Is this a gen 1 or gen2

Pretty sure this is a gen 2 but I'd email utas at info@utasarms.com with the model number XTR12BM1 for a definite answer. Hope this helps.

Is the buffer tube mil-spec or commercial?

Michael, the buffer tube is commercial on this gun. Have a great day!

It’s a commercial buffer tube. Stay safe and happy plinking!!

considering its a 12 ga shotgun and the US military has never used a 12 ga AR shotgun there are NO MIL (Military) specs for this tube

This should have a commercial buffer tube. An easy way to tell a milspec buffer tube from a commercial one is to check the end of it. The milspec buffer tube will be flat on the end, the commercial buffer tube will have a slight slant on the end of it. Hope this helps.

Believe tese are based off DPMS AR10 lower so they should use commercial buffer tube.

Michael, this and the VR-80 come with Commercial Buffer Tubes Sir. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi, I just purchased this gun and was wondering what was the best ammo to use with it?

Just find some ammo and shoot it. No magic 12 ga round. Just whatever you can find.

Michael, I would worry about being able to find 12 ga ammo to buy. This shotgun will handle any round you can find to put through it. Sorry to say you will have to spend some money on ammo to put a hundred rounds or so through it for break in to get it as reliable as possible.

Michael, standard factory 12ga ammunition is fine. My brother has this and I have the Rock Island VR-80 and we have no issues firing any 12 gauge loads including slugs. Brenneke KO Slugs to be exact. We did experience some failure to cycle with low power bird shot but followed this advice of storing the shotgun with the bolt locked back to condition the spring and now even low power loads cycle fine. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvo0QPd-PHw

Hi, It is most reliable with Winchester AA super handicap birdshot. This gun is very picky when come to ammo. From my short experience with it, any low brass 2-3/4 shells that are below 1250 fps will jam every other round. Large shell-like 3" buckshot tend to fail to chamber sometime. Also, avoid slug, I know a dude who shot federal factory slug and cracks the bolt face.
