  1. The latest version i believe doesn't have iron's as standard.I went with a Meprolight m21 for competition use as there's very little to go wrong (i got fed up of throwing away broken optics and flat batteries) but its nice to have the backup just in case.
  2. I repeat again ALL Al version has steel insert, glued to Al Body. You can also glue steel insert with loctite to barrel. To remove MB after loctite, you'll need high temp. Glueing with loctite would not unfortunately be considered a permanent fix in the uk. Welding or brazing/silver soldering is the only thing that would be allowed. You still can weld steel insert to the barrel and pin and loctite aluminum body to welded steel insert, IMHO it's better then to pin the barrel. After all be done your GK-01 will we be compleatly none removable. Still looking into this and have foun
  3. Damn you would love my 27" UK special i'm using it to dry the washing on at the moment
  4. The Vepr recoil seems to drop quite considerably once its run in a bit,it was def a teeth rattler to start with and now after about 500 its only slightly heavier than my Saiga was.
  5. The factory is nice and the little side rails are great to hang your thumb over with an AFG
  6. If they are the same as the UK fixed stock you won't be converting 'em back its solid weld.
  7. Pliers around a piece of rag on the gas block lever works ok and stops it getting dinged up,also about 500 rounds through mine and not a mark on the trunnion.
  8. Not taken it to a gun smith (no cash atm) though i have spoken to a few and might have a possible way of doing it .pin it to the barrel using steel pins through the brake body then tig weld over the top of the pins to make them none removable.
  9. I've got one from Oleg m8 , The barrel does need chopping back a bit to make it perfect.There are 3 options chop it back to 24" and get it threaded for a polychoke(which will add a couple back on) do the same thing but chop it back further and permanently fix the polychoke on (this will add about 1" over because you can't count the removable bit of the choke) and 3 Buy a Molot Gk-01 brake get the barrel chopped WAY back and re threaded internally for your original chokes and then get your brake permanently attached. You will need a long handled choke tool but they are easy enough to make.

    thumb safety?

    The left hand Vepr safety is gawd awful anyway the adapted AK one on the right works great though.
  11. Which optic is it they are using in the video that can be used with both eyes open? All of 'em
  12. I've got both Saiga and a Vepr, both in original Russian configuration (long barrel for uk though) After shooting the Vepr i'm putting the Saiga up for sale its that good.Its the Saiga,after you've spent 12 months of work and a hell of a lot of cash on it straight out the box but with more attention to detail on every part. $1000? buy it ,buy 2 if you can its worth it these things are going to be sort after for sure. I love my Saiga and have spent a lot of time and money on it its a great gun but the Vepr is just better. Oh even the Russian folder stock works well with an op
  13. Didn't get chance to try it on the shoot too busy however the Vepr ran 28g flawlessly no fte or ftf out of 4 boxes.Tried a few 30g reloads no issues will run it in a while and see what the lowest loads it will cycle reliably.
  14. Too much slop at the rear of the follower removed the plastic chunk and used a expansion slot blank from the back of a pc folded over at the top and screwed into the rear of the follower body.Packs out the follower nicely and locates onto the bho perfectly (after much fiddling) Reliably hand cycles ejects etc. Can't use the bolt drop button due to tension (thought about trimming the follower spring but i want the follower final position more) but as I'm using my trigger hand its fine dropping the bolt manually. I will try and post a few piccies after some proper range use tomorrow (if
  15. Err you can't of course fix the follower it needs to move to allow the bolt to release ><
  16. Just received my Vepr this week and its looking like a massive step up from my Saiga can't wait to use it at a comp Just a small note after modding a surefire 12 to fit in the magwell i found out the feed angle combined with the bolt hold open would make it a huge pita to work reliably. However the surefire follower sits low enough to make loading directly through the ejection port a breeze. Ive cut mine down at the first "rib" and trimmed the spring (you could permanently fix it i'd guess) Ive then fixed a small plastic tab to the top of the follower with 2 part epoxy to get the bol
  17. I will happily trade my 8 rounder for a drum
  18. Ok i can see this is just gonna go around and around so can i enquire does anyone know if any of the stores who stock the md20 export to the uk? i dont mind a wait if it takes it to get the paperwork sorted (the price is gonna hurt but ill live with it) But theres one thing guys...lay off the coffee please, whatever you may have heard the u.k is not chockful of terrorists,there are less guns here yes and the few of us lucky enough to own them (myself and wife included) have to go through rigorous checks and approval to be allowed to do so.I have spoken to Mike in the past several times,he
  19. Err wow i never expected this kind of response... Just for the record i am a holder of a uk firearms licence which allows me to own a shotgun with an unlimited capacity.As was posted above the problem is actually managing to locate a drum without paying an absolute fortune for it (same with the agp mags) I was hoping to get someone to ship a 2nd hand one for the same reasons.I would never ask any forum member to break ANY law to achieve this.I believe that shipping the drum as a "gift" would not be unlawful, however i may be incorrect on this. As for my bona fides i could post a copy of
  20. Now that Mikes gonna be supplying the double stack mags anyone willing to ship a drum over to the u.k? If anyones interested in seriously making my xmas merry please send me a personal message
  21. One here from the midlands.Another Oleg customer Oh and theres one other at my club. Took her sporting clay bashing yesterday much mickey taking as usual until i started dusting the 50 yard mini The look on their faces when i said i bought it for flushes,and then whipping out the 10 rounder was truly priceless!
  22. Took mine out yesterday to the clays....totally obliterated em! Taking em out to about 40 yards on cylinder using homeload 30g 6's.This is using a 24" "original" setup with Olegs svds stock.Found the trick to be use the whole sight "surround" not just the post. Best moment was when the trapper doubled em up as a surprise by tucking mini's underneath the clays....and smashing 3 of em in one shot and dusting the last 1 sec later Got to hand to my missus though only her second time shooting clays (bought her an old berretta 56E) and she dusted some pairs very nicely! She got the hump wh
  23. Heheh ask Oleg from Rusmil i know he can cos his local clay shoot made him

    Finally Here

    Finally got my ticket through last friday and picked up my Saiga from Oleg the next morning! Got the taktika 3 off his website with the 15% offer (ok i know its a lot compared to you lucky folks over the pond but we are limited to a massive dealership pool of err one) Never expected at 8.30 am to be learning how to strip and reassemble an ak Fired my first slugs the next day to break it in......attracted a few people on the range to see what the racket was Cycled all of em with no problems.Have to say off a bench rest wow thats quite a punch but oddly the last 5 standing rapid fire fel
