liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Found out a non forum internet site has the square back 23" 7.62x54r on sale for $779.oo If I had the money I'd likely get one, but funds are low. I hate not being independently wealthy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I was thinking the same thing, and the one in the photos is threaded with a muzzle nut attached. From all sources. These may the last square back VEPRs brought which could make them more valuable as collector guns down the road. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nukeme70 7 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Been watching these for a while - got the email with the catalog and price drop... had to (wait for it...) pull the trigger on one. Hopefully I'll have it in hand by the end of the week - crappy, unfinished stock and all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skoodge 22 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Dibs on your unfinished stock and foregrip if you don't want them. Edit: But really, if you want to get rid of them, I'd like a second set to finish and stain a different color for my VEPR Let me know!

nukeme70 7 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Aaaaaand...they're out. Looks like they were dumping their inventory, as the model number is listed as discontinued. I got worried when I saw that and called to make sure my order got in, as the status hadn't changed. I was assured that mine was going out the door that day. I'm actually looking forward to working on the crappy, unfinished stock. One of the things I liked about this rifle was how nice the furniture (on the legit ones) looked.

HappYBallZ 31 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Was debating whether to buy the 23" 54R or not... too late now haha. I really hope retailers will have these square-back and nice wood later on this month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nukeme70 7 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Mine came in today - furniture is not too bad, no cracks. Very rough, in that it's obvious they used some sort of electric carving tool to rough out the shape of the pistol grip and stock. Hand guard is pretty smooth, and a quick fine sanding will take care of that. There is a chunk out of the base of the pistol grip where a knot was - might have to try some wood putty or just wrap the base in something. The stock seems to be walnut and the handguard seems to be a lighter wood, both in color and density. I'm hoping they color-match when I hit them with some linseed oil once everything is sanded nicely. I have an ATI Dragunov-type stock lying around that I'm going to throw on while I work on the wood stock. Hopefully I can get her out and feed her sometime soon, she seems hungry!

Sirex 34 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I was going to buy one of the 23" 54r Veprs within the month, but CFS will no longer sell to MD residents. Sucks............ Now I will have to pay more for one off GB or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
