No. It's literally a Russian AK, with heavier barrel and receiver like those in RPKs. Many parts are similar or directly compatible.
The slant-cut back of the receiver is the biggest difference here, but there's an adapter.

All in all, VEPRs are top-tier AK rifles. I love my .308 Win one.

What furniture and slant back adapter is that? Looks good.

>>32249116

Only parts that would be hard if not impossible to find are bolt carriers and bolts for the .308 and 54r. Molot has been saying for years replacement parts were on the way but i never seen any so i quit looking for extractors for my .308.

Seems kinda on topic.

Is the Vepr 12 decent with the wood stock furniture or is the foldable stock better? seems if you want the fold stock it's like an extra 500$.

Does anyone know a good price to get one? Atlantic fire has the wood for 800

Last question, am I stuck with just a 10 round magainze or can I put a drum on it?

idk... not a fan of the slant back. several years ago they were importing the 12 with a flat back with black stained wood and a pistol grip. They were beautiful guns and i wish i would have bought one i think they were $700.

Vepr.org has a user who did a production run of 308 extractors and is in the us. Search him out there. No luck on a replacement bolt though... I've been looking

>>32249835
They're starting to import flat backed ones again, limited amounts though.

>>32250216

yeah i bought one and it didnt work

>>32249990
foldable stock one is discontinued now from what i gather, and will cost you alot more than the $800 it was before it was replaced with the standard sporter stock version with the angled cut in the lower reciever. obviously this vepr cut makes you go out of your way to put standard AK stocks and grips on it, and looks bad when you do.

Opinion on a different shotgun then? The 25 drum is pretty enticing.

I like the vepr but I don't feel like getting fucked up the ass just because some sellers still have theirs and reselling just to price gouge.Atlantic has the fold stock for 1200

>>32250260

the folding stock Vepr's are back in stock

>>32250320
So then the wood furnitire is garbage?

>>32250369

It's heavy, you can buy a slant back adapter and put a real AK stock on it but it will always look stupid. I don't think i could bring myself to pay $500 extra for the folder though.

>>32249116
might be on topic

Cosmetics aside, how big of a deal is it not being able to accept standard AK mags? Is it worth the trouble or would you rather just get a wasr for about the same price?

I heard it's an easy comversion but I am scared of drilling holes in a nice rifle.

>>32250320
uh, yeah for $1200. didnt say they were all gone theyre just limited edition rare discontinued models now that they can slap 50% onto.

they were $800 a few months back just like the sporter ones are now

Pretty sure the folders listed there are new imports. When Molot imported the first Vepr12's they were pretty much all folding stocks and they were cheap. Molot was pissed off because they were loosing a lot of money because apparently they were quite a bit more expensive to make.

Then when those dried up we started getting fixed tube stock Vepr 12's and a lot of people were pissed off because they could not remove it and run a standard AK stock.

Well now the folders are back along with a jacked up price tag. And the fucking slant cut sumbitches that they should have just made flat back.
