Never change the choke as it isn't needed - the difference in the comp vs non comp spread is as much variability as I need from chokes. What differences do you notice comp vs no comp? Do you have the long or short version? Edited July 26, 2019 by SQUIDload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt run no choke. I ran choke less for a few matches and I was hitting targets but not hitting them hard enough to knock them over. Also it destroys your threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyGlock Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) 10 hours ago, SQUIDload said: I read some old posts (correct me if I'm wrong or missing something). It sounds like you think the threads on the comp will wear and create misaligned comp and barrel. Sound right? anything else? Right. W/the greater pressure being redirected by a comp in a sg vs a pistol and rifle, I think its quite a concern. There must be reasons why in pistols and rifles we donot disassemble them often. In Sg accuracy in birds may be negligent but the fit and function of the comp may not last long. Eta. Could be the barrel thread w/c ever comes first.

BoyGlock Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Anyway with all the ifs and buts I see in a comp on this gun I may just sit on the fence for now. I shoot this gun pretty well in my standards in stock configuration so I may just preserve its RED beauty for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschultz Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Keep your pants on there's going to be a new comp on the market for the vr-80 soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHMSA15151 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I pre-ordered a trigger but haven't gotten anything yet. Did the get the email as to why the delay. I'd rather wait and get something that works well than get it quickly only to have to return it. As for comps. I have the short one and it helps noticeably. Problem is, it isn't open enough in the inside diameter to allow for choke tube removal. Taccom has one in the works that will solve all the issues of the one sold by Advanced Tactical.

stre-tch Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Random question. Does anyone know if the Typhoon F12 is just a rebranded VR80 without the ambi-charging handle? If it is I would opt to start with that and then I wouldn't have to buy as much furniture to get the gun to where I need it.
