Introducing the Rock Island Armory VR80-CA, a modern marvel in the realm of semi-automatic shotguns. Renowned for its AR-15-style ergonomics and designed with California compliance in mind, this 12-gauge powerhouse offers a compelling blend of tactical adaptability and user-friendly controls. Sporting a sleek black finish, the VR80-CA stands out for its versatility and performance, appealing to sport shooters and tactical enthusiasts alike. With a 5+1 capacity and a 20" barrel, it provides the perfect balance of firepower and maneuverability, suitable for home defense, competitive shooting, or tactical training.
The overall condition of this VR80-CA is very good, showcasing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. The bore condition is excellent, with a clean, mirror finish and no signs of wear, ensuring optimal performance. The original stock is missing the butt pad, and there are light blemishes, but these are minor considerations in the context of the shotgun's impressive overall quality. Included in the sale are the original 16.5" handguard, original compliant stock/grip, heavy/light load buffer, and two 5-round magazines, all housed within the original factory box.
The VR80-CA is equipped with a fixed Magpul MOE carbine stock and metal pistol grip, providing a robust and reliable hold. The front and rear flip-up sights offer flexibility and precision, while the gas-operated action ensures smooth cycling with each shot. The shotgun is chambered for 3" shells and comes with full, cylinder (C), and modified (MOD) chokes, allowing for adaptability to different shooting scenarios. Although partially converted to a non-compliant variation, it retains the magazine lock feature, which requires popping out the rear detent to remove the magazine, yet can be easily reverted to its original CA-compliant configuration. Manufactured in Turkey by Armscor, a leader in affordable and reliable firearms, the VR80-CA is a testament to quality and innovation.
For the firearm enthusiast seeking a reliable and exciting addition to their collection, the Rock Island Armory VR80-CA offers a unique blend of features and flexibility. Its semi-automatic operation facilitates fast follow-up shots, essential for competitive shooting or home defense.
