When they first came out, I bought I Volquartsen Carbon Fiber (16") and a Hogue over-molded stock. Put in a VQ hammer; fooled with the trigger return; put in a buffer and a over-travel stop and added an oversize safety. It's a very light 10-22 with a fairly crisp 1 3/4 lb trigger.

I've put 10s of 1000s of rounds thru it. It's my "Gopher" gun --strickly shot out of my truck. I'd build the same thing again. It's worked very well. I've NEVER cleaned the barrel, as VQ instructed at that time.

I recently checked out the "custom" 10-22 makers; wondering if they had something better. At least for my use; they don't.
