so let me get this right...

breaking the weld means you need to get it 922r compliant?
and
you can't replace the folding stock with a fixed stock version as the receivers are fundamentally different?

If I could have only one, it would be the fixed stock version.  I do own both however.  Prefer the fixed stock variety.

You can put a adapter on and use an AR type stock after taking off the factory folder stock.

I have 2 of the factory folders, i love them the way they are.Just feels right for me.

I do believe the factory fixed stock models have a slightly longer barrel over the folders.

really? everything I have read says you are stuck with the folder. Or did they mean that this is the only folding option right now? Will changing it to a AR 5-6 pos stock make the folding one irreversible?

Yup, ask Liquidmetal about the adapter, he knows all there is to know about the Vepr's.More than i can help you with.

Im sure he can provide you with links,info, etc on them.

Canis is making noise about producing their own version:  http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181937





As you can see, options are very limited with the factory folders.





The fixed stock Vepr 12s come in as either 19" or 22" barreled guns, both of them are out there.

but that one ends up placing the cheek weld lower than before. I guess the only other option for going to fixed would be to put one of these on, just wouldn't have the folding option (which is fine) http://www.4range.com/goods.php?id=265

gotcha, I thought yours was for a buffer tube AND could fold, whereas this one was just for the buffer tube only (and that explained the price diff)

I use the M4 adapter on my vepr 12. I got it from 4range.

It required a little fitting but can easily be done by anyone with hobby file and a minimal amount of patience, and the ability to recognize where something is interfering. The hardest part is getting the damn hinge pin out, its staked in. Hit from the bottom up. Make sure it is very well supported and hit it like you mean it. A couple good whacks is better than a bunch of light ones.

I will change fcg, piston puck, muzzle brake, pistol grip and handguard.
Then I will be 922r compliant and able to use factory mags and break the weld legally.

Anyone familiar with the shotgun spread lasers?

I picked one up from centerfire post sanction for $850. It was supposed to have a non folding stock, no mechanism. I got it now and it looks like all the rest I have seen. It has the little spring catch through the receiver on the left. It also wasn't supposed to have ambi-safety but it does. Did I luck out and get a welded folder ? Question is how can I tell exactly before I spend money on the usa parts. My tack weld looks like all the rest I have seen pictured.

Am I missing a lever to collapse and extend the stock is my worry. Or does that spring catch on the side open/close the stock?

move the catch forward, it then folds

I wanted a choke set-up that kept length and weight increases to an absolute minimum.  Went with the choke adapter from AK Builder.  Uses Winchokes, both flush and extended types.  Works great.

It has internal threads at both ends.  One end is threaded for the barrel, the other end is threaded for the chokes.  Very compact.

I went with this same set up as recommended by Liquidmetal.Im using the full choke right now.

The factory barrel is a cylinder choke, too much spread without a choke imho.Slugs etc can be used in the V12.

Below is a pic of my V12's(top Vepr 12 in pic has break with choke insert) I got mine from CSS

My favorite "do it all" choke is Light Modified.  I shoot birdshot, buckshot, and slugs through it.  Very good all-around performance for the shooting and hunting I do.



I will occasionally run a modified or full choke when messing around with cheap birdshot while playing around, but for the vast majority of my shooting and hunting I have a Light Modified choke in my Vepr 12s.



I never shoot my Vepr 12s un-choked anymore.  No reason to.
Link Posted: 8/14/2014 12:26:14 AM EDT
[#45]
Im still trying to find a reasonably priced Light Modified choke.

My brake came with a full choke so im hoping to find a Light Modified to try out and most likely stick with that and use the full once in awhile

Like said above, no choke is a waste.

Muzzle brakes on shotguns are mildly effective at best.
I tried the CSS clone of the Russian GK-01 and realized that muzzle brakes are of no real benefit to me.



Others swear by them and that is fine, I'm just not one of them.
