What is the reason for a comp? Many for competing? I never fully understood the reason for a comp. Just making sure im buying what i need for my VR80 and dont need.
James, a comp usually serves one or both of two purposes, mitigation of recoil and reduction of muzzle rise. Oh and a third could be pissing off those around you at the range because they make shooting next to you a terrible experience with a much louder report and gasses vented to the sides :-). In the case of the VR80 the "New Style Short" comp pretty effectively keeps the muzzle from rising by venting most of the gasses behind the shot column upwards hence pushing down on the front of the barrel. "The New Style Long" also focuses most of the gas upwards but it also redirects a little more of the gases rearward at a 45 degree angle thant he short one does which reduces felt recoil a little as well as keeping the muzzle down. The Medium comp does a little of both; in the hands of most people the medium reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil about equally but is worse with muzzle rise than either the short or long. I personally run a short on my competition shotgun because I prefer shorter guns and the VR80 is so long anyway that the long just makes it too long to be manuverable. And, most folks seem to buy the medium for the "cool" look from what customers tell me. Hope that helps!
@mleeber ok. I'm glad you cleared up how they work. Yes, if the short comp helps in all what you said. I'll be getting that. I'm all about making sure shots stay on target and help with recoil and muzzle rise. After I break-in my VR80 I'll be adding that hogue but stock we talked about with a ether Jerry Miculek magnetic buffer or a kynshot hydraulic buffer. According to kynshot and rock island they recommend I break-in the shotgun 1st before adding the kynshot hydraulic buffer. Yes. I plan on oiling the CRAP out the piston and the bolt guide rails before and buring range days. Thank you for all your help here.
It appears that when you remove the factory hand guard, you lose the front iron sight. How do you fix this. I like the iron sights. No fancy scopes. Thanks.
Hi and happy Tuesday! The front sight is mounted to a pic rail so if you are replacing the factory HG with a full rail model you can attach it to the full rail on the new HG. If you are replacing it with our Carbon Fiber you can add a pic rail adapter to the mlok slot on the top and mount the original site to that. Hope that helps!
@@mleeber Thanks very much! If I add the carbon fiber HG, and a pic rail adapter, wouldnt that make the front sight to high causing aiming problems? Thanks
@@laurabeach8664 It should be pretty close because all the components in question are standard sizes but the sights are also adjustable up and down to rezero. Most folks put a red dot on these guns but you can co-witness the red dot and the iron sights.
The factory short handguard does not have MLOK slots on the bottom. You can drill or dremel into it to attache a picatinny rail section or you can upgrade to an Extended Handguard. We carry the RIA versions as well as our own Carbon Fiber version. Thank you!
Have you shot a VR80 that has been enhanced by Hayes Custom Guns? I like what their Level 2 Competition package offers, with some exceptions. I like the 'Stroked receiver and buffer system' mod, but do you offer anything close to this enhancement?
I think that depends on the way you decide to spend your money.... A $200 red dot on a $400 GLOCK, a $599 Romeo3Max on a $700 Sig, a 40 cent per gallon increase in 3 days for gas, $70,000 for a Ford truck and half a million a year for Biden are all a little extreme from somone's point of view. And let's not forget $1000 for an iPhone!!! Carbon Fiber is not cheap and life is short so buy what you want while you can.

@@mleeber Thanks! Okay, last question. Don’t have any plans of making a carbon fiber pic rail for the VR80 anytime soon?
@@laurabeach8664 No plans for a CF Pic rail, too many versions already out there that are not CF.
These are awesome loving my VR80 I wanna pick this up but I also want the V2Long Comp any idea when they'll be in stock I want to do 1 order
Long comps are on the way, hope to have them by Friday. Thanks!!!
@@mleeber Awesome just in time for payday!
Hey does the regular VR80 extended handguards MLOK compatible as well?
Yes, The extended handguards have MLOK compatible slots. The one you probably want is the one with the full rail, it has the most slots.
How u install front had grip doesn't got options like top

@@mleeber mine is the storm trooper it hat open holes any spacer for that

Are you referring to the kynshot hydraulic buffer
Whatcis the weight difference between carbon fiber and regular extended guard.
The Carbon Fiber is 8.8 ounces, the factory short one is 13.9 ounces.
Where can I get all these parts?? Websites please.
do you have a website?!? if so what is it... if not...WHY??
Yes, the web site is www.A3GMunitions.com.
Can you attach foregrip to this handguard?
Yes, all the slots are MLOK slots.

$300+ handguard for a $700 shotgun? Seems abit out of whack.
