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.

Just reload your own...it's easy enough! And MUCH cheaper...

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

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.
