jimdigriz 580 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I'm trying to figure out whether any of these VEPR models can be used with >10 round magazines. It seems to me that the one piece wood stock could only count as one foreign part, not as a buttstock and handguard or buttstock and pistol grip and handguard, depending on the case. If that's so, they would have 12 countable parts (2 less than Saiga rifles). Any flaws in my reasoning here? Thanks. VEPR Hunter VEPR Pioneer VEPR Super Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimdigriz 580 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Hmm, it looks like the Pioneer and Hunter models _may_ have one more countable part than I originally thought. This would be a "trigger housing" according to the ATF's definition....I think. Let me know if I'm mistaken. Edited February 10, 2012 by Jim Digriz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Frack, man, just write a letter! Not like it's that hard, and *most* government agents actually like to get "how do I stay legal" questions! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vermiform 26 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm considering one of these Pioneers too. Jim, what did you find out on 922R? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimdigriz 580 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm considering one of these Pioneers too. Jim, what did you find out on 922R? Nothing definitive. Pretty sad that the importers can't give this simple information. They ought to know that this would come up. I agree with csspecs, it looks like 14 parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vermiform 26 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Well, from the looks of that trigger housing, I doubt you could change the trigger, but possibly change hammer, disconnector and piston. That still leaves you one part shy if you want to use foreign high capacity mags. BTW, who has the 7.62x39 Pioneer for sale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If 14 is the correct number, a piston change and a U.S. mag would do the trick. Pretty sure the FCG has no U.S. replacement parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vermiform 26 Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I just may. Who has em in stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimdigriz 580 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I just may. Who has em in stock? I'd ask K-Var if you can pre-order for when the next batch comes in. I was tempted by the 223 Pioneer and by the Hunter in 308. No funds currently, unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
