The Volquartsen Automatic Bolt Release (brand part no. VC10BR-S-10) replaces the factory bolt lock on a Ruger 10/22, letting a shooter release the bolt by simply pulling it back slightly instead of pushing up on the factory bolt lock mechanism. It’s a drop-in installation finished in silver, a quick, low-effort upgrade for anyone who runs a 10/22 hard and wants a faster reload cycle. Volquartsen notes this bolt release is only compatible with Volquartsen and factory Ruger bolts and trigger guards, including the BX-Trigger, so confirm compatible parts before ordering.
