CCI is without question the bright and shinning star among the big ammo companies. They offer new innovative quality products not just renamed "new and improved" sales gimmicks! CCI also almost single handedly brought us out of the .22 shortage making more .22 than the hoarders could buy!
Shout out to Magazine Warehouse! I've purchased several handgun mags for cheaper than in store from them. I can't believe how quiet that setup is. It truly is the ultimate quiet shooter. Great video.
love the .22lr. great caliber for small game and great for fox whistling.. normally I use winchester superspeed 37.8g copper plate hollowpoints st 1260fps
I built a 10/22 with a titan stock, firefly bolt, Volquartsen trigger group, cvlife 6-24x50mm, Volquartsen buffer and a 50 rd drum. It shoots pretty nice, definitely want a regular 10/22 for my 3k rds of regular 22 though. It's seriously worth it
My 10/22 take down shoots cci quiet with just a nylon bolt buffer and a volquartsen extractor , cycles evertime. Can even alternate standard and quiet in the mag, still works.
I changed the buffer on my take down when they came out, and it'll shoot the cci quiet no problem. Ive even mixed loads in the mag and it still works 90% of the time
Old tubefed semi autos that can cycle shorts will cycle these. My old Springfield 187m runs them flawlessly. But it's pretty sweet they came out with this for the ruger.
I would hate to know how much $ I have in my .22...I'm not rich, but I have a sick shooting 10/22 that will cycle subsonic ammo. If I were rich I would have a better optic for it.
For all the people asking if it will shoot this round or that round safely. He said in the video if it is under 1000 fps it will be fine... If you don't know what fps the round is google is your friend...
I just bought the Firefly bolt tonight for my 10/22. I have built my 10/22 to shoot only Subsonic ammo. I have my 10/22 suppressed and it is so quiet all you hear when you shoot it is a click. It is quieter than a Red Ryder BB gun. The only problem I have had is the gun won't cycle. Well tonight I just changed that. Setting a 10/22 up to shoot subsonic ammo only is the ultimate varmint rifle. My friends are amazed at how quiet my setup is. I have a lot of money invested in my rifle. I have changed basically everything on the gun. For a backyard varmint rifle this is the ultimate setup. I bought a green led light so I can shoot at night. Foxes, squirrels, raccoons and possums don't stand a chance.
Nice. But the Sig 522 will cycle CCI Quiet right out of the box. At least mine does. That rifle you are using looks to have a 16 inch barrel, with the Quiets the longer the barrel the quieter they get. Out of a CZ Ultra Lux with 28 inch barrel they are really quiet. I do like the idea of this bolt though, double taps on squirrels come to mind.
Just got into target shooting with my brand new Ruger 10/22 Carbine. I'm already a huge fan of your channel, Mr. 22 Plinkster, and I'm learning a lot about this whole community I had no idea I didn't know! Can anybody tell me what kind of scope he is using? I recently purchased a TruShot TruGlo 2x7-32 rimfire scope and I haven't equipped it yet, I'm still unsure bc I want to be able to use both the scope and the iron sights....anyway, thank you for your support and consideration if you have read this far!
Like someone else said, why not just swap recoil springs to a Kidd spring? I've got one that cycles subs and supers no problem with the stock bolt. Much cheaper and more versatile in my opinion.
How has your bolt held up? I bought one for my daughter to teach her to shoot so she would be afraid of the sound. I made her an ultralight pink 10/22 with a fluted tactical solutions barrel and after three or fours shoots of cci quit it locked up. On disassembly the metal insert that is pressed into the bottom of the bolt had fallen off. I'm waiting to hear from volquartsen on getting it shipped in and fixed. Looks like it should have been put in with a set screw instead of spiked in
mark oshields, I sent it back and they re staked it. I read in another forum and found a guy in Baton Rouge that had the same problem with his. On his they machined his a bit and held the steel insert piece in by reset screws. I wish they had repaired mine that way seems like a more legitimate fix. It’s got a couple hundred rounds though it and seems to be holding up. If it fails again I’ll pay a machinist to fix it with screws.
I think this might be the solution I've been looking for. I might get one of these just so I don't have to replace my unthreaded barrel AND get a suppressor.
Awesome review as always! Big fan here! Just out of curiosity, any chance you might do reviews for the S&W/Performance Center M&P 15-22 and the Ruger American Rimfire Target model in the future?
TheParone I'm talking about shooting it without a suppressor. It should be very quiet with one, but without one, it is somewhat loud, at least from a short barrel. However, from a rifle length barrel, it is very quiet, even with no suppressor.
All bolts need to be locked open before inserting the GSG 110 rd drum. They state this in the directions, & i had to learn the hard way. It will damage the magazine.
Had issues trying to perfect a 9 twist 1022 to shoot Aquila 60 gr. ...Total custom massaged rig on a Zimmerman arms action polished bolt, trigger, chamber and the works of everything I could do to it, but sooner or later the stovepipe jam popped up with that short case..After changing springs and getting the bolt to slow to get it just right for 6" barrel with suppressor with that strange case with giant slug I saw this bolt for subs and shorts so thought I'd try it to see if I could get more consistent feeds and extracs...Bottom line it doesn't work for 60 gr slug Aquila ammo so forget about this theory its for sub sonic ammo as this round is 950 fps and wreaks havoc on this firefly bolt...What it did do is cause my bolt to slam back at such a high speed the trigger sear could not re-engage the disconnector for the next shot as it caused my trigger to violently bounce the hammer off the sear and never re-set..In fact I got a full auto fire of 3 rounds once because of the violent recoil of this 3 times lighter in weight firefly bolt no matter what spring was used..Also the suppressed rig was as loud as without suppressed because the case ejected before the bullet exited the muzzle..One positive was the extractor is excellent and a super nice design which I wish could be used on all bolts as it threw cases out of the port super nice and fast never failing to extract once,,,I have a nice aluminum paper weight now for $185≥..
Try this....download a Decibel App on your phone then test. That will really tell you the difference between the two you can sink your teeth into. Love your videos!!
In Australia, the closest thing that Sporting Shooters can have to semi auto 10/22 is a Ruger Charger on a Handgun Licence. Would the Volquartsen FireFly Bolt work in a Charger using CCI Quiets?
I have the Firefly bolt in my 10/22 as well. DO NOT shoot ammo faster than 1000fps. I accidentally shot some Federal that was ~1200fps & my rifle went full auto. Luckily it was only 10 rounds & I do not believe I did any damage to my rifle.
CCI CB Longs are quieter than CCI's Quiet and CB Shorts ( I know hard to believe but try them if you can find them). Will this also cycle CCI CB Longs? I believe they're @10FPS slower.
22plinkster - Bravo!! - I have the Magnum Research rifle in the 17Mach2 (like the $550 one from years back). Obviously had to go to 22LR due to issues with the 17M2... I opted for the Tac-Sol fluted barrel with end cap for suppressor. I have fired the CCI-Quiet in the stock gun but, as expected, it doesn't cycle it well. I've been thinking of getting the Fire Fly bolt and this video set that in motion. hahaha. Thanks man!
I'am curious if the "Firefly bolt" will cycle the Aguila Super Calibri round?. Supposedly the Super Calibri has more primer compound than the standard Calibri round.
Good video but I hate those CCI quiet, they are too underpowered, I use CCI standard for silencer but my favourite are hight velocity so no need of silencer
@@justinbellio2285 no, you were asleep between 2:51 and 3:17. There is no free lunch. If you lighten the mass of a slide or bolt and or buffer spring to cycle lighter power loads, it will be battered by shooting full power. Hence, I would rather have my 10/22 set up with the factory bolt and cycle the light stuff by hand.
I keep thinking "Hickock" is going to yell at you to get out of his yard!
Ha,ha,ha. As long as he's not smokin Mr Hickock's pot!

james smith I mean it's pretty good but lapua is pretty damn good too if you want some fairly accurate 22
I use CCI in my .17 and my dad has always used cci in his .22 never had a jam. Ever. Atleast on my end.
I saw you on a cover of a magazine yesterday... Congrats buddy!!!
Shout out to Magazine Warehouse! I've purchased several handgun mags for cheaper than in store from them.
I can't believe how quiet that setup is. It truly is the ultimate quiet shooter. Great video.
that is sweet! with the suppressor you mainly hear just the bolt cycling. nice vid.
love the .22lr. great caliber for small game and great for fox whistling.. normally I use winchester superspeed 37.8g copper plate hollowpoints st 1260fps
Volquartsen makes me want to build out a 10/22 and mk4. So cool!
I built a 10/22 with a titan stock, firefly bolt, Volquartsen trigger group, cvlife 6-24x50mm, Volquartsen buffer and a 50 rd drum. It shoots pretty nice, definitely want a regular 10/22 for my 3k rds of regular 22 though. It's seriously worth it

I installed the Firefly on my 10/22 and it does exactly what it says it does. Cycles CCI and Aquilla flawlessly. It was worth the money in my opinion.
That bolt costs more than I paid for the who rifle,,,but I guess your rich
I would hate to know how much $ I have in my .22...I'm not rich, but I have a sick shooting 10/22 that will cycle subsonic ammo. If I were rich I would have a better optic for it.
Zax,,,boys got to have their toys,,,my passion is old John Deere lawn tractors,,,I cant tell you how much I have vested in my raceing tractor!
This is a product to consider if a suppressor is not legal in your state because it's not legal in mine.
Get out of your communist state
Oil filters bruh

I have an old JC Higgins model 29 , cycles quiets no failure .
I have a Browning sa22 and it cycles the original CCI Quiets like it was made for them
That's a SWEET setup!
That drum mag makes me smile
Not super excited about the bolt but I'm really digging that stock.
The cci quiet cycles reliably in my browning sa 22 takedown. I love this ammo and find it very reliable and quiet.
how come youtube suggests the DOPEST videos at 2am
and all day long I get a million suggestions for popular videos that barely fit my interests haha

The gevarm got around this problem by putting the mainspring guide either inside the bolt for high power or inside the stock for low power ammunition.
I just ordered the Gen 2 last night
Like someone else said, why not just swap recoil springs to a Kidd spring? I've got one that cycles subs and supers no problem with the stock bolt. Much cheaper and more versatile in my opinion.
Absolutely Beautiful setup, love the Rifle quite setup.
I have a Remington 550-1. It will cycle the cci quiets. I guess because it can shoot shorts,longs and LR.
Nice. I might try some of these quiets out of my single six.
They sound like a throw-snapper when fired out of my colt. Being a revolver they are still a bit rough on the ear closest to the cylinder gap.
Dang... But I also have a Ruger MK III and a Ruger SR22... I guess I should try them all.
Look into Aguila Colibri... you're welcome ;)
That magazine is sweet!
I’d like to try some CCI suppressor 45 grain with that bolt and a suppressor. Bet that wld be a nice combo
You should record how loud it is with the CCI quiet a can and your finger on the bolt so it wont cycle.
Just a thought, should've shot a non quiet round for sound comparison at the same distance from the mic on the same mic setup.
How has your bolt held up? I bought one for my daughter to teach her to shoot so she would be afraid of the sound. I made her an ultralight pink 10/22 with a fluted tactical solutions barrel and after three or fours shoots of cci quit it locked up. On disassembly the metal insert that is pressed into the bottom of the bolt had fallen off.

Thanks for showing this quite rifle. I will ask around to find where I can purchase my rifle.
FYI, for anyone looking for one they just reintroduced this! Get it while it’s hot!
Ive had no problems cycling this ammo in my stock 10/22 with suppressor mounted
I think this might be the solution I've been looking for. I might get one of these just so I don't have to replace my unthreaded barrel AND get a suppressor.
Sounds like a co2 powered airsoft gun with those modifications
it basically is though
@@asas-mb4wj not at all
@@2bitmarketanarchist337 that was a joke. but like what? 700 fps? thats approaching bb gun velocities,
@@asas-mb4wj yeah but it weighs way more
@@2bitmarketanarchist337 of course, but it still doesnt weigh a lot. Its going to be slightly more powerful then a 22 pellet gun. which is sad.
Awesome review as always! Big fan here!
Just out of curiosity, any chance you might do reviews for the S&W/Performance Center M&P 15-22 and the Ruger American Rimfire Target model in the future?
I wonder if this would work with the .22 long CB I don't think it would but it would be pretty cool
"I don't usually do product reviews, but this is a products review, of something that will shoot CCI quiet, which of course I did a review on" ;)
HIGH CALIBER don't be an asswipe
A few times isn't really "usually"
HIGH CALIBER it's a DEMO
Not a review
I don't usually do a product review, but when I do I post them on RUclips. Stay trigger happy my friends.

The Sniper Sub Sonic 60 grain stuff will cycle a 10/22 no problem with a standard bolt.
What is the best place to get all the aftermarket stuff one might want.? Charge handle, trigger, mag release...
i'm thinking how much better your shows could be with a camera and mic close to the targets. what do you other guys think?
Being this video is now 4 years old... how did the firefly bolt do over time? Heard it degrades rapidly....
What about aguila colibri? You should have had some with you to test, they are even less than quiet.
If you tilt it so its facing down and let gravity help it might cycle. Ive gotten .22 shorts to cycle
22plinkster still playing adds here
Damn, bummed I didn't buy one when they made them!
I want them to make a bolt for my Ruger 22/45 Lite to cycle the CCI quiet.
CCI Quiet is still fairly loud out of a handgun, by the way. It's more quiet than a normal 22lr, but it's only hearing safe from a rifle.
buy a stock spring and cut it down shoot it cut it in till it works just dont use reg ammo with the shorten spring.
TheParone
I'm talking about shooting it without a suppressor. It should be very quiet with one, but without one, it is somewhat loud, at least from a short barrel. However, from a rifle length barrel, it is very quiet, even with no suppressor.
I got a sparrow that I use on my 22/45 and a S&W victory it is super quiet with reg ammo. I never use hearing pro. with mine
Hey Plinkster, any way you can make a video with this Volquartson bolt and the Ruger Silent SR barrel? See how silent that set up is?
There is a new 2.0 version, can you review that one please ?
22plinkster What about the new 10\22 ISB!?
Hickocks next-door-neighbor? Nice set-up you have.
All bolts need to be locked open before inserting the GSG 110 rd drum. They state this in the directions, & i had to learn the hard way. It will damage the magazine.
Need to know how quiet that ammo and suppressor combo are on a bolt-action rifle! :)
Can you shoot regular 22LR ammo and will it still work without buggering it up.

bet FPS is diminished real bad, but I guess it would do ok for rats and such, and maybe accuracy is compromised a bit also.

In Australia, the closest thing that Sporting Shooters can have to semi auto 10/22 is a Ruger Charger on a Handgun Licence. Would the Volquartsen FireFly Bolt work in a Charger using CCI Quiets?
It should because I'm pretty sure the receiver/action is the same. I've got the first version of the charger.
On a rare occasion ive had some subs cycle but yea no they dont got the power to cycle as regylar velocity
I'm thinking of looking into getting a softer spring, I really believe that's all it would take to cycle a lower velocity round in a 10/22
Very nice video. Thanks!!
I polished the bolt and receiver on my buddy's 10/22, it cycles the subs perfectly fine, lol.
Tom Stewart these aren't subs these are cci quiet, like 300 fps slower
My gag fell apart after about 4 full mags, but it fed well
Would you please do another card splitting challenge
Did u try it with Aquila Colibri, which is only primer, no powder ???
I have the Firefly bolt in my 10/22 as well. DO NOT shoot ammo faster than 1000fps. I accidentally shot some Federal that was ~1200fps & my rifle went full auto. Luckily it was only 10 rounds & I do not believe I did any damage to my rifle.

CCI CB Longs are quieter than CCI's Quiet and CB Shorts ( I know hard to believe but try them if you can find them). Will this also cycle CCI CB Longs? I believe they're @10FPS slower.
Just change the recoil spring to a lighter one . I think mine is a a kidd spring.
I have the Kidd Lightweight spring in my rifle and it still won't cycle subsonic ammo.
CA legal?
all. 22s are legal in ca.. except sbr, supressed or full auto
Ha, funny seeing you here. Still building up the money to get a deck box from you at some point.

Probably because it cost dang near as much as a supressor, you could literally buy another 10/22 for $200 lol.
I'am curious if the "Firefly bolt" will cycle the Aguila Super Calibri round?. Supposedly the Super Calibri has more primer compound than the standard Calibri round.
Did you ever find out
can you make a review but of the cz455 varmint pls
In New Zealand we pay between $50 to $100 nz dollars all up for a 22 suppressor why do you guys pay so much for this bit of kit cheers.
Why can’t I shoot high velocity ammo with the firefly bolt? What’s the danger?
Good video but I hate those CCI quiet, they are too underpowered, I use CCI standard for silencer but my favourite are hight velocity so no need of silencer
Have you tried using a Linear Compensator with the CCI Quiet??
Can you share the build out for that nonstock rifle?
Magpul
Does anyone know, since the Firefly bolt is discontinued, will the new Volquartsen Firearms CNC-Machined Bolt cycle.22 Quiets reliably?
I would rather cycle the action for the quiet rounds and leave the rifle set up with the factory bolt for better versatility.
I think you misunderstood the volquartsen and can still fire full power rounds
@@justinbellio2285 no, you were asleep between 2:51 and 3:17. There is no free lunch.

That's what I was wondering... Good to know.
What is your favorite pistol
Plinkster can i ask have you done any fully automatic 22 videos?
Audio seems to be clipping with every word. Might want to adjust the gain settings on your microphone.
Could u do a lethal test or penetration test for the .22 quiet
Justin Nichols Done it. Watch my review on the Cci Segmented vs Cci Standard video.
Serious question:
Will this setup cycle Aguila Super Colibri (~590 fps) or Aguila Colibri (~420 fps)?
im a huge 10/22 fan, is your barrel suppressed, or is that "naked"?
Matt Beebe naked.
Can you fire regular ammo with that Firefly bolt??
When I first watched this video I instantly thought to myself i need to order this bolt now... But then i went to website and saw price.....
Swap out your charging handle spring
i have a volquartsen barrel can i have it adapted for a suppressor?
But will it cycle Aguila Colibri/Super Colibri or SSS ammo?
Will it still cycle standard rounds?
