Any of you have the 10/22 takedown? I am thinking of buying one.

The volquartsen exact edge extractor is a great upgrade.

A quick follow-up to my above post. Verdict: very positive.

It took maybe 10 minutes to install the Volquartsen extractor. I only ran a couple magazines through but experienced no stovepipes, very nice results so far. (This on top of the fact that I hadn't cleaned the 10/22 for a while, so even dirty it cycled just fine. The stovepipes occurred every previous range trip, clean rifle or not.)

Big improvement for me, just too bad it seems to be such a necessary upgrade.

It looks like all of the internals on the standard 10/22 vs the takedown are the same. Is this the same for the extractor? That is, did you order the std volquartsen extractor for the takedown?

I didn't see any separate part numbers or anything, but since it didn't specifically state that it was compatible with the takedown, I wanted to confirm.

Additionally, what do you think about the mag release on it? My current 10/22s are all the older models with the flush mag release. I had planned on ordering one of the extended releases (like the tactical innovations style that extends under the trigger guard) for 1-2 of them and had considered one for the takedown as well. Since I've never had the opportunity to play with the newer style release though, I was going to wait until I had it in hand.

Since I'm now on day 11 of the waiting game, I'm starting to get impatient. So, mag release on the takedown: decent or just barely less clumsy than the original flush style?
