VEPR-12

#1 Post by bofor »

Anyone have one of these ?

What are they like out of the box and who supplies them ?

What about customise them ?

Been watching some Russian Youtube and they look good, but they are customised ?

I have one.

Perfect out of the box. I was told to put a couple of boxes of the heaviest load through it to run it in.

I only shoot slug and its been generally flawless. Out of about 600 rds to date, only 3 FTE and all caused by me mag gripping ( cured by installing a VFG ) or mounting an optic ( Veprs really dont like anything mounted forward on the rail.

I replaced the factory skeleton stock with a Magpul AR type stock.

I have now put a micro burris red dot and its better than ever.

Got mine at 24" inc permanently attached brake. From Oleg at RusMilitary.

I believe at least one other RFD offers the same version.

You can also get them 27" unbraked and with screw in chokes.

Its the nearest you will get to shooting a fullbore AK on semi-auto as a UK shooter.

We only shot birdshot at steel drop down targets at my club, mainly 25-yds, so I guess a choke is needed.

27" barrel with brake seems long !

What does one of those cost?

And what are you paying for slug? My local RFD is charging £1 Each.

It's a shame the Fostech Origin didn't come in any cheaper :-(

Had to Google it......Doesn't look as clean and simple as a Vepr

Snayperskaya...how did you replace the stock ?

I think they will look better with a brake on them, especially the 27" ones.
Oleg has ran out of GK-01 Brakes `til end July, if lucky so I might have to wait till then and use the clamp on type.I would need the 27" for birdshot and full choke. 25-30yds with no choke would probably be too far for effect.
