Vepr safety lever?

[vit]

Saw this at K-Var . It is for bulgarian milled AK.
Could it be made to work in a .308 Vepr ?

Kreb's actually makes one that is very similar (better, IMO) that he fits on his KTR-03 rifles, which are based on the VEPR receiver.

Does Krebs make their own or is it "store bought"?

Hats off to JIMBO55 for providing the pic, and Hootbro for gettin' it on this thread. :D

Vit, more than likely that is a Marc Kreb custom made piece. I'm not sure if he sells this as a stand alone part, but if you're interested in getting one, give him a call @ 847-487-7776. Either Brian, or Marc himself will be able to answer any questions you might have. All I know is the one on my KTR-03 works really smoooooth!

Are stamped and milled receiver safety levers(w/o left side lever) the same ?

The left side safety lever is most likely Bulgarian made only. K-var lists it as a new item, made in Bulgaria and used on Bulgarian army special forces rifles.

There is no difference between safety levers of milled and stamped receiver AK`s, this lever will most likely fit a stamped receiver also. Krebs probably does not actually make any parts in house, they most likely contract out to have the KTR rear sight/mount base and the gas block made. It would be too cost prohibitive for them, unless they just happened to have a cnc mill, which they would choke on the price, they are hundreds of thousands $, just to make 2 unique items, they do not have a cnc.
