I was afraid I was going to break something and it wouldn’t budge. I’ll give it another try. I bent a brass punch knocking it out (opposite direction from pin with "c" clip). It is splined and pressed into the receiver. You need a lot of persuasion to get it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWG1WGA Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I almost think there’s some loctite on the splined section. Once you knock it out the first time it’s real easy every time after. Just support the receiver really well on something solid and give it a good whack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went with a longer set screw up front. So the factory disconnector fit the JP trigger unmodified? I checked with a couple of brands of AR triggers and it wouldn’t. The VR80 disconnector is considerably thicker and won’t fit the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTfball68 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Hi guys, new to the forum...but I have read this thread in its entirety a couple times now. Been itching for a box fed semi-Auto for a long time, been eyeing the vr80 since it came out, and seems to be the only one out there a hobbyist like me could buy and have fun with right out of the box and not spend a couple grand making it reliable. Took me about 200rds before it would take anything I fed it (still didn’t like feeding the jelly hulls of Sellier & Bellot 00 Buck, but I expected that). Anyway, had this thing for about 10 days now, put 675 rounds through it in OEM dressing. Got my Hogue overmolded and adaptive tactical stock on last night. Really thought Ergo deluxe tactical grips would be the ticket for a little more robust grip on a 12ga, but they felt like I was holding an apple (I’m 6’4” with large hands, so I wasn't impressed), they found their way in to my kids toy box. Have several 9 rounders and a TnN drum that should be here by tomorrow. I don’t shoot competitively, so no need for the extended mags, and they look a bit awkward to me anyway. Overall I don’t expect this gun to be perfect at anything, but want it to function at everything pretty well and be a good jack of all trades gun. If I want to hunt with it, I will...if I want it as quasi home defense, it will be...if I want to try shooting clays with it, I will...etc etc. Have a long old style muzzle brake coming from Advanced Tactical (site apparently updated the sale mid purchase today, went from $71 to $99). Really liked the fluted barrel shroud/brake look...because I’m fancy like that. Once the buffer/spring combo is available again at Taccom, I’ll be snagging one of those and a charger handle. Optics, I have a 510c on the way, but really want to try an EasyHit PX-S2000 for simplicity, but looks like I can only order from the UK...so if anyone has a hook up, let me know. I’d post a pic but the files are too big and I haven’t hosted them anywhere yet. But to give you an idea, it looks exactly like a VR80 just with Hogue Overmolded grips and an Adaptive Tactical EX stock.

SQUIDload Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 FYI- I decided to go with the taccom brake after someone did some testing and the AT brakes seemed to mess up the shot pattern. You might look into that if your going to hunt with it. Missing targets and clays are one thing, but missing birds would be miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see Tim (I don't know him, just saw him referenced a lot) call the RIA comp a 3/4lb cheeseburger...which is actually ok with me, recoil reduction is recoil reduction. However, I also saw there were comments/pics of pattern spread/deflection which did concern me. If I end up not liking the RIA when I get it on there, figured it would be no biggie to add a taccom to the cart when I snag the buffer recoil system.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk love the thread and all the info. question, will the AT handguard accept Mlok attachments? the factory handguard seems to be really close the gas block system/barrel. I tried putting a foregrip on mine and the bolts actually touched the gas block slide, or should I just cut the threads down? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna get it swapped over this weekend after I finish Ceramic coating all the orange parts to black. Love the gun, hate the orange trim. lol wish the US factory handguard came with a bottom rail to add a foregrip. can we get those handgaurds in the states? looks good.

It should be out around Black Friday and I believe will work with the factory levers as well as his extended ones. Where did you hear about this? It's past Black Friday and there's nothing out. I've been asking manufacturers if they intend to make one of these. On 12/19/2019 at 4:08 AM, Underwood said: Anybody on here try out the Elfman trigger or have one on order?

I asked him if he'd consider making a Magpul type "BAD lever" device for the VR-80 and he flatty said no. Taylor Freelance said they'd consider it after Shot Show. If I can get one of those and the 45 degree safety lever, I'll have the same setup as my AR. Edited January 14, 2020 by telligentgunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a 'BAD' lever as working very well for anything other than locking the bolt back for "Unload and Show Clear". There is so much spring pressure on the bolt latch the lever would need to be 2 foot long to have enough leverage to use it to drop the bolt on a loaded magazine.

TRUBL Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 The short throw safety barrel is out at plating right now, will be back in house by Friday or Monday, so we will have them up on the TACCOM website for sale today sometime and ship this next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a company that makes a similar shotgun and they make one that works well, so I want one. And yes, it’s very much needed to lock the bolt back to show clear.

VU2AKILL Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Question for you guys. I have a thousand or more rounds through my VR now but I have a reoccurring issue coming up and hoping someone can help. I put a Magpul MOE SL stock on it and under recoil the stock will collapse to its shortest position. Not very fun when your face gets that close to the upper of a 12 guage! Are these notorious for collapsing like this or what? I know this is the model without the locking lever and maybe I messed up getting this over the locking one. Anyone know of a fix for this...or do I need a different stock. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is it's the tube not the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
