I have been hunting for a RS BM-7 and RS BM-12 for a while with no luck. I emailed RS regulate and they aren’t in production currently. Drop those guys an email and let them know you want one. Maybe that gets a run going. Or dm me if you know where to locate them.

So I live in a Ban State and one of the requirements for me to own a VEPR 12 was to get the stock fixed, so it isn’t collapsible, among other things. I’m curious about how they might’ve gone about this and I’ve noticed a drilled hole where I believe the Trunnion is, underneath the cover release button. Do your “Free” VEPRs have this as well? If not, then that must be it.

I really wanna put the LAC adjustable gas bloc on my vepr. Only problem is I lose my irons and that's not something I wanna lose. How crazy and how hard would it be to install the LAC bloc, then have my original gas block milled to look this and pressed on to act as a standard front sight bloc?

Does any one know anything about model 12-76 on the veper 12 and how do you remove the thread protector

My last v12 was someone’s old race horse. I didn’t know it when I bought it (in my inexperience) but that was the case. It was a purchase I made after 12 am and 12 beers out of a shop in Ohio who had some decent pictures on the internet. It had plenty of cool parts. It worked, and it was worked. Fast forward a few years. I picked this unit up the other day and am relishing in the “off the lot” feeling that comes with an “as she came” 2nd hand gun. I had to pick up a gas tube cover to replace the lonely wood and reinstall the factory grip but…This thing is just the tits.

EDIT: FIXED

Hello everyone,

It appears I have installed the gas puck on my Vepr in reverse (flat side facing shooter). Did a bunch of shooting with it but since it was not very reliable, I decided to clean the gun. To my horror, I saw the reverse gas puck, stuck in place. I placed the gun muzzle down, filled the gas block with some WD40 and waited a few days but it doesn't want to come out. Any advice?

EDIT:

Thanks for all the help. I fired a few high brass loads to free the puck, which didn't work. I then plugged the end of the barrel and filled the barrel (and subsequently, the gas block) with WD40. Also filled the gas block from the other end just to be sure. After 2 weeks, the puck was still stuck. So I found someone whose air compressor I could use. I stripped the gun, put a spent shell in the chamber and wrapped some rags around the blaster to put maximum force on the puck. I held the shell with my one hand, put one finger where puck is (to not lose it) and had someone else blast the barrel with air. After ensuring a tight seal at the barrel end, and holding the spent shell in the chamber, the puck finally came out.

Hello. Can anyone recommend a gunsmith for an 8" build?

Past few weeks got a few needed pieces for the vepr 12. 4shooters had the molot railed handguard and the molot vertical grip. Grabbed a cheap Romeo 5, stream light and a sling from kusa I had laying around. Grabbed three more oem mags.

I'm looking to buy a Vepr that's for sale locally and trying to get an accurate idea on what price I should shoot for.

It's a folding stock Vepr with:

Chaos USA quad rail

Hogue Grip

Tapco G2 trigger

The seller claims it had a lot of work done by I.O. Inc to make it reliable which greatly increases the value but I don't know anything about that to verify

Not sure yet if it comes with the original furniture or second mag. At the moment only has the 5 rounder. Otherwise it looks to be in pretty good condition and the shop thinks it hasn't been fired much if at all

What would a fair price be for something like this?

I just got home with my fixed stock version that looks practically unshot and I have a few questions. I saw in a comment on this forum that you aren't supposed to dry fire these? Is that true? Also, I am sitting on copious amounts of birdshot around the 1200 FPS (1150-1250) range that will be my training ammo. I was wondering, if I wanted to get max reliability on the Vepr while I train with it, if I should remove the brake it came with and shoot it with just the thread protector. I have seen posts stating that the muzzle brake can decrease reliability with lower FPS loads. Thanks.

Does anyone have a copy of the Vepr12 manual that they’d share? 😁

The Vepr 12 I bought has an RFT hand guard on it and I haven't been able to find much on RFT. This leads me to ask: is it any good?

I know it's a little wacky, but I was thinking of mounting a IR laser to the VEPR 12. I was looking at TDI handguards but I'm not sure if it would hold zero. Anyone able to chime in? Additionally, any other options y'all can think of?

I plan to buy Zenitco klesh 2 to put under the rail and pt 1 vepr stock . And also modify barrel shroud for it

Does anyone know of a retailer that sells a railed gas block? I can't find one anywhere. I thought about asking a machine shop to mill one, but that can be costly.

Where do you all source your parts in the US? I’ve mostly been looking at Carolina Shooters and Dissident Arms.

I know I’m late to the game, but I have been looking for a GK-03 and LAC titanium lightweight gas piston rod + piston, but haven’t been able to find them anywhere. Any tips?

Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase one like those on the factory SBS?

I was looking at the Sport-6 kit but I don't have the railed gas block, unfortunately. Can I use the B-19RPK upper handguard and the B-20U?

LGS has a lightly used Molot VEPR 12ga side folding for $1100.

I remember these were selling for $799 back when fime group did the big import but I seem to have regrets on not pulling the trigger then.

What are these running fair market price these days?

Does anyone know a source or willing to sell a Vepr 12 Bolt?

Can someone from America please tell me if they can legally send me a drum magazine for my vepr12 to Pakistan? Impossible to purchase one here
