For competitive shooters, precision enthusiasts, and discerning plinkers, the quest for the ultimate rimfire pistol often leads to high-performance components designed to push the boundaries of accuracy and handling. The Volquartsen LLV Barreled Receiver stands as a pinnacle in this pursuit. This isn't merely an incremental upgrade; it's a complete reimagining of what a lightweight, accurate .22 LR pistol can achieve. Engineered for individuals who demand unparalleled performance from their firearm, the LLV provides the foundational precision needed to dominate the steel challenge, achieve tighter groups on the target range, or simply enjoy the pinnacle of rimfire shooting. Whether your goal is building a custom competition pistol from the ground up or seeking to elevate your existing platform beyond its factory limitations, the LLV is meticulously crafted to transform your shooting experience. This premium component is available at DEGuns.com, where true accuracy begins.

The Pursuit of Perfection: Why the LLV Stands Apart

Many factory rimfire pistols, while inherently enjoyable, frequently fall short when it comes to repeatable precision, optimal balance, and long-term durability under strenuous use. Common challenges include inconsistent lock-up between components, barrel designs that are either too heavy or too flexible, or a lack of robust, integrated optics mounting solutions. The Volquartsen LLV Barreled Receiver directly addresses these prevalent issues, presenting a comprehensive solution for shooters seeking a significant performance advantage.

It solves the problem of inherent accuracy limitations by providing a meticulously crafted, one-piece receiver and barrel shroud. This monolithic design ensures perfect alignment and eliminates any potential for flex that could compromise shot placement. The integral Picatinny rail, machined directly into the receiver, eradicates the need for aftermarket mounts that can shift or lose zero, providing an unyielding foundation for your aiming solution. Furthermore, the barrel, carefully contoured to shed weight without sacrificing stiffness, dramatically improves the pistol's balance and reduces shooter fatigue during extended firing sessions. For shooters aiming to shave crucial milliseconds off their split times in Steel Challenge or achieve sub-inch groups at 25 yards, the LLV provides a critical, undeniable advantage, making it the definitive choice for unlocking a rimfire pistol's full potential. The redesigned LLV builds upon Volquartsen’s already stellar reputation, making a great design even better with enhanced balance, greater versatility, and demonstrably superior accuracy, setting a new benchmark for rimfire performance.

Engineering Excellence: Core Features and Their Impact

The Volquartsen LLV Barreled Receiver is a testament to precision engineering, with each feature designed to contribute to an unparalleled shooting experience.

Monolithic Foundation: CNC Machined Billet Receiver & Shroud

The cornerstone of the LLV’s exceptional performance is its hard anodized, CNC machined billet receiver and barrel shroud. Unlike multi-piece designs that can introduce subtle misalignments or flex points, the LLV’s receiver and barrel shroud are precision machined as one seamless piece from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy. This one-piece construction is paramount for achieving superior rigidity, perfect barrel-to-receiver concentricity, and enhanced overall structural integrity. The result is a rock-solid foundation that eliminates any potential for movement, directly translating into significantly improved accuracy and unwavering reliability. The Type III hard anodized black finish is not merely aesthetic; it provides an exceptionally durable surface that is highly resistant to wear, abrasion, and corrosion, ensuring your LLV maintains its pristine appearance and functional integrity even after years of demanding use in competitive environments or harsh outdoor conditions.

The Heart of Accuracy: Precision Stainless Steel Barrel

Accuracy in any firearm begins with the barrel, and the Volquartsen LLV excels in this regard. It is fitted with either a 4.5" or 6" precision stainless steel barrel that undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process. The barrel is machine honed and then lapped, a painstaking procedure reserved for the highest quality precision barrels. Honing ensures a smooth, consistent bore diameter along its entire length, minimizing friction and optimizing bullet stability as it travels down the bore. Lapping further refines the bore surface, removing any microscopic imperfections or tool marks that could degrade accuracy or cause inconsistent bullet flight. This meticulous attention to bore quality ensures unparalleled consistency, leading to tighter groups and more predictable shot placement. The choice between a 4.5-inch or 6-inch barrel length offers versatility, allowing shooters to select the optimal configuration for their specific needs, whether prioritizing maneuverability for speed events or maximizing sight radius and muzzle velocity for precision shooting.

Optimized Weight & Balance for Dynamic Performance

The LLV’s barrel is intelligently contoured to reduce weight without sacrificing crucial accuracy or stiffness. This isn't just about making the pistol lighter; it's about achieving an optimal balance point that enhances handling and reduces shooter fatigue. The precision contouring removes unnecessary mass from the barrel, strategically distributing the remaining weight to create a nimble and responsive firearm. The incredibly lightweight 13oz base weight of the LLV barreled receiver makes it one of the lightest high-performance options available on the market. In competitive shooting disciplines, this reduced muzzle weight significantly improves the ability to transition quickly between targets, allowing for faster acquisition and more stable holds during rapid-fire stages. For any shooter, the improved balance means extended shooting sessions are more comfortable and less tiring, leading to more consistent performance.

Integrated Optics Platform: The Picatinny Rail

A standout feature of the Volquartsen LLV is the integral Picatinny rail seamlessly machined into the top of the receiver. This integrated design is a significant advantage over external, bolted-on scope rails, which can introduce points of flex or potential misalignment. With the LLV’s integral rail, your optic is mounted directly and securely to the firearm’s most critical component, ensuring absolute stability and unparalleled zero retention. Shooters can confidently mount their preferred red dot sights, holographic sights, or compact magnified optics, knowing that their aiming solution is locked in place and will provide repeatable performance shot after shot. This robust optics platform is crucial for competitive shooters who rely on their sights for split-second target acquisition and absolute precision.

Durability Where It Counts: Stainless Steel Breech Face

The breech face is a high-impact area within any firearm, constantly subjected to the intense forces of cartridge ignition, extraction, and repeated cycling. Recognizing this, Volquartsen has equipped the LLV Competition Upper with a robust stainless steel breech face. This component is specifically designed to withstand years of continuous, high-volume use, whether in rigorous practice sessions or demanding competitive matches. The inherent strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel ensure exceptional longevity and consistent performance, preventing wear and tear that could otherwise lead to feeding or extraction issues over time. This critical detail contributes significantly to the overall reliability and smooth operation of your rimfire pistol, offering peace of mind even after tens of thousands of rounds.

Versatile Muzzle Configuration: 1/2 × 28 Threads with Thread Protector

The standard configuration on the LLV comes with 1/2 × 28 muzzle threads, accompanied by a durable thread protector. This highly common thread pitch is the industry standard for .22 LR suppressors and a wide array of muzzle devices, opening up a world of customization possibilities for the discerning shooter. Easily attach your favorite sound moderator for quieter plinking sessions, reduced noise pollution during range training, or for discrete pest control. Alternatively, a compensator can be added to further mitigate muzzle rise, allowing for faster and more precise follow-up shots in rapid-fire scenarios. The included thread protector safeguards these precision threads when no device is attached, ensuring their integrity and allowing for hassle-free attachment of accessories whenever desired.

Unlocking Performance: Real-World Applications & Benefits

The Volquartsen LLV Barreled Receiver is more than just a component; it's an investment in superior shooting performance across various disciplines.
