AmarokTactical Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I've been working on a speed loader for these VR80 magazines as well. The 9 rounders are hard enough when they get full, I can't imagine loading a 19 rounder without one of these! If you're having trouble loading your mags, I also explain a little technique for loading shells in this video that should help everyone with these mags.

AmarokTactical Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Lets talk lube and polishing for this shotgun. What and where are you guys using for lube in the VR80 and have you polished any areas for reliability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gas system stays dry, lube the bolt/carrier. Thats about it Edited March 29, 2019 by IntenseImage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC U12+ using Tapatalk You can just unscrew the comp and change the choke out. Ontop of that why would you ever need anything other than modified?

IntenseImage Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Day 1 of testing the new Taccom, LLC buffer complete. I do notice a slight difference in felt recoil towards the end of the bolts rearward travel. If I didn't have the comp and recoil pad it would probably be more noticeable. It did cut even more muzzle rise and mine didn't have a lot to begin with!Side note ... I am going to try a different comp. Patterning confirmed a much larger pattern with the long comp vs no comp.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntenseImage Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 So a few weeks ago at the all shotgun match we attended, I had some issues dropping steel. A few people noted how wide my pattern was with a LM choke in. At that time, I didn't have a chance to pattern the gun. Today I found time and the story is pretty telling.Remington Gun Club: 1-1/8oz, 7.5 shot, 1200 fps Test was done with the factory MOD choke instead of the LM I ran at the match ...Outer circle on paper is the pattern with the comp installedThe cutout circle laid on top is simply the comp removedAnd for comparison my wife's 21" Beretta 1301 Comp with a LM choke (same ammo and distance)Needless to say, while I love how well the long comp works, I'm taking some tools and the factory barrel shroud to the match with us tomorrow and I'll be testing other comp options soon.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk How far were both those patterns, if it's like 20 yards, it's hard for me to imagine that a few pellets outside that circle wouldnt knock a steel down. Also what other comp options are you checking into? The thread size is so specific that not much else on the market will fit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kinda did a "yea this is about the distance we shoot a Texas Star from ... ". Did that knowing full well how the 1301 does with just a LM choke so we could see what it took to match the pattern. When looking at the dense part of the pattern the no comp was about 2x as dense. That makes a big difference.

Bentsight Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Given the great difficulty in finding another comp, would it be an option to simply run a mod vs lm choke and still take advantage of the recoil reduction the RIA comp provides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyGlock Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Does a comp change the pattern vs a no comp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
