Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Ok so final got an hour to convert a VEPR12 This by far was the easiest conversion out of all that I have done. Only one item needed to filed. Parts used in the conversion Stock - Bonesteel Left Side folder http://bonesteelarms.com/Vepr-12-RPK-folding-stock-with-integral-M4-collapsable-stock-RPKFSTB.htm Muzzle Break - CSS US VERSION OF THE VEPR 12 BRAKE http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1577/MOLOT-GK-dsh-01-VEPR-SAIGA/Detail?sfs=bcdf4dca FCG - CSS TRIGGER GROUP- MODIFIED SAIGA FIRE CONTROL GROUP http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-138/TROMIX-SAIGA-TRIGGER-TAPCO/Detail?sfs=bcdf4dca Pistol Grip - Scorpion http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1359/ATI-AK-dsh-47-Pistol-Grip/Detail?sfs=a584cb7e So this started when I first got it and replaced the stock with a Saiga sporter and installed the muzzle break. Was waiting on the Bonesteel folder to complete the rest. Very happy I waited. The Bonesteel folder is very light weight, folds easily and locks up nice and tight. The below photo shows the start of today's events. The next four pics are pf the original configuration on the breakdown. Next is installing the pistol grip Now I mentioned in the opening that there was one part that needed to be filed. That is the stock screw under the dust cover. The head is just slightly to be (.001). Not really a big deal to file a little off. Bonesteel knows of this and will be correcting. Next two Pics are the folder installed with the sling mount. Next three pics show the original and replace FCG's. The last one is a closeup of the original hammer. New FCG installed Next four pics are the completed shotgun Ok last two pics show the difference when folded of having the M4 collapsed and extended. With it collapsed all the way, your fingers will be impacted on firing. So there you go, pretty easy. I purposely did not do any polishing or make any modifications to the parts (Other than the screw for the stock). Want to see how it runs first. Will post updates when it has been tested.

thebuns1 4,323 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Sweet. The only thing Im waiting on is a muzzle brake and my stock. Will be a little bit as I have other plans at the moment for other projects. Looks good Dad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iron808 1 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Dad, Looks good. I did the same basic conversion to make it 922r compliant even though I haven't seen anything specifically mentioned about it other than wanting to use larger capacity mags. I added two more parts a CSS gas puck and a Hogue pistol grip that I had from a previous conversion I didn't use. You may want to look inside and insure your safety is not coming in contact with the disconnector when you move it back and forth. I had to file the safety ever so slightly to get clearance, I didn't notice it at first until Pauly made mention about it in an earlier thread. I'm glad your M4 style left folder arrived, I'm awaiting the Galil style left side folder for mine hopefully they will also start shipping soon as well. Just one question; What is your overall length with the muzzle device installed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aeromat209 24 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Thanks for the detailed pics ! Looks great . I have both the Ar style Bonesteel folder and the Galil style to see which I prefer ! I can always use the other stock for another rifle! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Update, just ran 100 noble sport through it. No issues with factory 5rd or one SGM 12 Rd. Did have an issue with one SGM 12 rd, appears the shells are sticking at the top of the mag. As far as the replacement FCG and the stock goes, works great. Lots of fun shooting from the hip 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
