disassemble v12 folding stock?

Bearclaw, have you looked into this any further? I'm picking up my first VEPR-12 tomorrow and from what I've seen of the stock dimensions I imagine I will be doing the same thing you described in your first post. I'm all of 5'6" and I like to shoot shotguns offhand the same way I would an AR-15 (nose almost to the receiver) so I actually run an ACE ARFX Entry stock with a 1" recoil pad on my current Saiga-12. That's perfect for both my wife and I, so I'd like to shorten the VEPR stock to mimic that.

Knock out the pins circled in red in the photo, and that will get the stock off.

I am thinking about removing mine to deepen the notch on the cheek piece, to allow it to lock in the right handed shooting position, and require the plunger to be depressed to move it from that position..

Looking mine over it appears that the bottom pin is blind and would have to be drilled out, because Russia :(

 

Are they all like that?

It does go all the way through, but it comes out inside of the pocket that the latch locks into (in the open position), and looks like the pin might be too long to come out in one piece. Drilling out the pin might be required, or you could drill through the outside of the "pocket" so you would be able to drive the pin all the way through.

I scraped around on the inside of the "pocket" and found the other side of the pin (it had been covered with a metal burr and paint.) I think I'll very carefully drill through the pocket to access the pin instead of having to drill out the entire pin

The pins in the tubes should not be compromised and are easily reused. The detent rivet in the upper tube if removed is going to leave a large hole in that top tube. And since the tube is such light material it will most likely distort during the removal process. That is why I chose to not disassemble further. But I would seriously consider just grinding off the top head of what I'm calling the detent rivet leaving it in place thereby keeping a solid look to the top tube. If you did choose to remove that rivet you would just have to counter drill the backside where it was staked. So to answer your question I did not measure the pens. I would assume that they are metric. Your easiest solution would be bumping the holes to the next size of hardened pin available at your local hardware store
