Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor for 10/22 and 22/45

The Volquartsen Exact Edge Extractor is a precision replacement extractor built for the Ruger MKII, MKIII, Mk IV, and 22/45 pistols as well as the 10/22 and 10/22 Magnum rifles (Volquartsen part no. VC10EE). Rimfire extractors take a beating over thousands of rounds, and Volquartsen addresses that head-on with a wire EDM manufacturing process that produces a hook edge no stamped or titanium extractor can match. It’s a straightforward, affordable upgrade for shooters chasing more reliable extraction on a working 10/22 or MKII-platform pistol used for plinking, small-game hunting, or competition.

Key Specifications

• Manufactured by wire EDM cutting for a hook edge that holds tolerances other production methods cannot match.
• Hardened to Rc 58-60, so the hook resists rolling over under impact the way stamped steel or titanium extractors do over time.
• Held to a tolerance of +/-.0001 inch during manufacturing for consistent, repeatable extraction.
• Hook geometry sits .005 inch closer to the case rim than a factory extractor for a more positive grip on the cartridge.
• Machined from A2 tool steel for long-term durability under repeated cycling.
• Features a machined chamfer on the bottom edge that improves feeding by preventing the extractor from catching the next round as it rises from the magazine.
