Well made parts

This kit is more difficult to install than the previous one in my Ruger MKII. I had to watch the installation video a few times in order to get it right, took about an hour. The trigger pull went from 5 pounds to 2 pounds with this kit. I would wait until the trigger is adjusted to use lock tight on the trigger set screws. This kit is worth the price.

Great Trigger

-Great trigger! -Installation takes some patience -I wish the kit came with paper instructions

A little disppointing

Trigger pull is 3.75 lbs. Not 2.5 as advertised.

Great End Results, Some Install Caveats

Other reviews cover a lot. The end result is a fantastic trigger for a drop in, but the installation process could have gone better. Thought I'd provide a few things I encountered during install: If you have never disassembled/reassembled one of these before, take some pictures/notes and be prepared to spend a little more time. I can put together a 1911 or AR in my sleep, but is my first Mk XX... You MUST be able to go on-line to the VQ website for instructions. These require you have the Ruger manual for the parts diagram. The kit comes with a trigger bar, but the on-line instructions do not reference this as a VQ part and the pictures show use of the original factory part. You will have some parts from the factory that you do not replace and there is no VQ equivalent. These are not explicitly listed. Noted my factory Ruger manual has two different parts labeled with the same number (24). One of these is a discard part. Step 6 of the on-line instructions refers to an optional spacer washer. I believe this needs to fit inside the large hole in he replacement trigger bar. Mine did not (barely), and before I discovered that I found that the safety took a lot of effort to engage and the hammer would not release from the sear. Once I put things together without this washer everything was fine. Needless to say this added a good amount of time and annoyance to the install. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the installation hassles (assuming it functions properly with live ammo of course!).

Follow up - The VQ disconnector fixed it

Follow up to my first review: As told by Volquartsen, sometimes the Volquartsen disconnector (the one for the Mark II and Mark III are a direct fit in the Mark IV) is needed to make this accurizing kit function correctly. Apparently sometimes it works without and other times not, differences in manufacturing frame tolerances I guess. That is exactly the issue I had, the hammer position and jamming had nothing to do with it. As soon as I got the disconnector all my issues were solved and my MkIV hunter has an amazing trigger is and is a real joy to shoot!
