I have been looking for a .223 Saiga for a while, but all the places I have found are either out of stock or more expensive than a VEPR. Anyone know what is going on? Also, I saw a thread that said check the front page for deals on Saigas, but I only see stuff about accessories... am I missing something?

Has anyone tried to put a Kushnapup stock on a VEPR rifle? I just emailed Kushnapup and they said it may require some modification, so I am wondering what the difference is between a VEPR and a Saiga besides the receiver being a little thicker....

Looks like this will not work with the integrated sights on the VEPR 2, right?

Looking for a synthetic thumb-hole stock with preferably a shorter length of pull. Something like this that would either fit on a vepr slant cut receiver or with an adapter: Adapter: http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1513/VEPR-Wood-Stock-Adapter/Detail Anyone have any ideas?

These look nice, thanks for the heads up!

Hmm, any ideas who sells these? I'm not seeing just synthetic stocks for sale.

I just got a hold of a VEPR with a wooden stock and I was wondering how to take care of it... I am planning to use it for hunting fairly close to the ocean.

Ah, that was just my failed attempt at being funny.

Ah, darn it.. I bought one. Hopefully the 16" is easier to carry around the woods for hunting..

Do you guys think that the 16" barrel is too short for this rifle/caliber?

Does the AK or VEPR do well in rain or will it start rusting immediately? I was looking at buying a Remington XCR (treated stainless steel), but just found out that there are a bunch of VEPRs out for sale around my area. I was wondering how they do in harsh/wet environments.... From what I've read, they have some sort of anti-corrosive finish. How easy is it to scratch and repair? Also, how does the wood stock hold up on the veprs?
