Volquartsen Firearms · Pistol · In Production · 2021
Also known as: Mamba-TF, Black Mamba-TF
Overview
The Volquartsen Mamba-TF combines the features of the Volquartsen Scorpion .22 LR pistol with the push-button takedown functionality of the Ruger Mark IV standard aluminum frame. It uses the LLV Competition Upper with a stainless steel barrel, a laser-hardened stainless breech in an aluminum shroud, a DLC-coated competition bolt, and a factory-installed Volquartsen Accurizing Kit. The TG2000 trigger group delivers a 2.25 lb pull. The 'TF' designates the takedown aluminum frame, which provides the same tool-free disassembly as the Mark IV standard.
