Volquartsen got behind in production and let their customers run out of sears. They've claimed their producing more but as of this time, there are none available.

VQ sear availability

I just purchased one at cheap gun parts.com. They are a few bucks more than at Midway but they had them in stock. Also I had to return it to VQ because I suspected it was causing malfunctions and they sent me a replacement from their stock. I am not sure if they sell them from their website or only through dealers but you could check their site as well.

I got mine from cheapgunparts.com as well. No problems.

I just got one from Rimfire Sport and Custom (rimfiresports.com) for $19.95 (shipping included). The item was originally backordered. Every place was out when I first looked.

I just bought two directly from VQ. They cost a little more, but no waiting. At my age I don't buy green bananas.

I too ordered a Volquartsen Sear right from Volquartsen a couple weeks ago. If I remember right it was $22.00 plus $9.95 shipping.

This is the second Volquartsen Sear I have installed in a Ruger MKIII. One was a MKIII Hunter for a buddy and the second was in my Ruger MKIII 22/45. The trigger pull ended up super crisp and smooth at 1 1/2 pounds in both of these Rugers with no other modifications.

is there any aspect of the VQ-sear that makes it different from
the standard (default) Ruger-sear, other than precision-machining ?

I've examined them, side by side, and have not "seen anything".
but then... an examination with my old-bi-focaled-eyes doesn't
speak for much... thanks, --toy

The VQ sears are a little bit shorter in their overall length, which reduces the mainsping tension a slight bit, and a degree to a degree and a half less engagement angle. Those two factors bring down the overall trigger weight to around two pounds. Most people with their naked eyes cannot detect a change of a degree or two in engagement which is one reason why free-hand stoning of these surfaces is not a good idea.

BE: thanks for the details.
now that I know what to "look for"...

and, yes, I can easily detect a "degree or so...",

In all fairness I did say, "Most people." I guess I just wasn't figuring on a keen eyed Texan who gazes at the stars for fun.

A degree is not much only about .015 ina n inch, but it really builds up on the way out ther. When you hold the rifle and shoot one in groups, that is only one minute of angle, sure ain't much off at the end of the bzrrel. Tex, keep an eye on the skies and if they start falling, send an alert to us Michigan flatlanders, Ya'all do that please.
