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.

Q: I know fascist NJ law makes gun shops pin AR15s with a threaded barrel. But if you have to pin VR80 muzzle shroud it would be impossible to clean and change gas piston. It would ruin the gun.
Author: Joseph S.
(1) 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

A: Daryl, the detachable magazine is not allowed on a Semi-Auto Shotgun nor a Thumb hole Stock in NY. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf
Author: James G.
A: Sorry but any semi automatic shotgun that can accept a detachable magazine is not legal in new York. If you want a tactical shotgun I'd recommend a pump action, they don't have the same strict laws like semi automatics. Hope this helps.
Author: Josh T.
A: Daryl, no, semi-autos with either a thumbhole stock or detachable magazine are prohibited in NY. This has both. https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf
