Ak_Rider 1 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I really do enjoy the look and feel of wood furniture on my Mak-90 and would love to apply that same look and feel to my Vepr-12. Is there a vendor who sells wood furniture for Veper-12s or can i buy a regular wood 7.62x39mm forearm, buttstock, and pistol grip then modify and apply to my Vepr-12? Thank you for your input.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) RPK wood (haha get it!?) be your best bet and I don't know if that will work without mods. AK pistol grip will fit with no mods. A non RPK butt stock will require some fitting for the receiver, really not a big deal. The hand guard is the biggest obstacle. I just put wood on my s12 and it feels like a whole new beast. I like it! Edited January 26, 2014 by Mullet Man 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brickfield mfg 86 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Standard AK butt stock just needs to be thinned to fit the thicker receiver (1.5mm thick on the RPK/Saiga/VEPR versus 1mm think on the AK). I had a Romanian stock on my S12 before I put a folder on it and put a K-Var NATO length stock on my fixed stock V12. If you have a table saw, you can stand the stock up on its tenon and cut .5mm off each side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jpnrm96 70 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I get wood everytime I touch my S12. Does that count? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ak_Rider 1 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 RPK wood (haha get it!?) be your best bet and I don't know if that will work without mods.

I just put wood on my s12 and it feels like a whole new beast. I like it! So I like the idea of using RPK wood(if i can find it) but I don't care for the buttstock style. Why is it that RPK wood furniture is preferred to customized to fit my Vepr-12 and not any other AK type of wood furniture? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brickfield mfg 86 Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 The RPK hand guard is different than the standard AK hand guard. It not only has a slightly different shape, but uses a different retainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
