ok vepr experts. I saw an interesting rifle at the last funshow. the vendor said it was a .223 vepr with an RPK receiver and two mag's constructed with a redish composit material. the asking price was 700 but he would sell for 650. the receiver did say vepr but I did not take anymore info, other than it was a heavier than usual AK. I'm sure he will be at the next show so my question is, does this sound right? the dude seemed a little too bent on selling the rifle so not knowing much about that rifle I passed. I have kicked myself in the ass for holding back in the past but better safe than sorry. so what you say arf...deal or no deal?

Check to see if the redish mags have raised rear sections in the followers. RobArm sold $6 223/556 followers to adjust the stack angle of 556 in the curved 545 mag. Bbl is a full .8" to gas block, helping mine get 2" on any crap ammo, and 1.5" on nice ammo. Good 2-stage fcg, funny stock does handle very well (great offhand form), takes Harris bipod just fine. Unless the extra 1.5lbs of RPK beef is a deal killer (bought mine from a guy who got fed up with the carry weight) BUY one of the best shooting AKs made. 2 converted mags are $30, mine also takes Bulgy waffles and 556 Beryls. |
well, I did have said rifle in my hands at the last funshow, but the dude got pissed and raised the price 100 bux when I started the price negotiation. I guess I must have offended him.  anyway I'll be keeping an eye out for another.Thanks for the info...any other info / advice on the purchase of a vepr would be welcome! |
