scattergun10 125 Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 (edited) I noticed something on my new Vepr when installing the bg the other day that has me a little concerned. On the front trunnion, there is a line that starts about 2" in, from the rear, and goes to just under where the gas tube starts. It's hard to tell if it's just a surface scratch or something deeper. I'm hoping to God it's not a crack! My Saigas don't have this in that area. Maybe Molot uses a different machining method that causes that mark on the trunnion. At least I'm hoping it's something like that. Anyone else's Vepr have this mark on the front trunnion? Edited June 14, 2014 by scattergun10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigChongus 765 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Try putting a small drop of Kroil or PB directly on the crack and see if it gets drawn in. I'm betting it's either a scratch or a tool mark though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
