Long Handguard VR80

[robertg5322]

Hello.

 

I have a RIA VR80 with the long handguard. The threads to use the extra handguard nut that RIA provides with the gun are way back, under the longer handguard, not sure why they even included the nut with the gun that comes with the long handguard.

 

My question is will this gun accept the Taccom muzzle brake, and how is the handguard held in place with the brake installed?

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

 

Thanks.

That is a good question about the barrel nut and I don't know that answer. 

But I installed a RIA comp on mine with a long handguard. I took the barrel shroud and cut it to length so the comp would tighten up against it when installed. I then use a set screw on the comp also. I put a small piece of copper under the set screw so it will not damage the threads. Works good.
