Whether you’re a competitive shooter striving for a decisive edge, a precision enthusiast building a dream firearm, or a dedicated plinker seeking the ultimate in accuracy and reliability, the Volquartsen LLV, available at DEGuns, offers a transformative solution.

The journey to superior rimfire performance begins with the right core component. For many, questions arise: "What's the best .22LR setup for competitive shooting?", "How can I drastically improve the accuracy of my rimfire rifle or pistol?", or "What are the key components for a lightweight, high-performance .22LR build?" The Volquartsen LLV Barreled Receiver is engineered to directly answer these critical inquiries, providing a robust, lightweight, and incredibly precise starting point.

The Evolution of Precision: Redesigned for Unparalleled Performance

The original Volquartsen LLV design set a high bar, but the latest iteration represents a complete reimagining, building upon a legacy of excellence. This redesign wasn't about minor tweaks; it was a holistic approach focused on enhancing every aspect of the shooting experience. The result is a barreled receiver that offers superior balance, remarkable versatility, and, most notably, an even higher degree of accuracy. This continuous pursuit of perfection ensures that every Volquartsen LLV barreled receiver pushes the boundaries of rimfire capability.

Unwavering Foundation: CNC Machined Billet Receiver and Integral Shroud

At the core of the LLV's exceptional performance is its meticulously crafted receiver. Unlike many designs that involve separate components bolted together, the Volquartsen LLV features a hard anodized CNC machined billet receiver that seamlessly integrates with the barrel shroud. Both are precision machined as one monolithic piece from high-grade aluminum alloy. This integral, one-piece construction is paramount to its inherent accuracy and rigidity. By eliminating potential points of flex or misalignment, this design ensures a rock-solid platform that consistently delivers precise shot placement, even under rapid fire or dynamic shooting scenarios. This robust construction also contributes significantly to the long-term durability of the unit, making it a reliable investment for years of demanding use. The black finish is not just aesthetic; it's a Type III hard anodized coating, providing superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and wear, ensuring the unit maintains its integrity and appearance even in challenging environments.

Optics Ready: Integrated Picatinny Rail for Secure Mounting

A crucial element for modern shooting is the ability to securely mount optics. The Volquartsen LLV addresses this need with an integral Picatinny rail machined directly into the top of the receiver. This isn't an afterthought; it's an intrinsic part of the receiver's structure, guaranteeing an uncompromisingly stable and perfectly aligned mounting surface for your red dot sight, magnified scope, or other aiming devices. Shooters often ask, "How do I ensure my optics stay zeroed?" The LLV's integral rail eliminates concerns about wobbly mounts or shifting zero, providing maximum confidence in your sight picture and shot consistency. This robust platform facilitates optimal sight alignment and allows for quick, precise zeroing, which is absolutely critical for competitive shooters and anyone aiming for pinpoint accuracy.

The Heart of Accuracy: Precision Stainless Steel Barrel

The accuracy of any firearm is fundamentally tied to its barrel, and the Volquartsen LLV spares no expense in this regard. Each barreled receiver is fitted with a precision stainless steel barrel, available in either a 4.5" or 6" length, catering to various shooting preferences and disciplines. The manufacturing process for these barrels is a testament to Volquartsen's dedication to precision:

• Machine Honed: This process refines the bore's internal surface to an incredibly smooth finish, removing microscopic imperfections that could impede bullet flight or consistency.
• Lapped: Beyond honing, the barrels are further lapped, a meticulous process that polishes the bore to an ultra-uniform internal diameter. This ensures minimal friction and consistent bullet travel, which directly translates to tighter groups downrange.

This rigorous attention to the bore is what provides the foundation for match-grade accuracy, minimizing bullet deformation and maximizing velocity consistency shot after shot. Furthermore, the barrel has been expertly contoured to reduce weight without sacrificing rigidity or accuracy. This thoughtful design contributes significantly to the LLV's overall lightweight profile, making the assembled firearm exceptionally agile and comfortable for extended shooting sessions, whether in competition or during a day at the range.

Built for Endurance: Stainless Steel Breech Face

Reliability and longevity are paramount, especially for high-volume shooters. The LLV Competition Upper features a durable stainless steel breech face. This critical component is engineered to withstand the repeated impact and wear of thousands upon thousands of rounds. Unlike softer materials, stainless steel resists erosion, minimizes wear, and maintains precise chamber dimensions, ensuring consistent feeding, extraction, and ignition even under rigorous use. For shooters wondering, "How do I get a .22LR that holds up to heavy use?", the LLV's stainless steel breech face provides a clear answer, ensuring reliable performance season after season.

Versatility Unleashed: Muzzle Threads for Customization

The standard configuration on the LLV comes with 1/2 × 28 muzzle threads, accompanied by a thread protector. This feature significantly enhances the versatility of the barreled receiver, allowing users to easily attach a wide array of muzzle devices. Whether you wish to incorporate a compensator for reduced muzzle rise, a flash hider for low-light conditions, or, most commonly, a suppressor for a quieter shooting experience, the LLV is ready to accommodate. For those considering, "Can I easily add a suppressor to my .22LR?", the LLV's threaded muzzle provides a seamless, out-of-the-box solution, making it ideal for discreet hunting or noise-sensitive shooting environments.

Featherlight Agility: Optimized Weight for Performance

With a base weight of approximately 13 ounces (specific weight may vary slightly depending on the chosen barrel length), the Volquartsen LLV barreled receiver is purposefully engineered for lightweight performance. This low mass is a game-changer, contributing significantly to the overall balance and maneuverability of the assembled firearm. It translates into faster target transitions in competitive scenarios, reduced shooter fatigue during extended practice sessions, and an overall more enjoyable shooting experience. This agility is a distinct advantage in dynamic shooting sports and enhances the enjoyment of casual plinking sessions, allowing for more precise and comfortable shooting.
