RIA USA VRF14 12 gauge firearm

[Big Frank]

More camo Duck tape. I was using my 12 gauge bore brush but misplaced it. I only have one so I used an M16 chamber brush to scrub the bore. Only the small part that goes in the barrel extension made contact and it was a little too loose for my liking, but it worked. I was able to brush back and forth inside the bore instead of going all the way through each pass because it was too small. That finally knocked al the crud out.

I was looking at the Duck tape on the forend and decided it needed some at the other end to help balance it out. So I wrapped a single piece around the back. I decided it still needed more camo, so I took the camo bandage off my bayonet handles and put it on. There wasn't much and it's been stretched out and reused too many times, and it wasn't going to work on the rear grip. So I put it all on the VFG, and it's well padded and comfortable to hang onto. I thought about sticking some tape on the sides of the mag well but probably won't. I may wrap the rear grip if I buy more camo bandage, but otherwise, I think I'm done messing with it.

There's a pair of CR123A batteries in the VFG to use in the WML. They're on a rubber battery sled that slides in and out and they don't rattle at all. The MFT REACT Ergonomic Vertical Grip worked really well after I ground the ridge off between the top 2 finger grooves. Since 123 batteries are 17 mm in diameter, they don't fit side by side like the 14.5mm wide AA batteries in the picture. They're 6mm wider, but they do stack one atop the other with a tiny tab of rubber in between them, on the other side of the battery sled. The rails on my gun are too narrow and I tightened the screw on the grip so far I had to put a nut on the other end where it stuck out. I would recommend both the grip and the gun. The VRF14 is only $289.00, and the pump-action VRPF14 is only $260.00 at Advanced Tactical. You could get BOTH of these American made firearms for $549. If they were any cheaper you could pass them out as party favors.
