Why do people still post overpriced and barely functional turkshit on here?
You can buy two fully functioning Maverick 88 shotguns and ammo for less than the cost of this shit.
Fearless-Jeweler-318@reddit
Mossberg outsources to Mexico for mavericks, i guess that is better than turkey if only slightly
Buying one of these corny 12 gauges made to look like battle rifles is the real offender here. A ksg isn't much higher quality than one of these monstrosities but at least its not serving the literal lowest common denominator
MapleSurpy@reddit
I've owned a dozen Mavericks over the years with 0 failures. They are widely known to be 100% reliable.
SOME of the parts for Mavericks are made in Mexico. The firearms are made here, with a good amount of US made parts (same parts as the 500) with some budget parts from Mexico to help the price stay low.
Comparing a Maverick to Turkish stuff becuase they have some Mexican parts is strange lol
Rustyclam@reddit
Drop it on the ground and get back to us lol.
don2171@reddit
I understand supporting American and all but If I'm spending my money whoever gives me a good product can take it. A ksg is neither semi auto nor mag fed so whoever is looking to buy that is looking at a different type of shotgun
Rustyclam@reddit
You know the action locks up if you drop an 88 right? There are several turkish shotguns that will out live and out perform a mossberg 88. I have the 88 and a 940 pro, both have had issues. Are you aware of Caniks reputation? Tisas? Mac? Girsan? Listen, I am Greek, not a fan of the Turks, but you gotta give credit where credits due. Its not a region thing.
don2171@reddit
Because a maverick 88 isn't a competition used semi auto shotgun
A_Squid_A_Dog@reddit
Mag fed shotgun to go brrrr in 3 gun
Intheshaw1@reddit
Are these barely functional?
This was the best budget 3gun open shotgun for years and most of the ones I've seen run worked fine with a little tinkering and then they would take a beating.
MapleSurpy@reddit
Yeah if you google " VR80 issues" there are ...quite a few.
My FFL used to sell a bunch of these but stopped after too many complaints from people who bought them. They had one on their range and said the charging handle flew off within 150 rounds.
This was a while ago, no idea if they fixed them but....Turkshit be doin Turkshit things.
clicktoseemyfetishes@reddit
Google literally anything plus “issues” and you’ll find a lot of issues
MapleSurpy@reddit
Not nearly as much as you find with turkshit shotguns my friend, this isn't new.
Intheshaw1@reddit
Yeah, I know there were issues but there were also tons of videos showing the fixes and it wasnt hard or costly. I don't remember what they were but supposedly fairly easy. I shot tac ops so I never looked into it but virtually everyone shooting open was running a VR80 without issue and the match round counts on shotguns would be like 150-200 rounds for my local 3gun matches. But that was 4 plus years ago, not clue if quality went down but would be a shame since these were the standard.
7ddlysuns@reddit (OP)
Yeah I think people are confusing this one. My vr60 has been really good.
Intheshaw1@reddit
Yeah, the VR80 used to rule 3gun open (still might) and the M3k ruled tac ops. Both of which are turk guns....
Toasterofwar@reddit
i still see tons of both at 3 gun only other mag fed i see is the gen 12 on occasion
clicktoseemyfetishes@reddit
Any M4 or 1014 clones?
Toasterofwar@reddit
as of late lots of a300s and franchi affinity there is 2 guys that run the agency arms tradesmen and orthos that I see but mainly all the ones are just heavily modded vr80s
7ddlysuns@reddit (OP)
Yeah the comments on previous vr80 deals have been positive. Eh, whatever. Buy or don’t. Good price for it either way
AskMeWhyIFish@reddit
Especially when there's an actual deal going on there:

Mike_Romeo_Bravo@reddit
Long term VR80 user in 3 gun chiming in. After a decent amount of work mine is pretty darn reliable. Most of the "issues" come during the initial break in or from the magazines which pretty much all box fed mags have. I will say that the only issue I have now is that Rock Island's customer service is one of the worst. They use to be fairly good about being responsive but for the past 2 years I haven't been able to reach anyone by phone or email.
7ddlysuns@reddit (OP)
What did you do to the mags to make them better?
Mike_Romeo_Bravo@reddit
It's less about making them better and more not making them worse. The single stick mags that go up to 10 rounds are all generally fine. The large 19 round mags have a coupler. Torque the screws on the coupler and you bend the mags. Usually the follower will get stuck if you torque them too much. I know some people strip the paint off the top half of the mag and remove the bolt hold open tap. I haven't had those issues. I have sanded down all the sharp edges on the follower which seems to help with feeding.
I think ammo selection is big one with these magazine. If you buy shotgun shells with soft hulls the magazine will squish them and then you may have trouble feeding and chambering rounds. Need to use ammo with hard hulls. Cheapo Walmart winchester with the smooth hulls tend to be pretty soft. The federal have a corrugated hull that is more firm that I like to run. If I am competing on a hot day I will put my loaded magazine in a cooler full of ice. The heat will further soften the already soft hulls and cause feeding issues.
Lastly run the right velocity ammo for gas ring you are running. The light gas ring will typically run the lower velocity bird shot well but if you have a stage with slugs or buck shot you could have issues if you are running typical high velocity loads. Need to find low velocity often advertised as low recoil slugs and buck if you are running the light gas ring. With the heavy gas ring installed you should have been luck with the standard recoil/velocity slugs and buck but you might have issues with low velocity cheapo bird shot.

“Your honor my client was merely protecting his home,”
7ddlysuns@reddit (OP)
Oh wow
Large_Character783@reddit
Maybe im one of the few but my VR80 has been flawless
7ddlysuns@reddit (OP)
I think that’s actually pretty common. People are just spouting anti-Turkish shotgun for some reason. Some are good and this seems to be one of them
wrlea88@reddit
People complaining about the price but these used to be $600. My buddy has one and it's a lot of fun. Had a wild break-in period but now it runs with no issues.
perfes@reddit
If I was gonna get a fun turkshit gun I would rather pay like $200. $400 is a bit too much money for this.
FadingFX@reddit
I bought a law enforcement Benelli Supernova for this price a couple years ago, ain’t no way I’m buying Turkish for $400 lol
mattbick2003@reddit
When it doesnt cycle, you can at least use it as a poorly weighted club.
BiggyIrons@reddit
I wouldnt take this if you gave it to me
