VOLQUARTSEN | RUGER MK II & MK III COMPETITION UPGRADES
The Classic Ruger. The Volquartsen Competition Touch.
Bring Volquartsen precision to your Ruger MK II, MK III, or compatible 22/45 with the Pistol Competition Kit featuring the Stainless Target Trigger. Its crisp 2.25 lb trigger-pull design joins a complete Accurizing Kit, Bolt Tune-Up Kit, and CNC-machined disconnector in one carefully matched, Made-in-USA package.
There is a reason shooters hold onto their classic Ruger rimfire pistols. These pistols have spent decades on firing lines, at the range, and in the hands of serious target shooters. Volquartsen's MK II/MK III Competition Kit brings the brand's established approach to precision components to that familiar platform without confusing it with the newer MK IV system. This version puts the clean, timeless appearance of a stainless Target Trigger at the center of the upgrade.
A Crisp 2.25 lb Trigger, with Stainless Style.
Volquartsen designed this Competition Kit around a clean, controlled 2.25 lb Target Trigger pull. Paired with its MK II/MK III Accurizing Kit and separate CNC-machined disconnector, it gives the trigger system the focused attention serious rimfire shooting deserves. The stainless-finish trigger complements the traditional look of a classic Ruger while delivering the refined trigger feel Volquartsen is known for.
For shooters who value predictable feedback on a bullseye target, during deliberate bench work, or on a steel course, that sense of control is the point. This is more than a cosmetic trigger change: the Competition Kit addresses multiple components that shape the shooting experience.
More Than a Trigger: A Complete Volquartsen Kit.
The included Bolt Tune-Up Kit complements the fire-control upgrades with Volquartsen's proven Exact Edge Extractor and SureStrike Firing Pin. These components are designed to support positive extraction and dependable rimfire ignition. Together with the Accurizing Kit and disconnector, they give you a more comprehensive Volquartsen package than the trigger components alone.
The aftermarket for classic Ruger rimfire pistols includes recognizable names such as Tactical Solutions and TANDEMKROSS. But for shooters looking for a coordinated competition-focused internal parts package, Volquartsen remains the centerpiece of this build: precision trigger components paired with its own bolt upgrades.
Build Around the Right Ruger Generation.
This is the MK II/MK III Competition Kit, designed for Ruger MK II, MK III, and compatible 22/45 configurations. It is not an MK IV Competition Kit. For shooters maintaining an older-generation pistol, the Volquartsen Bolt Tune-Up Kit is also offered separately, while the Volquartsen Competition Bolt provides another Volquartsen component to consider for a compatible Ruger project.
Working on a newer MK IV instead? Choose a generation-correct package such as the Volquartsen MK IV Competition Kit with Black Target Trigger, Stainless Target Trigger, or Gold Target Trigger. Those are distinct MK IV products, not substitutes to install in an MK II or MK III. Pete's Pillars is an authorized Volquartsen dealer, and we carry genuine Volquartsen upgrades for both classic and current Ruger rimfire platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stainless configuration, MK II/MK III fitment, kit contents, and authorized-dealer support.
What does the Volquartsen MK II/MK III Competition Kit include?
This package combines Volquartsen’s MK II/MK III Accurizing Kit, Bolt Tune-Up Kit, and CNC-machined disconnector. This configuration features the Stainless Target Trigger and a silver finish. It brings Volquartsen’s key trigger and bolt components together in a single kit.
What is the trigger pull weight?
Volquartsen designs the Target Trigger-based kit to produce a crisp, clean 2.25 lb trigger pull. The actual feel depends on the individual pistol and proper installation, but the advertised 2.25 lb specification comes directly from Volquartsen.
Does this kit fit a Ruger MK II, MK III, or 22/45?
Yes. This is Volquartsen’s kit for the Ruger MK II and MK III families, including target-style and compatible 22/45 frames. It is not the MK IV-specific Accurizing Kit. Match your exact pistol generation before ordering.
Is this the stainless trigger or the black trigger version?
This is the Stainless Target Trigger configuration with Volquartsen’s silver finish. Shooters choosing between versions can select their preferred finish without changing the core MK II/MK III competition-kit purpose.
Why buy the Competition Kit instead of only the Accurizing Kit?
The Competition Kit includes the Accurizing Kit plus Volquartsen’s Bolt Tune-Up Kit and CNC-machined disconnector. It is a coordinated package for shooters who want the trigger and bolt components addressed together rather than ordering the pieces separately.
Does this kit fit a Ruger MK IV pistol?
No. This particular kit is made for MK II, MK III, and applicable 22/45 pistols. Volquartsen offers separate MK IV Competition Kits for newer-generation pistols. The generations should not be treated as interchangeable.
Is Pete's Pillars an authorized Volquartsen dealer?
Yes. Pete's Pillars is an authorized Volquartsen dealer supplying genuine Volquartsen products. We carry selected competition parts for Ruger rimfire pistols and can help customers confirm they're viewing the correct product family.
