Title: VPA 3 blade prototypes new pics
Post by: Zradix on February 01, 2012, 05:23:00 PM

I just came across a couple 190 grain glue on VPA's that are longer than the new ones.

Emailed VPA and they told me they're prototypes.

Is there any call for these among collectors?

Thanks

Just took these pics.
You can see the difference in length and the ferrule machining.
Both weigh about 186 grains.
The black ones are the ones in question.
