MKIV safety

[pvreb]

Put a Volquartsen trigger into my Ruger MKIV last night. Volquartsen's instructions and a Youtube video both stress care with the detent on the safety. Well--after about the third time of redoing part of it because of previous mistakes, I dropped the safety and the detent and spring disappeared. Searching for "MKIV safety detent" yielded several possibilities for MKI,II,and III. I found no source for the MKIV part. Does anyone know if the MKIV uses the same part? Seems logical that it wouldn't have changed, but...?

There was lots of changes with the MKIV though. I can see why you are couscous. Can't you call Volquartsen and just ask them? Is a good start. They would know if they are the same or not.

Thanks. I emailed Volquartsen.

FWIW, I learned the MKIV part is plastic and the previous models used a metal detent. Found a source that lists the MKIV parts, but they are out of stock.

After a bit of digging, I am fairly sure the metal detent and spring for the previous models will work. The shipping was about the price of the parts (about $5). I'll know for sure in a few days.

Call Ruger and explain to them what happened, they might send you one.

FWIW the replacement parts I ordered (metal detent and spring from the earlier models) fit and work great.
