big_sti 2 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Pics of these guns were posted on the Verp fan page and quickly taken down when people saw the stocks that shipped were very nice and matched the patten on the pistol grip. I know you told us these stocks that shipped would be junk, this is not the case at all. Everyone that saw the pics would much prefer the stock it comes with to a cheap none matching poly stock. Please give us some input here, thanks. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avnate 335 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 These were very nice. Not exactly what I thought they were going to look like. Atlantic are some stand up folks I'm sure they are going to look into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
presto_z 125 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Pics are up on the Vepr Facebook page. They look amazing with the wood stocks. I hope they give us an option to choose what we want. I would love both of mine to have wood stocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
big_sti 2 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think it will devalue the gun putting a non matching poly stock on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oOghostriderOo 14 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Too bad. It would have been nice to have more accurate information on the condition of these stocks a little earlier. Now on to the important question. How can we get the original stocks from who ever takes them off and puts on the polymer stocks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

red_cedar 28 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I think it will devalue the gun putting a non matching poly stock on it? Did you order one from them with the idea that they were going to change out the butt stocks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you order one from them with the idea that they were going to change out the butt stocks? Yes because we were told the factory stock was going to beat a piece of junk.

I heard that to, and ordered it on anyway . if it was all dinged up i was planning on having it professionally restored. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ETA: I think Atlantic does not have the correct info. Otherwise they would let us choose which stock. Misleading info is bad business. Hopefully Atlantic will make us happy.

oOghostriderOo 14 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Atlantic was not being misleading. This is the same information other sellers had. They had no way of knowing for sure how the stocks were going to come in. I do not beleive Atlantic has done anything wrong here. But I still want the wood stock...lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Atlantic will allow us with the original stock option. Yg It is probably too late for that to be a realistic option. After all I'm sure they already have had the polymer stocks paid for and delivered to whomever is installing them. I doubt they want to eat the cost possibly a couple of hundred stocks. I think our only option here is to try and find a way to purchase the original stocks from whomever is installing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
big_sti 2 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm not saying I think we were mislead just that it would be nice to have the option of keeping what looks to be a nice stock and potentially devaluing the gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for me I prefer an adjustable stock (like the AR15 stock). I don't care about devaluing the gun. I will mod it according to my needs and use it accordingly.

self_inflicted 70 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I would like to have the option of at least being able to purchase the wood stock, they do look sharp. V/R S_I Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randyf 35 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Just emaild them and they said no on the stocks that came with them. I originally asked for the poly stock based on the report that the wood stocks were referred to as throw away's by Atlantic Firearms and that they may be in bad condition. I have since asked them to change my order to which they said they "could not " Well... I don't claim to know all the ins and outs of the situation and I am not at this point accusing Atlantic of anything. I will however say this. If these shotguns are being delivered to Atlantic with wood stocks and they can't simply leave the stock on the gun for me then I damned well better not see these same stocks come up for sale on their web site or anywhere else for that matter.

While I agree the stock are in better condition as previously alluded to. I think the deal was already struck and the stocks were/are allocated to do something that they are bound to. They more than likely did not know true condition as no one would till it was delivered. They went on information as best as they could. But in the same breath.... I agree I would not want to see them showing up for sale.... at least give us an option to buy them back first. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thebuns1 4,323 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Hell if I have to, I'll buy a wood stock to put on the fucker. It does look tits. Or maybe try to find some plum clothes for it. ETA: Im just glad we're getting them in the US with a somewhat factory setup.

Koljec 37 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 This is what Atlantic posted: On the laminate stock option the stock would be mixed colors and mixed conditions meaning you could get a real beat up pinkish red wood stock on a all black gun with black plastic hanguard. The stock were originally designed to be cheap throwaways thinking that once in the US the importer would install a US folder stock etc. We thought it would be better to at least have a matching black buttstock on the top of the line gun rather than a beat up mixed mathched wood stock. Please keep in mind this is our opinion and some people may like the oddball wood stock. Sounds like you can keep the wood option. I'd rather have wood in any condition than plastic. I can refinish wood, but plastic is kinda meh forever. RPK stocks are not cheap, either, and there aren't so many sources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ordered with the idea that i could choose whatever stock i wanted, and i choose wood. Then you did well. I ordered with poly and now they wont allow me to change my mind apparently because they have already paid for the poly stocks. They did not say why I could not change so just a guess at this point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
