So recently I got a Vepr 12 because I'd like a semi auto 12g mag fed shotgun and the fimegroup was having a promotion/rebate.
Today was the time I shot it, around 200 rounds of Winchester 3 dram bird shot with the aluminum base.
No jams whatever.
I smoothed out all the context points in the gun with some 1000 grain sand paper and also worked the bolt 200 times before I shot and I lived it up with oil and moly grease.
The problem I have is that the stock is loose and creaky. You can move It just a little bit from side to side and there is a very audible creak to it. Another thing is that the magwell is also just light lightly loose and the mag doesn't pop out like it used to. Before I had shot it today I had hit the mag release and the magazine would spring from the magwell a good 6 inches. Now it doesn't at all. Also the bolt release is very stiff.
Anyone know why this might be?
Also while at the range I collected a whole bag of brass. Must weight like 10 pounds, maybe more.
Lots of 9mm and 30-06 and 223 and some 45 and 30-30.
Collected every seen piece of brass I could.

Yes. Same model except longer barrel, 22.5 vs 18.5.
Lol there was this group of people at the range and there was this mother and daughter.
The daughter was like 9 and at the pistol range shooting a co2 powered BB gun. 9mm brass EVERYWHERE and I picked it all up. I was crawling on my knees around the booths picking it up and I think the little girl was a bit annoyed by that.
I would have also gotten some lead out of the dirt mounds but it rained earlier and it was wet.
This is a public outdoor range.

try not to use CLP or thin lubricant on AKs, they really love thicker stuff like LSA and run noticably smoother
re-attach the stock with some glue/loctite
no idea with the magwell but it's probably due to it being an actual mag-well with looser tolerances made for easier reloading. wouldnt worry about it unless it affects feeding

There should be two screws in the vepr stock - one in the "pistol grip" area, and then one right above where the slant connects. Make sure they're tight. They have a tendency to loosen while firing.
Long term I'd recommend just replacing the stock unless you like the thumbhole.

I was using this automotive thick moly grease with some vegetable oil.
Why is it moving from side to side and creaking though? Is the wood where the screws go in damaged?
I could just switch this out to a tubular stock or a side sold at but I really like the rubber back padding on this stock plus don't want to spend 200 extra on it.
I'd like the stock to last indefinitely.
What about the mag issue? Used to basically spring out and not it doesn't.
