#At the 1993 SHOT Show I talked to the Volquartsen's (my most humble
#apologies to them if I have misspelled their name), and handled a Ruger Mk II
#in which they had installed their "accurizing Kit", which includes
#a new trigger, sear, hammer, and mainspring.  The retail cost
#for this kit is around $70.
#
#The trigger pull was the nicest I've ever felt.  You could just place
#your finger on the trigger, and mentally fire the gun as if it were linked
#directly to your brain.
#
#I had a nice discussion with Karen V., and she assured me that the kit
#was a pure drop in, no smithing would be required.  Anyone who could 
#take down the Mk II to that level could install it, although she says the 
#mainspring requires 3 hands to install.
#
#My limited experience with drop in kits for the 1911 is that everything
#will require at least a little fitting since each gun is slightly
#different, and the manufacturers of the drop in parts make them just
#slightly oversize, in the right places, to assure they will fit in all
#guns. 
#
#So, my question to the net is: have any of you ever tried this kit?
#What do you think?
#
#The Volquartsen's also make a compensator for the bull barrel Mk II's
#that screws in where the front sight would be.  It is well made, and 
#has an "O" ring to seal the comp against the barrel.  Karen says
#it essentially eliminates what muzzle jump there is, and also increases
#the sight radius.  I think it retails for around $40.
#
#
#I think CLARK makes a trigger kit also (or else you send in your 
#Mk II and they modify it).  It's supposed to be cheaper but also 
#quite good. Anyone tried it?

I have a Clark trigger in my MarkII.  It was installed by the resident 'smith
at the gun store I was working at.  The 'smith did no extra work on the action
after installing the trigger and, to me, it's perfect. A touch of take up, 2 lbs.
of pressure and bang!  Took me by surprise the first time as I wasn't expecting
it to fire that quickly.

I was thinking of getting that comp from Volquartsen's just to see what it does.
Seems like fun.

As a side note, there was a thread a while back about scope mounts for the 
MarkII.  If there was a summary published could someone forward it to me?
