busdriver Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I did. Also rounded the back of the 2 tabs that fit into the upper. Before I did this it would occasionally stub a shell into one of the tabs. Which deformed the end of the shell and caused FTF. So far no more FTF. This mod also makes disassembly easier. The rounded tabs allow the upper to pivot on the front pin, like a standard ar15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread is a #8-32 and the set screw is 3/16” long.....you can tighten it enough to lock, but it you really bear down on it.....you be needing with the second brass screw provided or a re-tap to 10-32......in any event, you’ll not bugger up the threads on the barrel or crush anything on the barrel. Thanx, Tim. I assume the comp still has to come off every time you wanna clean the gas system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUBL Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 21 hours ago, outerlimits said: Thanx, Tim. I assume the comp still has to come off every time you wanna clean the gas system? Absolutely not!!! We designed the brake so that the hand guard slips over it. And we have designed retainers that replace the factory ones, that are split.....it’s really innovative and easy. The brake is very effective too!! I am sending the brakes off for anodize on Monday and we will be shipping the week after next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSonnen Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Anyone in the industry have plans for a larger charging handle? Something aluminum or titanium with knurling would be a huge plus. (I know Taccom has an ambi handle. That design is not fitting my need.) Edited August 6, 2019 by GSonnen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airedale Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 My VR80 20 rd drum mag is giving me fits with FTF issues. When I first got it, it ran fine. The gun went through it's terrible 2s where nothing ran reliably. I took off the big comp (and gave it away), cleaned the shotgun, and now 5, 10, and 19 rd run reliably with bird buck and slug. The drum will nose up FTF every 1-3 rounds. When I insert the drum, it has vertical play at the mag catch. It's likely not more than 1/16". I removed the TACCOM buffer and went back to factory, the tube is screwed out to a point that all the stick mags work. Other than the Tooth&Nail trigger, it's basically stock. Any thoughts?

Powerslide91 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I think $120 is for a 3 pack of +3 extensions. Each extension looks to be ~ $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerslide91 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Thinking for mags and mag extensions.... I picked up a VR80 a few weeks ago and am still going through breakin with it all stock. But I do notice the mag latch / release seems "funky". From the feel it seems to me the mag is dragging on the latch arm in removing the mag from the magwell with the release button pushed. It also seems when I push the mag release the latch arm can get bound up in the receiver. There was a time or two when the magazine would not pull out of the magwell as I pushed the button. Has anyone else seen anything about the mag latch fit or operation? Does anyone know if I can adjust the depth of the latch arm in the receiver like an AR mag latch? I have not yet tried to disassembly my mag latch yet... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. yes, you can back off the latch arm, but only couple turns. but do polish the upper side of the latch that contacts the slot in the mag.
