    nice set up with the optic.  can it co witness the sights?  how hard was it to do ?  any how to thread?

    Careful! These wee beasties can sink their fangs deep into your wallet...

    Except for one problem magazine (Thermold 10-round) absolutely reliable with every ammo I've tried.

    I just saw that deal. I wish it would have been around when I was looking. I would say go for it. This is one of the sweetest ak I have. All the positive comments are true. I put a folding stock and sig brace with krink 4 piece flash hider. The folding stock was from usmachinegun.com. Nice add on. The little pistol is Accurate and tons of fun. You won't regret it.

    burntkpowder.   Thank for the heads up.   Yes they were.  I will say that even the regular non bolt hold open mags and magpul reacted the same.   believe me i took my time and filed several strokes fit and repeat. now all mags work with ease.  I am sure that i haven't changed the profile but 1/16 at most.  Only took enough to get smooth release.  still tight no wobble.  Now that i hear this i am glad that i did.  Thanks.

     

    Now i just need more ammo and magpul mags.  waiting to find some steel reinforced for sale.

    Ok! My M92 came in a few days ago. I put the brace with folding stock mount from usmachinegun. I just took it out for a quick spin. Now i see what all the fuss is about. The brace makes it a very soft shooter. this little pistol is way too much fun to shoot. I also put the 4 piece flash hider after seeing comparison video on youtube and rifle dynamics recommendation.

    i was only able to get off about 60 rounds but very nice handling pistol. I think i have found my new favorite. Making it SBR is really appealing but i think the idea of being able to CCW in car or backpack is even more appealing. i can't wait to sight it in 100 yards.

    Now this is what i think i have been wanting from the AK but didn't realize it.

    Very handy!!! glad i listened to the rest you!!!

    i am a little bummed with the last round bolt hold open mags i just picked up. they fight a bit stiff and the mag release was super hard to get to release the mags. I took fine file to mag release and they work great now. the problem is when you pop the mags out with another mag the bottom of the mag pops up and hits the lower hand guard leaving a nice dent. Ugh!!! wanted to try not to ding it up so soon.

    Yeah, I am going to stay with side folder and the brace for now. Still qualifies as pistol so one could easily carry in truck or as one person does in back pack. Don't think there would be much that that combo wouldn't be able handle. Plus you can still reach out at practical distance with ease. 100 to150yds.

     m92 pap why?

     

    I have always been an AK fan. They have come and gone

    I settled for the vepr308 which I enjoy tremendously. I have been itching for another 7.62 x 39. Started looking at the M92 PAP. 

     

    My question Is why. Once you put the brace and a flash hider it is almost as long as standard Ak ands weighs about the same. You also lose the longer sight picture with our on sight. The nominal 200 fps loss is OK with me.

     

    So other than cool factor what is the advantage over a standard barrel length Ak with a folding stock?

    I had the chance to shoot a Remington 700 bolt with the PWS Precision Rifle Compensator. It made that gun feel like my rossi m92 357 with 20 inch barrel. I mean this thing worked with reduced felt recoil. very impressive. I sent a email to PWS to see if they will offer it in 14x 1 LH. I know the Vepr is already a soft shooting .308 but this would turn it into a true pussy cat to shoot and think about picking up speed with follow shots. Sweet!!!

    I have been going back and forth about getting a Ruger gunsite or back to Vepr. I decided to come back to the Vepr after I couldn't find enough verifiable information about using the gunsite scout and steel case ammo.

     

    I figure I already have a Savage 99e 308 lever action so the Vepr was the way to go. I am so glad I did.

     

     

    I had to jerry rig the stock with a an old plastic tapco stock put a slip on limb saver and wrapped DIY favorite tool "duct tape".

    It still had some side to side wiggle but hey it worked. I just wanted to get it out and get it on paper. next I cut the grip of the stock it came with .

     

    this is going to look ugly but I couldn't wait to take it out to the range.

    I began sighting it in at 25-50 and 100 yards respectfully. I had my girl friend calling the hits. The very top dots were because I was thinking of my revolver sights. Turning down thinking the POI would lower. Once I realized the error of my ways, front sight down meant POI was going, up I corrected my POI.

     

    These were at 100yds - Shoot and See 6 inch target, iron sights, stock trigger no polishing, very bright sunny day, 145 grain MFS steel case ammo. I was shooting seated with the hand guard on an x-rest http://www.montiegear.com/X_Rest.html

     

    Not bad for that ammo, old man with bad eyes and a weapon set up that way.

     

    I am one happy puppy. can't wait to get the stock set up correctly.

     

    I traded for a houge grip but I think I may just finish the wood grip and use one of my solid rear stocks.

    Now I get to use all that steel I have with no worries. It also allows me the time to build a stash of 308 brass.

     

    I just need to pick up a few 20 round mags and figure out how to get the thread protector off without bugger it up.

    If anyone wants to Pm me with the down and dirty I would appreciate it.

     

    Perma Grin!!!!

    I would suggest you take it out and shot with the irons before you start adding weight to it. you will be surprised at how well they can shoot that way. you might save yourself some money and keep it light and simple. all that stuff makes it nose heavy and cumbersome to swing into action. g2 trigger easiest way to go (nice trigger once you get used to it) dinzag had them already modified for vepr if you don't want to it yourself.
