I picked up this 5.45 a short time ago as a "backup" Vepr. It was converted and had a thumbhole stock on it. I had some parts handy and that's what it's wearing now.
It's "brother" has an ultimak tri-rail which I'm pleased with. Just thought I'd reach out and see if there's anything new that's vepr compatible before getting a replacement hand guard.  |

Prove your Vepr wood handguard is not American made. ;) No ones even been "caught" or even charged. |

The Tapco and Magpul rail sections work just fine. I'm sure others that mount the same way would be fine as well. I don't like a lot of rails on that handguard so I used one of the Magpul MSA sling mounts and it works great.

Quote HistoryI normally like Krebs stuff, but that gun is hideous imo lol. 300+ down the drain.... if it had an M4 stock etc it might balance out but as is... blech. No offense. I would take the css round handguard and save 220 bucks for other stuff... |

Well, I was thinking of removing the front sight and replacing it with one like the V2, but I think I'm just going to slap on an MI mount with an AimPoint and call it a day...

The Canis magpul adapter is rock solid. The only issue I had and am still trying to fit myself is there is a slight gap in the front where the top and lower handguards connect. VERY slight, but noticeable to me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Canis magpul adapter is rock solid. The only issue I had and am still trying to fit myself is there is a slight gap in the front where the top and lower handguards connect. VERY slight, but noticeable to me. I hear you. Mine just got delivered today. I bought the "pre fitted" handguards. I got them on, but I was annoyed by the fact that 1. I had to do a lot of fitting myself, and 2. I had to file all the tabs up front about 1/3 of the material to get the front piece to align over the threaded hole. I also had to cut off the last section containing the vent hole in the upper hand guard. Finally, they didn't send a screw to affix the front retaining piece, so I had to reuse the original handguard screw, which sticks up about 1/4 of an inch. Looks like crap. I'll order one, but given that I spent over $100, I'm annoyed that they didn't send a threaded screw of proper length and I had to do more than just casual fitting.  |

Saiga handguard works on my Vepr 308 with some modification. Needs to cut short the rear tang, drill a new mounting hole just a bit in front of the Saiga sling mounting hole to use the original Vepr mounting lug. Barely clear the Saiga sling attachment screw! The biggest challenge is finding a 5mmx0.5 fine thread screw which is hard to find in US. I bought a threading die and made one! The mag in the picture is a modified M14 mag.
