IntenseImage Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Bare and taccom are almost the same? How can that be?Because the Taccom doesn't monkey f*#k the pattern like the RIA does - probably either due to bore diameter or how the escaping gasses flow. It (RIA) works great for maximum recoil/lift control but the pattern suffers greatly. The Taccom gives SLIGHTLY more lift and felt recoil (negligible IMHO) but keeps the pattern. It's the right choice. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on your specific shotgun stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VU2AKILL Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) The search on my phone found nothing but an improved search on my work computer found the answer in this forum. Thanks Question for you guys. Hopefully you can save me from reading through all the pages since my search didn't find anything. I have a standard rifle length Rock River fixed stock that I like the cheek weld on. Wanted to try it on the VR but I am not sure the rifle length 223 rated spring will be compatible with 12 gauge recoil. Anyone have any idea if this will work?

Woody3025 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Not sure about the rifle length setup, but i have in the past made a spacer to put under a carbine length spring in a rifle length buffer tube to make it the same operating length as a carbine buffer tube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUBL Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I still submit that the only reason why the RIA long brake seems to be softer and less rise is due to the fact that you are hanging the equivalent of 3 McDonald's quarter pounders on the end of your barrel....that beast weighs in at 3/4 pound. I understand that you put a 19 round mag in or 20 round drum in and you say that negates the extra weight......but you are still hanging 3/4 pound in an area that you should NOT be hanging 3/4 pound. Even taking the RIA short brake and modifying it is a better solution than the 'pig' brake. Edited August 14, 2019 by TRUBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even taking the RIA short brake and modifying it is a better solution than the 'pig' brake. Pig breaks work. Look at the sjc titan. Gigantic but works. Look at any if the mid barrel breaks for dissident arms. I dont mind hanging a 15 lb slab of metal off my barrel if it means not feeling any recoil. That being said, for being more lightweight, the taccom solution did an ok job of breaking the recoil. Normally for comps that are both lightweight and small in size you would not expect it to break the recoil as much as it did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time the gas makes it to the muzzle, not as much there, as mid-barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
