that was me that tried the Fab Defense G-Shock , I had one on my Stag10 and I made it very soft.
I also epoxy'd a Tapco recoil Pad to the existing one and it is by far the softest 12ga I ever shot.
Thanks again. Never heard of those things before.

I've ran one on my vr80, worked fine on it. No modifications needed. Dunno if it's more or less reliable than a stick mag, didn't test it that much.

Thumbs up to whoever had the Fab defense gl-shock buttstock on their vr80. I put that on, along with all the taccom stuff (compensator, buffer, spring) and its turned into the softest shooting 12 gauge I've ever fired.
I wasn't sure if I'd have enough fun with it to warrant getting that tooth n nail trigger but think I'm gonna budget for one of those now. Really liking it all put together.

I'm trying to be frugal for now, has anybody tried to trim off the extension between the stock and the grip?
Any issues with doing so?
Might have to sand the grip a bit, otherwise it's fine.

Is it possible that with the lead on the piston and gas block, plus with the retaining nut loosening up, that the bolt didn't fully go forward, thus the misfire and the lack of the primer being touched? Other ideas as to what happened? I've never had a firearm work for 50 or so rounds and then just go "click."
Thanks
Yeah, it's possible that's the issue.
The bolt carrier or whatever you want to call it, part 44 according to the instruction manual, is what the gas piston bits push on to cycle the gun. The bolt carrier thing also blocks the firing pin from being struck when its out of battery.
So if your gas port was full of lead and preventing the gas piston from seating all the way then that could also stop the bolt carrier from going all the way forward and the hammer would strike the carrier rather than the firing pin.
Could be other things too, some bit of crud stuck in the bolt and locking the firing pin solid or a canted / messed up bolt release but given the current known issue of lead fouling of the gas port and piston, I'd just start with that.

That was another great tip and I'm glad I did that. I could already feel it was going to rub and was thinking about removing it but rotating was easier.
When I first fired it, I only had some reduced recoil 00 buck and it was single shot for about the first two magazines but whatever happened after that it worked well. Dumped a few more magazines with no malfunctions. Guess it needed a little heat and some carbon.
