VF Tactical Autococker

[automeister]

Want to find a VF tactical Autococker. Other than the anno, is the pneumatic cover the only unique part to it? Any idea on how many were made?

[Magmoormaster]

The front block and body are unique as well. The front block is similar to a Karni front block, but square and has screw holes for the pneumatic cover. The Body is almost the same as a 2003 vert, but without the VASA screws drilled.

Also windowed between the tubes

I did not know the body was unique beyond annodizing and the jewel

Yeah, no asa mounting threads because it lives in the front block. I think there is also a notch to mount a timing rod cover as well

Not for sale. Just some pictures of mine to add to the conversation.

If my memory serves me WGP released them at Oklahoma D-Day in 2003.

Ball park guess on production numbers, maybe 1000? I’m basing that on absolutely nothing though.

Helpful information here, if you decide to sell down the road hit me up haha

I also dug up some old magazine write ups and advertising. Enjoy!

Is that the 2003 barrel or did it change to the style you have on your VFT later?

[Blackmagic71]

From what I can tell they changed barrels partway through the run. The earliest VF Tacticals use the same barrel that came with WGP Black Magics at the end of their run, and later VF Tactical came with the tactical Kaner based off the 2nd Gen Kaner kits.

Worth mentioning.... Available Production colors were black, od green, and the acid wash style camo. But there were a few brown and brown and tan acid camo ones done for the hitmen iirc

[automeister]

Thank you guys this is interesting. Thanks for bring up the timing rod cover I did not know that. The articles are cool haha

Always keep my eyes out for one of these but because of the unique bits they're prices haven't dipped much and a lot are missing pieces.

[Blackmagic71]

It’s odd how often they pop up for sale missing the shroud or the timing rod guard. They’re pretty unique pieces that don’t fit on anything else, why remove them?

[Ecapnation]

The timing rod covered were often lost... My team mate lost his playing

[automeister]

Does anyone have a shroud that I could borrow to use as a template to try to make my own version of? Or does someone have one they would sell? I found a VF but need the front shroud.

It always bugged me that these things didn't have the offset sight rails like the AGD Tac-One had.
