draftpick 5 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 A couple places have Vepr bolt on hand guard retainers and I contacted CSS by email and greg said they would fit. The regular AK hand guards I have seen seem to be to small for the larger vepr barrel. I know that wood can be sanded out to make it fit, but I'm looking for a polymer with a heat shield for my vepr. Has anyone tried a standard polymer Ak hand guard on a Vepr? Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krebs Custom 1 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Since a VEPR rifle is based on an RPK rifle (with a thicker, heavier barrel), and not a standard AK, standard AK fore-end furniture won't fit. Brian Krebs Custom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MindRiot 83 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 SGM tactical has a bolt on lower and I've successfully trimmed out some plastic lowers without heat shields Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SGM 217 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Our 20 gauge tri-rail fits if you trim the polymer tab that goes into the receiver. you may have to re locate the swivel hole as well. but works great on the vepr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wish someone would have told me that I should have used the 20 gauge, had to do a lot of trimming on the 7.62x39 tri rail, and not real happy with how it fits. Where the front hand guard bolts on, it sits lower than the barrel and had to trim out a lot to make it fit level and it's still not prefect. Does the 20 gauge not have the support rib that sticks up on the inside running down the middle?

Brian Krebs Custom Yes standard hand guards are not drop in, but wood hand guards will fit with a little sanding on the inside to fit the thicker barrel Edited August 30, 2012 by draftpick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
