I did not fully strip the head on mine, but it did get some wear on it. Looks funny without a grip right now. Hoprfully my Magpul shows up soon.

I will certainly do that. I like the factory grip, but need some good old 922 parts and had some spare amazon cash so went for it. At $15 it will not be a total loss if i hate it.bshould be here in a couple days i hope. Thanks again for the help.

I removed the stock grip in about 20 minutes with minimal effort. I had to be creative since I have a jacked up shoulder. Here is what worked for me. I got my took kit and drill out. Chose the widest and thickest flat head bit that would fit into the slot head on the factory bit. Instead of using the long drive attachment and creating extra distance i used the 1/4" socket driver which fits the bits pretty well and is short enough to minimize the distance between the bit and drill. This essentially negated any chance of wobble. I turned it to the highest torque setting and SLOWLY!!!! began

I loved the 10/12 round drums. They are much smaller and easier to handle than stick mags of the same capacity and work jus as well. Would only go MD for a twenty round drum though. "Best" stick mags thus far are factory and they come in 5 and 8 round capacity. All other sticks are almost based on preference and experience. I personally only ran SGM mags, but others had bad experiences with them and like other brands for the same reason i preferred SGM. Good luck with your choices

I am ordering mine as I type. Love it at $15 from Amazon, and already have a spare CR123 core for battery storage.

I do not have it yet, but my choice is a Trijicon RMR. They are rock solid and multiple rectile choices so you can pick which works best for your application. No worrying about turning off, recoil damage, or batteries dying or being damaged in extreme cold.

They do use grip cores according to Magpul (i trust they know what they are talking about :-) ordering one for my VEPR today. Did it come with a screw or did you need to buy one?

Will these work on a VEPR 12?

I would certainly shoot eery different ammo you have available to you. I made the mistake as a "new to semi auto shotguns" owner and assumed it was similar to an AR, but addig parts changed it a lot. A fellow forum member educated me and i have learned the error of my ways. I do love some sccessories since i am "Tactical Timmy" all day :-)

I plan to get one, and have a reserve on the ps4, but am still torn on which i am wanting. It is silly that we have not seen much concrete info on something we are dropping hundreds of dollars on. Hopefully some solid video previews drop inthe next few weeks.

Do you know if these work worh standard AR grip cores? Am i correct to assume this would work on a VEPR 12? I personally like the ergonomics of the MOE+ but the standard grips are very good also.

Here is the best advice you will get for quite some time on your Saiga. DO NOT SLAP A BUNCH OF PIECES ON IT PRIOR TO SHOOTING IT!!!!!!! See how it runs as stock as it is now. Then slowly add all your accessories. This way if something creates issues you know exactly what it is and you do not have to strip it and guess a lot.

Where are you located? If you are over seas it is not that we do not export, bit that we legally can not. We have silly laws that do not allow us to send things outside our borders. Violation by corporations or individuals is punishable by jail time/ fines/ prosecution/ and persecution in most cases. I would love to send some wanted parts to a person from europe in exchange for some quality "foreign" parts, but may arrive with the mail wearing a badge and gun is not worth it. I do find it ironic that parts made for a firearm (Saiga/ VEPR) of foreign origins can not be sent to where

Is this show and tell, or just show? Watched the video and you look to have accomplished a nice magwell conversion to a standard drum.

This may be no help what so ever, but more an observation from a previous auto plug owner who had the same issue. I had a Saiga prior to my VEPR and it would run almost any ammo I put in it, to include under powered crap. I purchased an Auto plug to keep me from having to adjust the gas system because I liked shooting all kinds of mixed loads and did not want lots of premature wear from over gassing. Once installed it would never work properly. Even bottomed out, as you describe, I could not get it to "tune" to light loads. I even went to hotter light loads and no luck. I took it out and hande

NFPA requires cotton because it does have a rating against burning. Poly blends melt when exposed to heat and therefore have no falmmability resistant rating. It is very common to see firefighters in woodland situations in jeans and the woodland coat with heavy boots. In unlaid areas of the country where budgets are limited and volunteers are the primary source of fire extinguishment jeans are even more common and can even be seen in structural firefoghting such as room and content fires. I have worked as a volunteer and career/DOD firefighter (always structural) and we tested jeans against no

If no weld bead is present it sounds like loctite to me. I will hope for your sake it is only blue and you dont have to use your entire "foul mouth" repertoire.

If not welded it is probably loctite affixed. Red loctite is insanely hard to remove. Heat and bad words will be necessary. Blue loctite is more commonly used and easier to remove than red, but by no means easy to remove. Will require less heat and fewer bad words. Someone with a lot more experience using loctite can help more with that. A weld is usually easy to identify since there would be some sort of bead or at least a spot weld which also would be easy to identify. You spoke of a perm break, but even that seems like it would have to been welded on, which would have that bead or spot

They would sell well, but the number of VEPR shotguns and magwell S-12, as much as we know, are very limited. I could only imagine spending my companies whole R&D budget for the year on a magwell drum, plus investing the time and effort, only to complete a high quality product in time for some crazy ban and me being stuck with boxes of them that I could not sell or use personally. That is the climate of two manufacturers who have spoke on the topic so far. Hopefully after the 2014 elections we will have a better look at what the future will look like and alleviate some of the worry of manu

I believe we have some vendors contemplating a VEPR drum, but no one has jumped into it ass deep yet. With the constant looming fear of Hi-cap bans and such no one wants to be buried in R&D costs that they can neer recoved. Somewhere else Cameron from Chaos and the gentleman from CSS SPECS magazine manufacturers explained the cost to develop a working and good quality magazine and it was stifling. High five to six figures if you have the necessaey equipment and are just making molds. Hard to blame them for being hesitant. I have kicked around cutting one of my VEPR factory five round

It is a US made FCG by Arsenal. I have no desire to do any modifications to parts to make them fit. I will go with the CSS drop in kit and not sweat it then. Thanks

Will an Arsenal FCG for a S12 work in a VEPR as a drop in replacement? Anyone know what the difference is between it and the Tapco, if any? Found them for $40 and i was highly interested if it will work without modification.

I keep everything in pairs. Seems reasonable to me, gives me a very nice and well rounded collection, and the wife thinks two is much more reasonable than several. Then if one breaks i still have one until it is repaired or replaced. The recent XDS recall is a perfect example. I still have my XDM .45 until i gets back to me. My shotguns are now my favortie as of this week. I added a KSG to my VEPR 12 as its second. The best made US 12 gauge and the best russian 12 sitting side by side is a beautiful thing. Best part is i got the KSG brand new for less than the VEPR.

I smoked for about 12 years and have been quit for about 5. Initially went cold turkey and my wife (girlfriend at the time) threw a pack of cigarettes at me and told me to smoke or she was leaving. Two weeks later I started the patch and it gave me the ability to make it. What made it really bad was I was a patrol officer at the time and everyone in my zone smoked so I had to avoid them outside like the plague. I am convinced that a cigarette is worse than crack, laced with heroin, and soaked in meth as far as addictive properties. I have been walking outside and get a whiff of someones c

Damn the bad luck. I, a lefty, got all excited over the prospect of a left side ejecting VEPR.
