Picture Post, Lets see your Vepr-12

My VEPR 12

 

M4 style tube 6 position from CSS and Magpul m4 stuck stock. Tromix drop in tapco drigger and a vented Polly choke.

 

 

and without choke.

 

how dose that tromix drop in trigger feel compared to the original.

[chevyman097 2,579]

It is definitely a cleaner trigger pull. Ill update more after i shoot her. The factory trigger had a lot of slap and a rough reset it seemed.

Stock looks Great!

Considering all the work& Mods to get the CSS M4 Style Tube to fit ... do you feel it was worth it?

[ec4321 113]

I have a vltor on my AK.

 

I thought the CSS collapsing all the way was awesome.

 

A few things:

 

1) Looks cool only, not useful collapsed all the way in for me.

2) Fitting on the Vepr. Eh. No fitting required with Vltor.

3) The QD swivel attachments on the Vltor are awesome and I use them for a sling on my AK. I will use them on the VEPR as well.

 

Vltor it is.

 

Css has them as well.

Here she is. Its done other than a few little bits and pieces. It has a custom built folder that I loosely modeled after an SVD folding stock, tapco trigger, and a magpul rail and foregrip added to the handgaurd.

Nice looking folder you have made for your VEPR. What type,of hinge are you using with it?

[Muffman 54]

I agree that how the css collapses all the way is cool, however not very useful. Imo the biggest pro of the css is that it is mounted up higher than all other stocks. And if you plan on using the railed dustcover you will need that extra height since your optic is already up higher than other mounting solutions on ak's, suck as ultimak, MI handguards, and TWS railed dustcover. Idk, I'm sure the Vltor with a 3/4" cheek riser would provide a good cheek weld with an eotech. But looks like with the css it definitely would, and 3/4" would prob be too tall, might have to go with a 1/2" cheek riser. Ehhh... I'm still debating between the two though... = [

thanks for the compliment. Its just a cheap hinge from the hardware store. it started out looking like this.

this is what it looks like now up close.

and here is a shot of it before paint.

 

the hinge has a little play in it so I believe at some point i may do something different. I am going to try to put a hardened hinge pin in the hinge to see if that helps. If it doesn't i may break down and buy an ace folding mechanism. All in all I only have about 10 bucks in the hole thing.

First ill start by saying, I dont REGRET doing it. Is it worth it? Well thats debatable. I think depending on the patience of each person is varies. I would not do it again without more detailed instructions ill say that. Hell maybe ill pull it apart and do a how to guide. Maybe that would help some.

 

But for the money I spent on it. i think a vendor could have these exact mounting blocks modded to drop right in and sell for the same price or even more. I sure hope some one starts making them in the future. I would have definitely paid more for a drop in stock. Now if the stock and tube had been cheaper, I would not have minded modding it at all. I just think for the price, and potential price they could get for a drop in kit there should be something available. I know the VEPR 12s are new, so lets hope some one starts providing these.

 

i will probably go back eventually and paint the spots I nicked in the process of modding it. I had some pretty noticeable oops marks. I just havnt decided yet if I want to go for a color scheme or just do a solid duracoat. I sure have always admired peoples digi cam on their guns.

[Muffman 54]

a how to would be awesome!!

More awesome would CSS planning on modding these so they are drop in ready. I would pay more for it as well to be drop in ready.

[gpqueen 545]

We are looking into it.

[Muffman 54]

That is great to hear! I plan on using an Eotech and like how these sit higher than the Vltor so one of these would be my #1 choice! = D

Agreed, I would pay extra if CSS sold these as a True Drop In Part for the V12

[thebuns1 4,323]

Heres mine. Pretty basic at the moment.

[havok 21]

Here's mine

Tromix shark brake

Tromix fcg

Tromix firing pin

JTE main spring

ACE stock with folding mech

MSA adapter

 

Also have a XS big dot but I could not get the windage drum to budge.

thanks man. Right now I have a lot of free time on my hands and not a lot of money. I had to sell a few things just to get the vepr 12 so dropping a lot of money on a nice folding stock wasn't an option. Necessity is the mother of invention and i needed a folding stock!

Havok,

Really like the ACE folder and was wondering how hard it was to install ?? Is it pug and play or cutting and grinding ??

[DresNightfire 39]

Threw a Primary Arms Micro Red Dot on my VEPR 12

[rs51085 136]

nice red dot. can you show a picture of the flash kill on the front of the red dot?

your folder looks better than most after market folders. Now why can't aftermarketers make a folder that doesnt bulge out like a freaking tumor?

Thanks man. That is a big reason why i built it, I can't stand the bulges that a lot of stocks have around the trunion area either. I really wanted a folding SVD stock or a Russian triangle folder because they fold flush with the receiver, but I don't have that kind of money to drop on a stock right now. And the idea of cutting the tang off is not something I wanted to do since these are somewhat rare right now. It took me a few days to come up with a way to keep the tang and have it fold. knowing the way gun stuff is, if enough people want something like this I am sure some one will mass produce it. (and not pay me a cent )

[echoside190 127]

Got a 5" Magpul rail with an AFG mounted on it today, just waiting for my muzzle brake and she'll be done... For now.

Looks good! I am waiting for a piece of rail to arrive...

Thanks, I went and shot with it some yesterday and it worked great. I am not going to crack anybody over the head with it but its solid enough for me.

mmmmm safety

[Philemon9130 3]

Added Tromix FCG, VLTOR stock tube with Magpul MOE stock, JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring, 11 slot Magpul rail to front handguard with el cheapo folding grip (will upgrade later), Hogue monogrip and a basic breech brake. I like it so far.
