VEPR 12

Royal tiger has 5 rounders. Just saw that tonight but they are about the same $

Got a Molot factory tri-rail lower hand guard from Legion USA today. After a bit of scraping and sanding it fits nice and tight. Added a spare AFG I had laying around. Now it feels as badass as it looks. At least IMO.

interesting. Mine fit right on with no issues, BUT it is basically a loose toleranced AK!

It just needed a couple burs of plastic removed and a slight rub with some 200 grit sand paper on the tang that fits into the receiver. I think it had more to do with the molding of the hand guard than it did with the receiver.

I saw earlier Classic Firearms has these down to $899 now.

The newest ones they're importing can't be made to fold. I guess it's just a rear plate with the tubes welded on and no longer a tack welded folder. I don't know if that's what classic has but that seems to be phase 3 of these things.

 

[kawtech87]

That sucks. Glad I got one of the folders. Next items on the list are 922r compliance parts and then breaking the weld.

And then get the IN sbs law changed and CHOP.

Still wondering what to do with mine. Already have a bonesteel folder, muzzle device, new grip, and added rail section on the bottom of the handguard.

Shoot it?

Get rid of the horrible "ambi" safety? Mine could use a good dehorning too, lots of sharp edges. On my to-do list is to machine up a wooden lower handguard from a maple block I have earmarked.

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

Here is how mine has turned out so far...

 

[Kernal1984]

Just ordered mine from Atlantic.

If Indiana allows sbs's it will be chopped to 12 inches...

I likey

Finally got to take my Vepr 12 out to the property to do some blasting. Ran 50 rounds of S&B 00 through it and my god! I'm in love with this shotgun! I would say it ran like a sewing machine but more accurately it ran like a jackhammer. Love love love it.

https://www.classicfirearms.com/ has the Vepr shotuns on sale for $799.99 again. ALSO, they have Russian 5 round mags for $29.99

 

[tradertator]

Thanks for the heads up Clay, I've been needing to get a few more mags and missed out on the cheap Aim Surplus ones.

Awe man that pisses me off. I bought one a few months back for twice that. That really sucks.

Got an email 51 minutes ago that CSS had the Vepr 12 drums back in stock.

By the time I saw the email, they were again out of stock - but this might be an indication that SGM is happy with and shipping the 25 round drums again??

EDIT:
SGM homepage does indicate that they shipped these to a handful of retailers.

A few months ago on vepr .org they were discussing the availability of the sgm drums and the verdict was that the drums were never in fact shipped. Have you read somewhere where someone has one in their hands?
