parvusimperator Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Looks like Hayes Custom has a complete set of mods for the VR80 now: Getting the mods done is $1500, plus charges for extras like the odin stock. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just thought this was neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaskajokunen Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The option to remove the bolt assembly from the rear is niceee. It probably makes it easier to tune the recoil spring, amount of gas needed and the types of ammo it can use. Sadly i can't copy this at home because of legal stuff in Finland, but i sure as hell can do the drawings and send it to a smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUBL Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Unless you know what you are doing.......and from what I've seen so far.....no one has done it right. Modifying your VR80 to remove the bolt from the back will not only void the factory warranty (duh).....not dome correctly, it's down right dangerous. That aluminum tail ends up taking all the force at the end of the stroke and it was not designed to do that. The bolt was designed to stop on the rubber pad in the upper. Even with the TACCOM buffer system.....you should allow for the bolt the stop on the rubber pad (done by turning out the buffer tube a turn or two).......You can consider this a PSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not correct - THIS PACKAGE IS FOR CUSTOMER SUPPLIED GUNS ONLY. We will offer new guns as they become available. - straight off of the page for the VR80 on their site. The title of the VR80 page even says - Hayes Custom Guns VR80 Competition Shotgun - Customer Supplied Gun $1,500.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken some material off from the surfaces shown by arrows after this picture was taken. I aso polished the surfaces that are connecting between each other during the cokcing process. Now i can barely notice the binding when cycling by hand, hammer forward while pressing the trigger. I have no data on paper but it feels smoother and the recoil is more consistent. Also in the picture are the JP springs, Adapter for the JP spring on the hammer, my own trigger and OR anti-walk pins. If i had money i would find or have made for me closer to 4mm diameter pins and the hammer pin should be about 5mm longer than the trigger pin. I wish the Turks would of made something on this shotgun to AR-spec. Interested in this idea, what is the hammer adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The adapter is printed from tool steel to match AR dimensions. Nowdays i use a Typhoon hammer and disconnector. Better quality steel used with case hardening (unlike the original hammer wtf?). Hammer shape modified a bit and springs replaced. Of course if you live in the States it would be cheaper to buy the tooth and nail drop in trigger set for example. https://www.toothandnailarmory.com/product/VR80TriggerFlat.html Edited August 17, 2020 by Jaskajokunen Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaskajokunen Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I saw some guy talking about magnets on youtube a while ago so i decided to make a video about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaskajokunen Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Prematch video from Finnish shotgun nationals. Pretty much shot at my own level. Started stage 11 from the wrong side. Stage 1 had one miss, my fault not the shotgun. Had a brain freeze on stage 6. In general i forgot to shave down the fronts of the magazines wich develope a burr when used enough. This prevents the mags falling out freely if the mag is leaning forward in the magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raydog22602 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Can a steel shot be fired out of the vr80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdog566 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Took my new vr80 out for the first time with expectations of several malfunctions until it’s broke in with 2-300 hot loads. Only mods right now are mil spec buffer tube, stock and grip. I also removed the bolt stop. I shot 50 rounds of Federal Premium Target 8 shot 1245 FPS through stock 19 round and 5 round msgs. To my surprise I had zero fail to feeds and fail to ejects. Unfortunately I had several light primer strikes, about 10. Anyone have suggestions?

If you don’t, and have the charge handle on the left, you WILL lose some hide. I cut the top off mine and left it on. I can use the charge handle to release the bolt. Probably should remove it but I thought I’d try this first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ming the Merciless Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Advanced Tactical carries them. They show out of stock, but if you call, they probably can find one. https://advancedtactical.com/vr80-bolt-catch-pin.html If no luck there try Hayes Customs.
