I bought this VEPR three months ago on gunbroker for $925 (http://www.gunbroker...?Item=181083036). It is in excellent condition. The only signs of wear are a light line under the safety selector (inevitable on these type rifles) and a bit of wear on the paint by the muzzle. See the pictures. The gun has had about 500 rounds in total fired through it (less than 400 by previous owner and four or five boxes of ammo by me). The VEPR is based on the Russian RPK machine gun receiver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPK), and the metal is 50% thicker (1.5 vs 1.0 mm) than a standard stamped receiver. T

i believe a pistol grip equipped s-12 is a no-no in jersey ... but not a thumbhole stock. here is a conversion kit: http://www.mississip...tock-p-912.html The jury is still out on the legality of the thumbhole stock. I am checking with a knowledgeable NJ FFL. It must be nice to live in America.

I have been considering it. I am in Jersey, and here any autoloading shotgun that has a pistol grip or holds more than 6 rounds in a magazine is considered an assault weapon. I was trying to figure out if a non-converted Saiga 12 is worth getting. I did do a conversion on a Saiga 223, and that was a piece of cake. It is a fun rifle.
