Rock Island Armory VR82 20 Round 20 Gauge Factory Magazine Blued Steel SKU 4237982 UPC 812285025995
Product Description
The Rock Island Armory® VR82 20-Round 20 Gauge Factory Magazine (SKU: 4237982 / UPC: 812285025995) provides maximum continuous firepower, uncompromising cycling reliability, and extended capacity for your RIA VR82 semi-automatic shotgun. Manufactured to strict factory tolerances by Derya Arms for Armscor, this extended 20-round box magazine provides the sustained volume required for Open Division 3-Gun shotgun competition, high-volume range training, and tactical defensive staging without the bulk, balance shifts, or complexity of drum setups.
Constructed from heavy-gauge, heat-treated alloy steel, the magazine body features precision-formed seam welds engineered to resist impact deformation, feed lip splay, and aggressive handling during rapid magazine changes. The exterior surface is treated with a protective black blued/oxide conversion coating that repels moisture, field debris, and harsh bore solvents. Internally, an extended heavy-duty chrome-silicon wire spring works in tandem with a proprietary self-lubricating, anti-tilt polymer follower to maintain constant upward column tension, preventing nose-dives and irregular shell rim presentation down to the final round.
The magazine base is anchored by a high-impact, shock-resistant glass-filled polymer floorplate designed to absorb impact energy during emergency drops on hard surfaces. Stamped visual witness slats along the body spine provide immediate visual confirmation of shell count during staging. Tailored specifically for the VR82 magazine well, the stamped engagement notch locks into place with positive mechanical retention and drops cleanly free when the release is pressed.
*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 rear 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.
