts fit perfectly.

Excellent Products
Volquartsen products have a well deserved excellent reputation and my experience confirms that. The replacement firing pin was purchased to replace the OEM Ruger MkIV firing pin that has been reported to break at the lightening hole after much use. The VQ should last forever. I have had VQ extractors in an earlier MkII and three 10/22s and they've all functioned perfectly. The three failures reported by one user above require more information as this is unprecedented.
