Why the Vepr is better than the average AK

Hammer-Forged, Chrome-Lined, Heavy Barrel. Most durable AK Barrels Made.

Hammer Forging is a process whereby the lands and grooves of the barrel are formed by hammering the barrel material against a mandrel. This process not only creates sharp and well defined lands and grooves but also leaves an excellent surface finish on said surfaces. An additional benefit is that the barrel material becomes work hardened. The chrome plating helps prevent against wear and corrosion. We don't believe you can buy a better barrel on any rifle.

Rifles based on Kalashnikov's operating system have not been known for their exceptional accuracy. The renowned AK47 rifle was designed to function flawlessly in all environments and temperatures. In other words, functionality was more important than accuracy. However, because the VEPR has a stiffer receiver than the AK47, better accuracy can be expected.

Most Accurate. Consistently better groups than other AKs.

True RPK Receiver. Stiffer and longer wearing than any other AK receiver. Made for Soviet Squad Automatic Weapon.

The VEPR costs more for a reason - It is simply the finest Kalashnikov based rifle available in the U.S. market

here is a Vepr 7.62x39mm converted by Red Jacket Firearms ( Sons of Guns ) Available as well .

What do you guys think?? I hope to get out & shoot one soon , If I do I will be sure to come back with a full range report....

VEPR AK's are the nicest AK's ever made IMHO, they really are spectacular, and very accurate. I regret selling mine years ago.

The only complaint I have is the cheap paint finish, but as long as gunscrubber is avoided the finish holds up fine.

My big complaint is mags, but I could overlook that for the 7.62*54R variant.

Thats what I thought too... I would do one in X54R... I would think they are pretty pricey, though..

 

[rob-cubed]

Excellent rifles, heavy for an AK (based on the RPK heavy barrel and trunnion, and 1.5 mm receiver) but if you want an accurate AK, this is it. One of the only AKs worth mounting a POSP scope on.

I'm holding out for a 5.45. Now if only someone like Robarms would make conversion furniture again... though I hear Red Jacket will be offering converted versions soon through Atlantic.

I've been drueling over the RJF VEPR now for about a week...they look like Souped Up Saiga's!!!

 

[hairba111]

My souped up Saiga will do for now but I'm tempted.

SERIOUSLY!!!!! I think I can build that with my Saiga. come to think of it I just might

 

[hairba111]

Mine has all the above except for the receiver.

You need to buy a MAK already, and convert your Saiga.

I converted my Saiga, check my images.

slant back + 10 rd max = no go for me.

 

[clandestine]

The 7.62x39 guns are not 10 round guns.

Yep Atlantic already has some in stock! I mentioned it in my first post .. they feel & look GREAT!

Can the Vepr be made to accept standard AK magazines like a Saiga?

Yes sir ..

 

[Minuteman]

Wow, looks good. What's the ideal caliber?

Hmmmm..That is a good question .. I'm going to look into that .

I'm a big fan of AK's in 7.62x39mm .. after that I think I like .308's .. but That has nothing to do with the question ....lol

 

[rob-cubed]

Good deal for now. The Robarms furniture is nice and who knows if it'll ever be available again. I'd prefer another Robinson conversion over the newer RJF tacticool VEPRs with rails and skeleton stock. But it's a good AK no matter how you dress it up.
