What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

I sent it to Heritage Arms in Loma Colorado. They inletted it and they make their own bottom metal. It was a package deal, with shipping back to me it ran around $280. There are several manufacturers out there that do this sort of thing. Below is the metal that I replaced.

 

That would be a nice upgrade.

 

Did your smith check the ramp angle? 20% of the time you do a M5 type bottom metal for a non-m5 gun, there is a feeding problem. If that’s the case then you might be tuning feed lips on the mag if reliability is a concern.

 

I loaded the magazine with five rounds and cycled it. It was flawless. I purchased a magazine with a binder plate which aids in round feeding. It's when you run mags with no plate you run into problems. What mag you run is determined by your COAL. The rounds I use are well within spec for a mag with a plate. I'm using an Accurate Mag magazine.

 

Just ordered the Rock Island Armory VR80 Shotgun. Cant wait.

 

I’m not talking buying the wrong mag type or the front binder. I’m talking about the tolerance in the stock relative to he feed ramp and the magwell. The only fix is changing the angle to the lips, or a new stock.

Either way, doesn’t sound like it’s a problem for you, which is a good thing. Semper gumby.

 

I did notice the metal sits deep in the stock. I can only assume it was done this way to eliminate feeding issues.

 

Heck $280?! That's not bad at all, I've got an old 700 VTR I could probably have this done to!

 

I forgot to mention it cost me $25 to send it to them using USPS. It doesn't come with the magazine. Had to buy that separate. That ran around $65.

 

Oh well then I'm out!!

Haha, I'm kidding!

I've got lots of AICS mags already for rifle competitions, so I've got the expensive part out of the way already.

 

A beastly 12ga! I'd like to hear how it cycles with the 5rd mags and bigger capacity if you're going that route.

"The shotgun comes with two five-round magazines, but the same 9 and 19-round magazines that work in the VRBP 100 will work in the VR80, too."

 

Picked up a little food for the 870 and a new toothbrush.

 

Sunday Gunday! Just picked this up in 5.56 i plan on getting the 7.62 soon to match but i got to slow down this my fourth new gun this year...

 

I have been reading reviews and alot of people say if you use lower than the recommended fps it doesnt cycle well. But just recently saw that if you leave the ejector open, it softens the spring and allows for better cycling.

 

Ordered some Midwest Industries front (HK style) & rear sights.

 

You will hate them send them my way…..

 

You keep cleaning stuff up and you’ll probably find 20 sets you forgot you have

 

I have the VRBP 100, haven’t shot it yet.

 

Your right the gas block is pretty close to the rail. I usually just run the BCM rail cover and use the c clamp method when shooting. The only vertical grip I have now is on my KAC RAS.

 

I know what I didn’t buy. Looks like they rolled the price the wrong way
