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.

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.
I didn't as I haven't got one........it's Breacher that has one

Stock removal was easy enough.
I found the part needed via a Russian website.

Is the barrel fitted on RusMilitary's ones the minimum length required by law ? (sry I know nothing about UK shotgun laws).

Min barrel here is 24" on a semi auto. From factory its 27" but they do other versions for other markets as short as 15".
Oleg does the 24" inc brake as does C&G I believe. The brake is welded on to become part of the 24".

Thanks VM for the info . Sounds like that Olef fellow does the best possible given the UK law then .
I had a very enjoyable taster with a Spas 15 but when I look the picture you posted hunting some T-Rex with your Vepr, there is no comparaison ... I recently smashed my gun piggy bank with a sledge hammer Mojlnir size but still so irresistibly lust over them ...
Please ... Any volunteers to start a UK "3 guns" section in the Czech Rep so I can fully justify the acquisition of a similar shorty with a clear conscience ??

Froggy is it true that in France you have have most things including center fire semi rifles but not pump action shotguns (but mag fed semis are ok)? I seem to recall someone saying that. Is it true?

I don't know about the new legislation but it used to be kinda similar to the UK, ie :
A pump action/semi auto with a shortish barrel and/or capacity of more than 2 rounds was deemed a restricted firearm available only to licenced shooters. Acquisition was possible but would be included in the quota of the only 7 centre fire allowed.
A long barrel with 2+1 rounds capacity was a "hunting" gun available to all hunting licence holders with no restriction for numbers owned.

Breacher..have you shot yours with birdshot yet, 5`s or 6`s size, I need to know if its any good for steel plates at 25-30yds before I commit to having one cut to 24" with a brake on.
