Rock Island Armory VR82 10 Round 20 Gauge Factory Magazine Black Blued Steel SKU 4236382 UPC 812285025988
Product Description
The Rock Island Armory® VR82 10-Round 20 Gauge Factory Magazine (SKU: 4236382 / UPC: 812285025988) delivers direct factory OEM reliability, extended capacity, and uninterrupted feeding performance for your RIA VR82 semi-automatic shotgun. Built to meet exact factory tolerances by Derya Arms for Armscor, this extended 10-round box magazine provides the continuous round count needed for 3-Gun practical shotgun competition, home defense staging, and high-volume range training without the bulk and handling compromises of drum configurations.
Constructed from heavy-gauge, heat-treated alloy steel, the magazine body is stamped and seam-welded to resist impact deformation, feed lip splay, and rough handling under competitive reloads. The exterior surface features a deep blued/black oxide conversion coating that resists moisture, salt air, and chemical solvents. Internally, a tempered, high-fatigue chrome-silicon wire spring works in tandem with a proprietary high-impact, anti-tilt polymer follower. This geometry maintains continuous upward column pressure, preventing nose-dives and uneven shell presentation as the column depletes.
The magazine base is anchored by a high-impact, shock-resistant polymer floorplate designed to survive direct drops onto concrete or packed gravel during speed reloads. Built-in witness slats along the body spine provide immediate visual confirmation of shell quantity at a glance. Engineered specifically for the VR82 magazine well, the stamped engagement lug locks into place with positive mechanical feedback and drops free cleanly upon release.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:*
Fitment Matrix: Direct fit for Rock Island Armory VR82 20 Gauge semi-automatic shotguns. CRITICAL: Feeds 2-3/4" shells ONLY. 3-inch magnum shells exceed internal body dimensions and will cause severe binding, feed lip stress, and mechanical failures to feed. Will NOT fit 12-gauge VR60, VR80, or VRPA40 shotguns.
- Ensure the host shotgun is completely pointed in a safe direction, safety selector engaged, chamber empty, and bolt locked open to the rear.
- Inspect the feed lips, follower movement, and magazine feed track for any packaging particulate or excess manufacturing oil; wipe clean and dry prior to loading.
- Load standard 2-3/4" 20-gauge ammunition by pressing shells downward and rearward beneath the feed lips, ensuring each hull rim is fully seated against the back wall of the magazine body.
- Insert the loaded magazine firmly into the VR82 magazine well with the bolt locked open until the magazine catch clicks positively and securely into place.
- Release the bolt forward into full battery using the bolt release lever, verify smooth chambering, and maintain weapon control until ready to fire.
