My all new VEPR 12

[Paulyski 2,227]

 

I don't know the proper name of this part in English I'd say is the head of the bolt.Note it is a 2 piece part, the front piece rotates, thing that don't happen in my .410, dunno if the Saiga 12's got it like that or it is one piece part.

 

 

At the risk of being accused of necro-posting & for the slight possibility of you reading this, the picture is what we call the bolt.

The larger piece that it slides into is referred to as the bolt-carrier. And yes, we have multi-segmented rotating bolts just like that one.

 

I really do want one of those.

But doesn't everyone?...

Yea, an old thread... The reason I wanted to move to Greece for the last 2 years...

 

Think about that. Did you miss the news of the Greek riots, (and EU economic bailout), this year? Greece is falling apart due to their idiotic, unsustainable socialist policies, and I have a terrible feeling that we're, (the US), headed there ourselves before too long.

I'm at a loss here. The train left, and I was on the thing.

 

What country are you in, and where'd you buy that baby, and how much did you pay?

 

Update:

 

Country: oh, duh, you're from Greece. How is that you can have quality toys like that in Greece and we, one of the most powerful countries in the world, can't get quality weapons unless we pay boo-koo bucks? Something is ass-backwards here...

 

On a side note, my great-grandparents were Greek-nationals, so it doesn't surprise me that Greece friggin' rocks.

 

Do you have to have any special permits or licenses in Greece to own one of those, or can any civilian own one?

 

DAMN, that's cool!

 

It's smoothbore, so for Greece is just a hunting shotgun, so you can own it like a civilian.However there are directions from the European Union about smoothbore guns with military/tactical look and use.In fact we have here an AK mechanism that is DE-modified to make it semi-auto and with some other differences from the total tactical models.I don't know exactly the direction, but I think it might say that if it can be modified easily, it shouldn't be imported.Dunno.

Now about the prices.Think about it.How much did you payed for your Saiga? I payed 500 warm Euros back in 2004 when I bought a .410.The Barnaul .410 slugs cost 8 euros for a box of 10.It cost 800 for a new S12.Do the calculations and see how much money is it in your currency.Also from the prices I saw recently, a Walther P99 goes like 600 Euros and a Beretta 92 can be found for 1200.In a country that the average salary is like 600 Euros, the thing is more than obvious.

What do you mean "Quality guns" ?I don't know about the guns people prefer in the States, but I'm pretty sure that USDM guns like Colt, S&W, Winchester, Browning and stuff like that are much cheaper than this side of the ocean, and also I believe they pretty much are "Quality guns".

 

True, but Colt, S&W, Remington, Springfield, and such don't make QUALITY S-12s. We get bastardized "sporter" S-12s that don't work with our ammunition so we have to work on them before they are "quality"... That's what I would have meant if I had made the same statement.
