Cycling the bolt is a truly wonderful experience. A smooth satin finish cleanly hugs the rifle. The fit and finish on this rifle are fantastic. It’s an easy enough fix, but adds an extra expense and complication for anyone wanting to convert a VEPR rifle into a more traditional configuration. Ace offers a receiver block, making it compatible with any of their stocks. Several companies offer adapters that will allow any standard AK-type fixed stock to be installed.
One would think this fact should make it a better candidate for conversion however, the receiver’s slant-cut rear throws a wrench in the gears. Unlike its brother, the Saiga, the VEPR’s trigger resides in the proper location. They come in right- and left-hand stocks. The rifle comes with a beautiful walnut thumb-hole stock and fore-end. It’s not a big enough difference to matter to me. The advertised weight from the retailer was 7.2 pounds, but my bathroom scale tells me the rifle weighs in closer to 7.5 pounds unloaded. A pinned and welded muzzle nut hides standard 13×1 mm threads. The model I chose has a short 16.25-inch 1:12 chrome-lined hammer-forged barrel, a combination gas block and front sight, and is chambered for the fantastic. Featuring a heavy barrel and a thick 1.5 mm receiver, it’s significantly more substantial than your average AK-type rifle. Produced in Russia’s Molot factory, this is a real AK-type rifle.
