I just snagged one. It seems likes a good deal. You get either 100 rounds 00Buck or 100 rounds of slugs with it. Where do you get your mags if you have one of these?
ETA: 7/1: Picked it up at the FFL. Got a KAC grip via EE and a magpul rail to attach to the bottom of the handguard. Now to go shoot it, this weekend... |

good price, they were jacked up for a while there
as for mags, that's one reason I don't have one yet, things are pricey |

Quoted: SGM Tactical makes 10 and 12 rounders, hard to find in stock View Quote $46.95 - 12 round SGM $41.95 - 10 round SGM $39.95 - 10 round SGM $41.99 - 12 round SGM |

It looks like Csspecs makes them. I use their Saiga 308 mags, they're the best ones I've found (by far).
Csspecs |

I picked up some of the blem/return 8 round csspecs mags for $30 each. They were advertised as needing fitting but all four worked perfectly out of the box. Great mags, all steel and I expect them to last a lifetime, built like tanks.

Quoted: They make a pretty good polymer mag for the Vepr line. Try Ky Imports. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: SGM Tactical makes 10 and 12 rounders, hard to find in stock They make a pretty good polymer mag for the Vepr line. Try Ky Imports. |

Unlike our previous VEPR-12's this latest version has a Factory Fixed Position Butt Stock, with no welded hinge mechanism. View Quote Still buy it I love mine they are fantastic and thats a good price. |

Has anyone used a recoil pad like this on a VEPR? It's on the ATI site but I'm wondering if it'll fit on the stock that comes with the shotgun. I know I'm getting the grip.

Mine seems to kick a lot more than I expected, in particular compared to my Saiga which I would've figured would be about the same. Maybe its just the buttstock. |

I keep sort of wanting one of these, but I don't know why.
Those that have them, what do you use it for? Is it just for blowing up appliances and destroying the walking dead? I have a VEPR in 54R and I love it. I've taken a few critters with it. |

You answered your own question I've tried trap with it and the saigas, they work, but its just not as nice as a regular trap gun. For hunting most things the extra mag capacity is illegal. It puts it squarely in the 'fun and awesome and maybe practical for HD' category for me personally. YMMV. |

CSS Specs 8 round metal mags are made seriously well, but may require fitting to a gun. The SGM mags may need some work to run..I still haven't gotten my 12 rounders to run 100%

If I wasn't selling shit to pay off bills, I'd buy one.
That is fucking sweet! |

nice! love mine, I'm going to explode some water bottles with it on the 4th with my brother in law. He's in college and only really has experience with fudd guns. So I'm going to take him shooting and bring along my PTR-91 SBR, M92 AK SBR, the VEPR 12, and a few other guns TBD.

I agree with that, compared to my Saiga 12 my Vepr 12 kicks a lot. I went and shot about 75rs through the Vepr and my shoulder looked like someone hit it with a meat tenderizer. I put one of these on it it and all is well: https://www.legionusa.com/xl-buttstock-shock-absorber.html ETA: The Veper was very sensitive to placement of an Eotech on the dustcover rail, too far forward caused failure to eject malfunctions (it appeared that the hulls would hit the sight and not clear the ejection port). It is also not as accurate with slugs as a Saiga 12. The Saiga will clover leaf the Fiocchi 7/8 oz slugs at ~75yds, and the Vepr struggled to keep them on an IPSC metric target. |

Bought one when they were import banned and ended up selling in the spring. It's was a neat gun but just an expensive thing to shoot buckets, since I don't hunt, do competitions , or whatever.
Good price I sold mine for 1050 with 2 sgm mags which I had 950 in it. |
