    I like that a lot!

    Too bad the VEPRs are done for the foreseeable future.

    That looks great, might have to do that to mine!

    I've been wanting to do one of the 23" barreled versions in the Dragunov configuration but haven't had the play money lately...

    I like what you did! Been trying to justify the $400 for the SVD stock set from Ironwood for my .308 VEPR while at the same time spend about the same for an Aimpoint for my ARX100.

    One of the few times being retired is slowing me down! Nope, wouldn't trade it for anything!!!

    Didn't exactly shoot for accuracy, but it has potential - even with the short sight radius. May get a PRO for it.
    That's a TAPCO Saiga handguard I modified - an Ironwood or Rhineland would have been nice, but this was cheaper. That and I like the feel of a properly positioned Magpul AFG.
    I was going to do a traditional AK handguard, but the gas tube on V2 ruined it for me - no easy way to fix that. I even got a bolt on retainer... no dice.

    That is one good looking rifle! Probably the best looking VEPR I've ever laid my eyes on.
