rs51085 136 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 So after reading several other threads about magazines i have decided to compile some images of the different magazines that could possibly work for the vepr 12. and when i say work i mean with the LRBHO as well. factory molot magwell mags- this will definitely work! legion 030 magwell mags- these are supposedly supposed to work in the vepr 12 according to some overseas users. SGM 030 magwell mags as one guy on this forum has shown these for the most part work correctly with the saiga 030s, anybody know if they will work on the vepr 12? S12 mags modifed for SGM or JTE magwells- i actually have a jte magwell and like it so i am hoping that the new vepr 12 i have on order will take the mags i already have for the JTE magwell, but i have no idea. and it looks like the follower maybe different. i know the pictures don't show a lot of detail but for the most part they appear the same to me. i am sure some of our business members have some knowledgeable insight. so what do you guys think?

steveUK 9 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Great post, but what I would love is a list of mags that will fit the Vepr 12 and where to get them in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayLT4 18 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 SGM has stated that they will have VEPR-specific magazines ready for them very soon after the VEPR-12's are shipped to the public. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rs51085 136 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Wish I could help steve but I have no idea. I would think it would be easier for you to get them in the UK than we can here in the US. And I can't wait to try the vepr 12 sgm mags out. I did not include them on the list because I couldn't find a picture of them. The wait for these guns and mags is killing me! I wonder how close they will be to the 030 mags?

sunnybean 939 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Steve, Did you look at Rusmilitary? I can't link them, they are not a business member. Last time I checked they had V12 8rd mags. Be prepared to shell out some serious £££. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PapaZorro 401 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Today, on Moscow International Exhibition ARMS & Hunting 2012, I spoke with Chief Constructor of Molot Mr Sergey Urzhumtsev about Vepr-12 magazine interchangeability, and Sergey told me that Vepr-12 mags MUST fit to Saiga-12 with mag-well such Saiga-12-30 and vice versa. He added that on early production of Vepr-12 Molot didn't have their own magazine press form so they sold Vepr-12 with Saiga-12 mags made by IZMASH! Problem of Vepr-12 /Saiga-12 with magwell magazine interchangeability is a problem of exact mags made by MOLOT/IZMASH and QC during their production. Good quality mags are 100 % interchangeable. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

traintrax 12 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Any word on whether the Vepr-12 LRBHO will work with the Saiga-12-30 magazines? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PapaZorro 401 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Any word on whether the Vepr-12 LRBHO will work with the Saiga-12-30 magazines? Certainly, yes, if you mean mags made by IZMASH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dec 8 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Any decent US source for these Saiga 12 mag well style magazines? I honestly could care less about LRBHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iteachsurfing 50 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) Could Stock Saiga 5 round magazines be modified to function reliably in the Vepr12 ???

Thanks IMHO better to buy that fix, then modify that does not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For example; http://www.keepshoot...<!--NoParse1--> Dose anyone have one of these and Izzy mag for side by side comparison. If this and the izzy works fine in saiga I do not see a reason for it not to work in Vepr. And now we know that izzy will work with Vepr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunnybean 939 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Xgobudx, We're talking Izzy magwell mags, not rock and lock like you have pictured. The rock and locks can be modified to work, but there are better options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a link on how lokmeup modified his AGP mags to work... http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/76816-iz-433-magwell-and-magazine-fitting/ Depends on what you want. If I wanted a low cap mag and LRBHO wasn't a big deal I would look at cutting down a SGM magwell mag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dec 8 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm all in on that mod. I have a mill and I could care less about LRBHO, especially for a cheap source for mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
