Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Ummm.. That thing looks kinda, sorta, certainly, unspeakably, BADASS!!! Bloomington ain't that far away and I've got about 1400 rounds of x54r!!! Edited April 2, 2013 by Maxwelhse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 They are really great platforms. Since the storm and with the cheap, availability of the round mine has become my favorite plinker. Kind of a high horsepower plinker. http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss72/ddoneill/IMG_0585_zps6e06d6f9.jpg http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/ss72/ddoneill/IMG_0590_zps16978121.jpg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks gents. I forgot to mention it has the best AK trigger I have ever used bar none. Red Star Arms set to a very crisp 3# by Marc Krebs. I havnt weighed it yet, but my guess is 12# or so. Praetorian - beautiful Vepr!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebobrusso 27 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 how did you attach the Magpul PRS stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Krebs prototype. Originally I wanted a Bonesteel folder, but couldn't get one in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Horse, is that forearm/ rail setup available anywhere. I am have difficulty finding it. Also did they/you redo the angle cut to straight? Looks well done. Thank you 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's still not available, but should be soon. The first two batches are being kept in-house for the KV-13's, but after that they should be out. Yes - added material back for straight back. It should look better after it is finished in cerakote Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TigerMoses 31 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Thanks for introducing me to the Vltor Modpod, going to have to use those on one of my guns, love their look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I am still 50/50 on it. I like some aspects, love others, am ho-hum about others. Time will tell if I keep it. But I love that when folded up it is way up top and out of the way. I also like how wide and stable the legs are when deployed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 It is kind of reminiscent of the CheyTac M200. Great set up nonetheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frz1197 128 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Do those mod pods extend enough to fit one of the 10 round sgm mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 yes - but not "well." I've got one for more testing, now I just need the rifle back from cerakoting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 A couple more pics: Surefire was very helpful when setting the rifle up to run with a can. We went with the SOCOM 7.62RC because the 54R out of the 18.5" barrel would be excessive for the 7.62 Mini. Magpul helped us get the PRS Stock so that the shooter could properly and repeatedly get aligned with the rifle. This is a notorious family issue with the Kalashnikov. Had to return the NF NXS Compact after the media event, so now the rifle wears a Vortex Viper PST. Currently the rifle has Warne rings, but I am looking for a better alternative. Anyone have suggestions? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I'm gonna trek back a bit in the comments on this one.... ...a folder on a x54R gives me emotions that I'm not comfortable talking about in public... ...wow, that would be all sorts of badass!!! Still an awesome looking VEPR and I am still quite jealous... (c'mon market.. drop those prices to "reasonable") Quote Link to post Share on other sites
avnate 335 Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 ...a folder on a x54R gives me emotions that I'm not comfortable talking about in public... I'm not sure we'd be comfortable listening to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rayn2ravage 37 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 How accurate can you shoot that out to? That vepr looks great and is making me rethink getting the 700 sps tactical i wanted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse 39 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Regrettably I don't even have the rifle yet. I got to shoot it at the Big 3 East Media event where Marc was showing off the DMR concept (his is in .308) and his new KV-13. Short answer: don't know yet. Long answer: We'll see.
