IHMSA15151 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 At the time I was setting this up I was told 6 coils off of a carbine spring. Function is fine, just a bit hard getting the bolt locked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fishnshoot Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Got it in Thursday. Put in a Taccom buffer with the factory spring, mil spec buffer tube, stock and grip. First 15 rounds had issues. After that the next 90 shells were flawless in all mags (19,9,5) Next up is trigger and compensator. any suggestions for heat shield on the rail? I’ve seen Taccom is working on one and others have used paracord wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasspicker Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Whats the giant knob charging handle? where did you get that? Got a clearer pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fishnshoot Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The charging handle came with a rubber cover thing. I ended up taking it off while shooting it. It was very loosely fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just a protective shipping cover - to prevent the sharp handle from punching through the box - toss it in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of brake is everyone running? I understand they are not in stock but is there a particular type I need to watch for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Are you running Ergo flat top or some other Ergo variant (I like Ergo’s but don’t want to return if Ergo suregrip beavertail creates a gap on the VR80). Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason_something Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) 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.

The dummy loads that I made up for myself get shredded up pretty good at the crimp. My friend's Typhoon F12 is more fussy but it's early in his break in stage(needs 1300/1⅛ still). Getting the crimp tucked in by having the right wad/load mix is necessary. I have a range of loads ready to try and expect 1⅛ loads in 2¾" AA hulls with CB1100-12 wads to work. I'll find out how much powder soon. My VR can function on Rem Gun Club 1oz/1185 loads though it won't run Nobel 1oz/1200 loads. Once I determine the minimum power factor 1⅛ load I'll put the Taccom buffer in and see how it runs with that. I'll be looking at the sharp edges that are catching the leading edge of the rounds.

Brasspicker Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the movement cause any loss of alignment with the sight and your eye? Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasspicker Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I took some videos shooting it and it moved about an 1/2 to 3/4 inch or so during recoil. Doesn't effect sighting in anyway I noticed, if anything the less recoil made it easier to get back on target after the shot. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravnik Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Ugh - I purchased a VR80 last Saturday in CA and now I have to wait 10 days (6 more) to pick her up. In the meantime I have purchased two stocks (GL-Shock is one other is a Magpul), Taccom Compensator/recoil buffer, T&N Trigger, Magpul Pistol Grip and a few Magazines (9 rounders).I BLAME YOU GUYS AND THIS THREAD! Can't wait to hit the range once I get her and break her in like she did my wallet. Edited October 2, 2019 by Bravnik Spelling Issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerz7899 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hello fellas, I've been banging my head off of the walls trying to find a group of intelligent people that may be able to help me, I got my vr80 3 days ago broke the entire weapon down to degrease the 17 million pounds of sludge trapped inside as I am having it cerekoted so my brother and I don't look like twins. Here is my issue I somehow lost the entire safety assembly armscor only sells the switch online I've called emailed online chat the whole 9 they seem incompetent they want me to mail the gun back wait two months to get fixed and returned but line one of warranty says mods void warranty so does anyone know of a place where I can get a safety that will fit this model? Thanks, sorry for the book just frustrated by ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, sorry for the book just frustrated by ignorance. The only option will be the new 45* one coming from Taccom (note it will only be the internal barrel portion for sale, not the levers). It should be out around Black Friday and I believe will work with the factory levers as well as his extended ones. If you lost all of it, you might want to grab the new part and his levers. If you dont want a 45* or the extended levers, im sure there will be owners who will sell their stock parts off once the new stuff is ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonesinium Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 How do you remove the hammer pin? Does it just punch out like an AR hammer pin and it just happens to be incredibly difficult? I can’t get the thing to move at all. Is it one directional only, and if so, which direction? Both ends look identical... Trigger pin, with the C clip on one end is obvious on how to remove. Thanks.
