Description

If your thumb gets tired releasing the bolt on your Mark II or III repeatedly during a range day, this upgrade is a game-changer. Volquartsen's extended bolt release gives you a full half-inch of serrated surface to work with, compared to the cramped factory design. You get way more control and a better grip angle every time you lock the bolt back or quick-clear the pistol.

Installation and Compatibility

Replacing the factory part takes just minutes with basic disassembly. The silver finish matches stainless steel pistols perfectly and won't look out of place on any Mark II or III. Just note it won't fit the 22/45 models, so double-check your gun before ordering. The part ships ready to go with no additional tools or modifications needed.

Real-World Performance

Once it's in, you'll immediately feel the difference. The extended lever gives you a proper resting spot for your thumb instead of hunting for the tiny factory button. People who shoot pistol matches or spend hours at the range report their thumbs aren't sore anymore from repeatedly releasing the bolt. It also works great as a thumb rest during aim shooting, so you get double duty from this part. The serrated face keeps your thumb from slipping even with a light grip or wet hands.

Build Quality

Volquartsen machines these from stainless steel to match the durability of your pistol. The fit is tight with minimal play compared to factory parts, and the finish is consistent across the serrations. It's a straightforward upgrade that works well with target grips, wood grips, or whatever setup you're running on your Mark.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bolt release work with my 22/45 pistol?

No. This extended bolt release is designed specifically for the Ruger Mark II and Mark III standard frame pistols and won't fit the 22/45 models. Make sure you have a standard Mark II or III before ordering.

How difficult is the installation?

It's straightforward if you're comfortable doing basic pistol disassembly. You remove the grips, tap out one pin, swap the old release for the new one, and tap the pin back in. Most people can handle it in 15-20 minutes, though gunsmithing videos on YouTube are recommended before you start.

Does the silver finish match my stainless steel Mark?

Yes. The silver stainless steel finish matches stainless Mark II and Mark III pistols very well. If you have a blued gun, you'll probably want the black version instead.

Will this make my Mark feel bulkier in a holster?

It's slightly larger than the factory release, so some people with tight-fitting holsters notice the difference. For target shooting and range use it's no problem at all. If you carry in a holster daily, test the fit before fully committing.
