Mullet Man 2,114 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Yep. The screw is "staked" to the pistol grip nut. make sure you are using the correct size screw driver, one that fits damn near perfectly with no slop. Gonne take some effort to remove. I've seen one suggestion on here to put the screwdriver in a vise and turn the gun around it for leverage. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingchedr 12 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks y'all. Y'all kinda took long to reply so while I waited I kept messing with it I used a flat head drill bit grabbed it with some vice grips and it started goin but even after loosening it every turn took a good amount of force. Mulletman I saw the "staking" can I used another grip screw if I ever wanted to re install it or is that screw specific for that grip? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) I discarded the factory vepr screw. I'd recommend the Allen head screw from carolina shooters supply. Much easier to install than the flat head type screws. Edit; not to mention the staked screw will be a mofo to reuse. Edited November 13, 2014 by Mullet Man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MeatAxe556 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I counter drill it from the inside. Comes off like a wet dream. Jesus. Now ya tell me. I thought I just had a lemon of a pistol grip screw. I ended up drilling and dremeling the shit out of that thing to get it off and basically destroyed the Molot PG. Between the staked PG screw (for what reason in the annals of Kalashikov production?), the irritating hand guard and the painful thumb extension on the safety lever, whoever created the Vepr 12 must have been a sadist!

saltydecimator 482 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 just pulled mine off with no issues guess I got lucky... And the hand guard is more of a problem with the sling retainer no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pro2A 17 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Seems like it can be hit and miss... I want to put the Hogue grip on mine, will the Hogue AK grip fit the Vepr12? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 The V12 will use any standard AK grip. Not sure what you mean by "seems like it can be hit and miss"? Yugo's are the only ones I know that have a proprietary grip setup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
