IntenseImage Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 the safety spring that is held down by the retention plates in ARS is located under the buffer tube and plate so in an AR if you unscrew the buffer tube be ready for a tiny spring to come jumping out at you from under the retention plateOk yeah, wasn't sure what springs you meantSent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJ Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) So a standard AR rifle length tube for a fixed stock threaded on to the lower and has had no issues with using a standard rifle length buffer spring? Sorry, not trying to overly complicate the process but just want to be absolutely sure. I have a Luth MBA3 in my cart right now but I would strongly prefer the fixed MBA1. I had been told previously that a rifle length tube wouldn't work on this application. Edited March 6, 2019 by KyleJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had been told previously that a rifle length tube wouldn't work on this application. The tube isn't the problem. If the stock needs that divot in the lower to lock into to prevent rotation, then you may have a problem as the divot in the VR80 lower isn't like an AR. I'll get pics in a few for yaSent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a rifle length buffer spring, tube and buffer off brownells and it fit perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJ Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 It looks like some careful modification to that sling mount may help. I will play with it when it comes in and see if I can't get it lined up. Thanks for the answers and pictures guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody3025 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Great info guys y’all will have this thing all figured out by the time I get one. How’s the stock trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busdriver Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Terrible, 9lbs. I bent the legs on the trigger return spring and very lightly polished the sear face of the trigger...... pull dropped to 6lbs. I’ll replace it as soon as something better is available.

Stock trigger is garbage. I noticed on mine if I break the shot and then continue to add pressure it moves the safety.... it's getting replaced soon too but I have other more important upgrades like a compensator to add first. As far as I'm concerned it's an open shotgun, which means the trigger doesnt matter too terribly. It's not an ar where you want the trigger smooth. I mean this thing was literally created to lob 12 gauge rounds of destruction downrange, I can accept that the trigger is a little sloppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wipe out all old lube, give a light coat to the bolt/carrier, a drop down the rails/slots the carrier rides in within the upper.
