atakacorp 147 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Guy from other forum just posted ,I tried it and can confirm its working "So messing with my Vepr today I found that it might have a bolt hold open feature when charging. If I am charging the rifle at a point after the hammer is cocked use light pressure on the trigger and I hear another click then the charging handle is locked in the rear posistion and will only move forward again if you pull the handle all the way to the back."

theorangeplanet 968 Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Interesting... I'd take the dust cover off and see whats actually going on in there. It seems like if this were a legitimate feature it would be mentioned somewhere in the manual??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MN_VEPR 0 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 yeah I don't know. Just tried it out on my v2 20.5 and couldn't get it to do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atakacorp 147 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 works for me and I know more than dozen people with X54s that have that thing working Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MN_VEPR 0 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 what version? but I would think the guts would all be the same. I could be doing it wrong too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MN_VEPR 0 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 well I too now can confirm it has one. just finally figured it out. it indeed looks like its supposed to, as the bolt rests on a notch that looks like its meant for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zagumennyyilya 51 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Can someone post pics of this? With the top cover off, would like to see what everyone is talking about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MN_VEPR 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Hope these help, hard to get pics of what is going on. But basically its part of the bolt carrier that hooks on to part of the trigger assembly. After you pull the trigger it hops of and latches together and doesnt go forward till you rock it all the way back. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/NITRO-DEATH/stuff/vepr001_zps38eced1c.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/NITRO-DEATH/stuff/vepr002_zps979a5d90.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/NITRO-DEATH/stuff/vepr004_zps4b6fa643.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/NITRO-DEATH/stuff/vepr005_zps7c0eee65.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y117/NITRO-DEATH/stuff/vepr003_zpsa5da5396.jpg Edited January 9, 2013 by MN_VEPR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mephis 82 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I just tried it, it works with my 20.5". I have a feeling not many people will manage to figure out how to do this little trick, but it's a nifty feature. Sure takes a hell of a lot of force to pull the bolt back after doing this though.

JESS1344 508 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 GUYS, SAME ON MINE, MY ONLY QUESTION, IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS OR IS IT JUST A HAPPENSTANCE ALIGNMENT/CONFIGURATION OF PARTS THAT ENABLES THIS? WPA, YOU COPY?? JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MN_VEPR 0 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 yeah that'd be nice to to know heh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Lemon 157 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Oh hey this is nice. My outdoor range requires for actions to be open at cease fire, and I already busted a cap of a marker that I used to keep the bolt open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nukeme70 7 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I got mine to do this...once. From the pissmeoff factor, I'm guessing that this is a happy bonus for some, but not an actual design feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nukeme70 7 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Well, I played around a bit more tonight, and was able to consistently get the bolt to stay open. I would still find myself fishing around trying to find the sweet spot to get things to drop in place, and I think if I had a full magazine I probably would eject 1-2 trying to do this. I think it's a worthy thing to do, especially if you frequent those ranges that insist on an open bolt during cease fire... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zagumennyyilya 51 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 i always put the bolt open with no mag in the gun, once i have the bolt in the open position, i put in the mag, that way i dont throw out a few rounds trying to find that sweet spot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reverendfranz 160 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Most yugo guns will do the same thing. Its not a feature so much as happenstance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nukeme70 7 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Even though it has an actual BHO feature, I tried the above trick on my Saiga-12...worked on it as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
