MAKAK47 21 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 THANK YOU FOR THAT! Now I'm really excited that I ordered one, it looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeromat209 24 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 The Bonesteel VEPR 12 AR Folder is in! Very tight and solid fit for the receiver. A+ I opted for the cheekweld when unfolded and am aware that the cheekweld width of the STR exceeds the limit for the the locking mechanism to engage (threw this on for pics). The first screw that goes into the nut inside the receiver wasn't long enough, so I'll be following up on getting a longer screw (not visible in the pics and not a big problem). Looks Sweeet !! good news is you can easily change the butt stock if tyou find you need a higher cheek riser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vette447 11 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Great pics. Especially the Russians. I really want the original Russian folding stock, handguards and gas block for mine. Would love to be able to find those!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Muffman 54 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Most annoying mod ever. I probably could have widdled an RPK handguard out of a block of wood in the same amount of time. Lots of cutting with a pocket knife, and dremeling made it possible. It comes with a rail on the left and right side, but you need to mod it even further to be able to have both rails attached at the same time. I planned on using only one rail anyway and taking the other side of regardless. It is an MFT Tekko grip. I didn't want the top railed handguard, so purchased a US made plain smooth top handguard. This was plan from the begining, which once again worked out because the lower handguard had to be modded so much that the top railed handguard would no longer be compatible with it.

Muffman 54 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Muffman what is the mod you are talking about? Sorry if was confusing, was sleepy when I wrote that. The mod is making a MFT Tekko hanguard fit on the Vepr 12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice work Muffman! 3 Questions: 1) Is it polymer or rubbery? 2) Where did you get the upper handguard and is it polymer or rubbery as well? 3) Will the Tekko upper hanguard (with the rail on top) fit or does it require modding also? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muffman 54 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks! 3 Answers: 1. Polymer and US made. 2) I bought it from Ultimak, it is US made. It is polymer. 3) It will not fit because it attaches to 2 holes in the lower handguard. Those holes are like tubes in the lower handgaurd that have to be cut out for the barrel to fit inside. If enough people are interested I can do a write up on this. I think for both lower and upper handguard I am still < $50. This took me quite a lot of time and alchohol to figure out. Someone with less alchohol, better tools, and a write up could do it in probably less than half the time it took me. Also this is a crappy picture. This link gives you a better idea of what it looks like. http://jerkingthetrigger.com/blog/2012/11/15/review-mission-first-tactical-tekko-ak47-integrated-rail-system/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that a Primary Arms? You going to chop the barrel/perm attach? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muffman 54 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) Thanks!! That is a primary arms, however will be an Eotech very shortly. I decided to go with an m4 stock because I have always wanted a shotgun with an Eotech RDS. I was planning on chopping the barrel and permanently attaching a brake, however I have commitment issues. I plan on skeet shooting some with her, and I am really interested in playing with chokes. I also would like to see how much a flash hider will tame the flames at night. My ideal set up would be a tax stamp so I can have a shorter barrel and still swap out my muzzle attachments. I'm thinking about welding on a rail to the bottom of my gas block like the OEM version, so I can run a wood RPK handguard, and still mount a flashlight.

I'm thinking about welding on a rail to the bottom of my gas block like the OEM version, so I can run a wood RPK handguard, and still mount a flashlight. I felt the same way, I was thinking about having one "Long Gun" version to use the GK-01 or swap other muzzle devices on at will, and another SBS'd or at least perm attached muzzle device. In the end, I have decided to keep only one - I am perm attaching a 3.5" brake and loading it for a "Full Length" (18" with brake) tactical build. GK-01 was too big for me in this context so I am going to be off loading that, etc - which is ashamed because you can FEEL the difference it makes, it's very effective and impressive. I have an Eotech for mine as well. I love the PA red dots btw, I have two of them. Usually I will have one of each top tier - Eotech, Aimpoint, etc and then get a few lower tier units for other builds since optics are so costly. But I have to say the PA is a very impressive unit for 100 bucks. It's sweet, I have them on a few AK rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3Gun 19 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Left Hand Charge in the works. Also put a FAB PTK far out, very happy with this one but it took a minor modification, better than the Magpul. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Going to be super jelly of your new gas block. Do you expect to have to open up the ports any since your shortening the barrel? @3Gun Definitely not the best looking, but I'm all for function over looks too. I would add more bandages and try to make it look like a pieced together post-apocalyptic shotgun. bwhahah Edited February 5, 2013 by Muffman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Going to be super jelly of your new gas block. Do you expect to have to open up the ports any since your shortening the barrel? I actually went with the Red Jacket brake. Ya I know, but it's actually a nice brake and the right length for my build since I didn't want to cut too much and risk issues. Plus it has a more tactical feel to it, meat grinder up front, good for breaching, and I happen to like better than the Tromix Shark. I liked Obi's design but it may have been a bit long, and a bit more competition style than tactical. It's unknown if anything will need to change with the cut yet. The smith that has it is very experienced with Saigas but this is his first vepr. He suspects if anything a shorter recoil spring, but everyone has different ways of addressing it. I may have the carrier re-worked anyway - ala Pauly or Cobra. I am also digging the JTE recoil spring assembly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MAKAK47 21 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I used Testors Enamel model paint, I put it on a toothpick, got a glob and put it on the letters and it immediately soaks into the letters. After covering all the letters I let it sit for an hour, then used break free CLP on a rag and GENTLY started rubbing over the letters until only the enamel paint in the engravings was left. Probably one of the easiest yet coolest things you can do to your gun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

S12KS-K 40 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Fresh off the FedEx truck.. I'll post some more this evening. IMAG0436.jpg This is how mine is set up. I bought a K-Var stock for mine but it seemed to be a bit thin. I swapped it out with my cheap Saiga 5.45 build's stock which was a tapco. I actually think the tapco stock looks much more handsome on the S12 than the original AK stocks. It's thicker and goes with the receiver and molot grip better, makes it look heavy duty. Also, very impressed with MD Arms molot grip, feels very durable, expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
