Beast of a firearm, kicks like a mule and patterns very well. Ran great with all mags and drum. Replaced the buttstock and pistol grip and fit is much better.

This is the most awesome shotgun, I've heard that people are having a hard time with shooting low brass, but ifound that right after buying this I had the bolt open for 10 days and I have no problems shooting low brass. Awesome gun ria and buds.

Awesome! I read the reviews about jams but when I recieved the gun I read the "instructions" and followed their shell recomendations, did get a few jams but just a few.

Cleaned up up and got all the oil off of it. Was a bit finicky on the break in. Checked the 3 gas ports and reamed them out to 16 thousandths and filed the tabs on top of the magazines. Another thing to do is lock the bolt back and leave it for 30 days. After these 3 little hacks the gun runs absolutely fine. Thanks again to Bud's for getting it to my FFL in such good time

Love this gun. The break in period kinda sucks. Hard to cycle at first if you don't use high brass. Overall it's an awesome gun. Be a5 star if it would cycle the first rounds

Had no issues out-of-the-box with #5 federal blue box high-brass 3 3/4 dram (didn't clean it first) . Not a fan of the sites as I'm not used to the AR style and I'm only interested in 15 yards or less. Ran some 00buck through it too and performed as expected. Cleaned it after first use and it did seem fairly dirty around gas system for first 50 rounds , but I don't have anything to compare it to. Thought the recoil was very manageable compared to a Mossberg 500 12Ga for example.

The VR80 seems to be a well built semi automatic shotgun. It does take some time to break it in to perform as expected. The manual states 500 rounds of break in and it will likely take most of that. I put 100 rounds through it when I brought it home and it is gradually performing better. I have cleaned it twice and wear is as it should be. Easy to assemble and disassemble. Safety is in bad location on right side for me and it rubs the upper trigger finger continually. I am 5'7" and the weapon is not adjustable as shipped so it feels too long. Replacing the butt stock and grip will resolve this issue.
I like the VR80 overall and I hope once I reach the 500 rounds that it performs flawlessly.
Recoil reduction is something I am reviewing now. I wish there were recommendations from Rock Island on this subject.
It should be one of my favorites once it is squared away to my liking.

A:John, this has a smooth bore Barrel. For the first 200-250 rounds I'd stick to standard or high velocity rounds. After that you can shoot just about anything. This will shoot bird shot, buck shot or slugs. Since this has a smooth bore rifled slugs will have the best accuracy. This has a 3 inch chamber so it will fire 2-3/4 inch and 3 inch shells. Hope this helps.See 1 more answer | -

A:Joseph, barrel shrouds are permitted on shot guns. The VR80 is 100% NJ compliant, I am a NJ resident and I bought mine before the SHTF, so go ahead and indulge and buy yourself one, especially at that price! budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_jersey_restrictions.pdf -
