V.E.P.R. AK Rifles

[Guest 5Legion]

Dude - how is the length of pull on the stock? Short like an AK or longer?

[Guest The Dude]

The length of pull isnt that much more than a warsaw length stock. Maybe 1" or so. prolly about like a NATO length AK stock.

ETA: And the wood on these rifles is gorgeous. Pics dont do them justice.

But to be more specific, the length from the buttstock to the trigger is 14", and on my warsaw length stocks, it is 13" measuring from the same location.

Right on, thanks!

i own a VEPR II imported by robinson before alantic arms. it takes reg,ak mags and out of all my ak it shoots the best. its a little on the heavy side. quility is the best that i have seen for ak's go.

[Guest VEPR74]

Classic Arms sells them already threaded and converted to accept AK 74 mags, and 922 compliant

[Guest VEPR74]

Also the bullet guide on the 5.45x39 guns is bolted and spot welded in from the importer TGI Knoxville, TN...I am a welder, and the quality is right on!!...

I love my Mosin, and most especially that "hammer of Thor" 54r round. The idea of shooting that semi auto is making me drool.

Hi guys, new to the forum as of just now. Thanks for all the info you all have posted. I've been eyeballing these as well. I'm actually going to pick up one this friday, but not sure which one to get. I plan to get the 7.62x54R w/20.5" barrel with the integrated sights. I'm new to AK's as well so please excuse my ignorance.

Do you think the integrated sights would be less accurate than the standard sights? I've also read that the standard sights is Ver. 01 and the integrated sights are Ver. 02...which has a longer gas tube. Do you think the longer gas tube will be an issue down the road?

Lastly, what do you think about the rail listed below? I've seen the centered Molot mounts, but they are about a $100 more. I'm not even sure if the below link will work on this rifle. I'd like the ability to use a scope as well as iron sights, but I dont want to lift my head up a mile to use them like the AR carrying handle scope mount.

I personally don't like the integrated sights. They aren't as adjustable and you can't use the numerous good mounts that use the standard leaf sights if you are so inclined down the road. The only top cover mount that works its the TWS mount and it is awesome!

Stay away from the mount you posted and all like it. They don't hold zero from shot to shot.

[Guest Camar068]

Thx Smith, looks like I need to contact them to ensure they have one that will fit the 54. I don't see anything definitive stating one will fit. I'd seen that one yesterday, but outta my price range (~$50) right now.

Rare indeed is the thread on TGO that doesn't get hijacked to one degree or another, at least you are on topic.

Welcome to TGO BTW!

[Guest The Dude]

The integrated sight models do have different gas tubes. The standard AK tubes are 7 inches in length, and the 02 models are longer. The only problem you would have is if you wanted to convert to use standard AK furniture later on, as a standard tube wouldnt fit. The 01 model will take a standard tube, but will require either removing the tension spring, or taking a little material off the spring to clear the larger ID of the barrel in order to fully seat and allow the tube latch to close and lock it in place.
