The Rock Island VR60 stands as a testament to the evolution of modern shotguns, embodying both innovation and reliability. Crafted for those who demand excellence in their firearm, this semi-automatic shotgun is chambered in 12 gauge with a versatile 20-inch contoured barrel that accommodates both 2 3/4" and 3" magnum loads.
At its heart lies a conventional gas-operated action, ingeniously positioned around the support tube beneath the barrel—an engineering choice that ensures dependable cycling. The return spring shares this placement, cleverly concealed by an enlarged polymer handguard for enhanced handling comfort.
The upper receiver, forged from durable aluminum alloy and finished with black anodization, offers robustness without unnecessary weight. It features an A-2 style carry handle complemented by an integral Picatinny rail atop—the perfect foundation for mounting rear sights or various optical accessories. For those preferring versatility, the removable carry handle allows swift conversion to a flat-top configuration.
This model mimics key operational aspects of the M16 rifle familiar to many enthusiasts: the magazine release button is intuitively located while maintaining tactical efficiency; similarly, its manual safety resides on the left side above the pistol grip—a nod to time-tested ergonomics.
Designed with practicality at its core, it includes flip-up sights along its receiver-length Picatinny rail system. Its fixed black polymer stock integrates seamlessly with a fixed pistol grip ensuring stability during operation and recoil management aided further by a rubber butt pad.
The VR60 accepts all standard AR-12 magazines including detachable box magazines configured for five rounds each—offering compatibility across platforms while expanding your capacity options effortlessly.
This shotgun arrives packaged thoughtfully alongside chokes and necessary magazines within commercial-grade boxing suitable not only for storage but also presentation should gifting be desired. Weighing in at just under seven-and-a-half pounds empty with an overall length measuring approximately thirty-nine inches (or nine hundred ninety millimeters), it remains maneuverable yet substantial enough when precision counts most whether hunting game afield or engaging targets competitively on range days alike!
