Firing Pin & Extractor Upgrade | Sold by Pete’s Pillars
The Volquartsen VC10FE Bolt Tune-Up Kit is a precision upgrade designed to improve reliability, ignition consistency, and extraction in Ruger 10/22–pattern firearms. Offered by Pete’s Pillars, this kit reflects the shared standards of quality, experience, and real-world performance that define both Pete’s Pillars and Volquartsen.
Volquartsen is widely recognized for setting the benchmark in rimfire performance components. The VC10FE kit combines two of their most trusted bolt upgrades—the VC10EE Exact Edge Extractor and the VC10SSFP SureStrike Firing Pin—into a matched set that addresses common factory shortcomings without compromising durability or function.
The SureStrike firing pin is CNC-machined from hardened tool steel and features controlled vertical travel to reduce pin bounce and inconsistent rim strikes. The Exact Edge extractor is EDM-cut from A2 tool steel and heat treated for long service life, providing a sharper, more consistent hook for reliable case extraction across a wide range of ammunition types.
Together, these components deliver smoother cycling, improved ignition consistency, and dependable extraction—benefits that matter whether you’re shooting steel, hunting small game, or simply putting rounds downrange.
Pete’s Pillars is proud to be an authorized Volquartsen dealer, offering proven rimfire components from a manufacturer trusted by competitive shooters and enthusiasts alike.
