randyf 35 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I am still seeing vepr-12's listed by a few dealers. I guess I thought the market for these things would have been a little stronger and that the 1000 would have been long gone by now. I remember some of the dealers/distributors on this forum saying there were only 1000 ordered and that there were no more orders made and no more being brought in this year. But I now see copes distributing has announced a new pre order due in by the end of the month, though perhaps the order is coming from the importer. Maybe its due to the poor economy but it still seems a little surprising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Poor economy combined with the time of year perhaps. It is getting close to the end of the year, holidays, Tax season. Lots of factors could be playing a role....or not at all. We will see with time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

csspecs 1,987 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 There may be more then a couple importers. The Russians say one thing and often do something else. It could be just the same 1000 shotguns. The pricing is a little high for your average AK enthusiast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reverendfranz 160 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 cope said their preorder included ten units. And they were only offered those recently. I wouldnt panic yet, you are still special. the more the merrier, i say Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAC45 15 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I've got my two. One for modding and one stock. It sure has made Saiga's with LRBHO jump in price. I've seen them in Shotgun news for 1200 dollar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen them in Shotgun news for 1200 dollar. If anything veprs will drive the price of saigas down. The price increase is probably due to the news that izhmash might close down.

evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 From another view.... 1,000 VEPR 12s x $1,000 = $1,000,000 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 There doesnt seem to be much more interest in these guns other than here and a few other AK boards. I cross posted the news thinking it would have gotten a bit more interest, but didnt like I thought it would have. I guess still many dont know much about the S12 and know even less about the V12. The biggest response I got back was the price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I would say that 1 out of 10 people who come into our shop have even heard of the Saiga 12 and none have heard of the VEPR 12. Most think their Remington 870 is the epitome of badass. It must be bliss.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
big_sti 2 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 hahaha that's all I get from most of my buddies, how is it better than my Pump 870 that cost only $600 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clifton 354 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 But the key friends is not the now but in the then. When the then is here what you did in the now matters. Look back on the Tigers. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They've been on the verge of closing down for years but haven't. They were renting the factory's cafeteria out as a gay nightclub called "Money Honey" according to an article a few years back. (the thread over on Guns.ru was fuckin' priceless I swear) I don't really lose much sleep over them going out of business anymore. It's like "Yeah, what else is new?" I doubt they'll go anywhere. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PapaZorro 401 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Pic of Sergii with Mosberg with magwell for Saiga/Vepr designed for French Army/Police. French've chosen Vepr. On the pic VPO-205-03 model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raidersfan_5544 57 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) ^^^That top picture almost looks like he is just holding that mag up himself...when zoomed in it looks like the rear of the mag isn't fully seated? Anyway he should at least have his hand on forend so he can take faster follow up shots...that is a pump not a semi auto.
