Glad to see them offering different options.

Now if we can just get one with an RPK barrel.

Interesting. I see that it doesn't have the hole on the selector side of the receiver. I wonder why they omitted it?

Meh, much rather see one with a triangle folder.  There has always been something about this Molot stock just doesn't look right to me.  I already have a couple VEPR's the only way I'm buying another is if they come out with a triangle folder and/or  a 14.5 pinned barrel version with 16.1' overall length(which will likely never happen).

They're not present on the VEPR-12's either. Maybe it's a civilian production thing?

I love Veprs but that folder has always been a turn off for me too - factory correct or not I just don't care for it. I put a 5.5 on my Vepr12 instead of the Molot folder

Yep, I thought so too when I first saw it - ugly stock, no thanks.

Was your 5.5 swap drop in or did it require rear trunion surgery? The release mechanism on this new VEPR looks like more is needed than just adding a front latch.

Gotta say adding some wood, FSB with hooks and a cleaning rod, along with a triangle folder would made this thing the very definition of baddass.

Requires receiver cutting and other mods to do it right. It eats up a lot of time compared to installing one on a Saiga 12 or Saiga rifle.

It was a fixed stock Vepr12 so had to be cut and modified for the 5.5 trunnion and stock. The Molot folder uses a different mechanism to fold and is not compatible with the Izhmash folders but I like you I wanted to be able to add the triangle folder in particular if the mood struck

Molot

Carolina shooters supply sells the M4 adapter for folding VEPR FM and VEPR 12. It works great and you have many options of stocks..... if you aren't into keeping it original Russian.
