yep, its overall in very good shape, some exterior pitting on a small area of the barrel under the wood and on part of one side of the magazine. The wood is in good shape.

I dont think that gun likes you, i think i heard it say it wants to come live with me

OK, while the gun might not be C&R, the round is.. 7.62x54R, my buddy is a combat photgrapher , he brought his work camera (Nikon 4Ds) to the range and took come pics of us shooting the Vepr. figured the pics were def worth posting here.

That sure looks like a lot of fun OCJ!

We need to get you and the rifle to a Hooligan shoot... We have plenty of 7.62x54R ammo...

Me too, let me know when and where, I have to open a new tin but i have about 13 tins left

That gun put a smile on everyones face... except for anyone within 20 yards to the right that is getting pelted by hot cases.

What range is that?

Those pics really make me want a Vepr!!! I'd love to take it deer hunting

Range

i do want my own private range so bad!

Well, I'd feel safe saying....You and at LEAST EVERY OTHER GUY on here would like to have their own range...hahahhaahaha :-) I used to have so much fun shooting tin cans, jugs, all kinds of stuff on open property. Rapid fire, double taps......range's are usually boring to me now.......

I always drool over the 54R Vepr when I see them. I really want one. But at dang near 900 bucks........ I dunno.

I know, it was hard for me but the cartridge was the key for me, knowing the ammo is dirt cheap still right now, I bough the gun then ran out and bought 5 cases more to add to my stash.

Warning on the 54R Mags...

Molot mags work fine.

SGM Mags... if you have a 10 round mag, load 8 and so forth, the springs are soooo strong it keeps the mags from working correct. I actually decided yesterday to load the mags and leave them loaded for a bit, hoping next time out the spring is a little weaker/ broken in.

They make a drum for it.. But.. No one ever seems to have it.

That's another thing.... 5 round mags seem like a tease. 10 is better, but I would want at least 15!

I wish Saiga had made a 54R. I got a 7.62x39 and LOVE it, and it was 299.99 3-4 years ago.

Nice pix, Oldcarjunkie! Love them fireballs!

On the flip side, the sling swivel burnt the shit out of me putting it back into the rack

Also remember these are single stack mags.. the bigger you go it will start looking like a 40 round mag in a Ak
