    Agreed.

    I'd like to know if they plan to import the Super Vepr or the Vepr Pioneers ...
    The Vepr .308 I own is an "above and beyond" rifle as far as AKs go. I love it.

    Are these the SAME Veprs imported by Robarms a few years back?

    I'm trying to get excited about that- but a 16.5" bare muzzle is going to generate mega flash with .308. Then you've got a long RPK receiver with a long buttstock ending up with a really, really long weapon with a short flashing barrel.

    I'd rather get a 21" Saiga and go to work on it- cut the barrel to 18", thread it, flash hider then convert the rear end to AK config, put a TWS dog leg or Kerbs rail on it and I'd probably only be a little over what a stock VEPR costs.

    All the above and thicker sheet metal.

    However, $840 is steep.

    saw a table full of these at the gun show yesterday.

    they look very well put togther. definately a high quality ak.

    the design, however, does nothing for me. ill pass.

    I would buy one in a heart beat. No doubt about it. I've been waiting for something in semi 7.62x54R to came out besides the PSL for YEARS.

    From the other board.
    Atlantic Firearms

    Yes we will be offering them in 3 configurations
    #1 Basic configuration as comes from Mother Russia $840.00 list price , we will be offering a discount to Verfied AK Fourm members please email for details & mention your user name.
    #2 The basic rifle with Russian wood stock set but able to take hi cap US mags.
    #3 The Vepr rifle with Ace Side folder stock,AK pistol grip , front poly tri rail hand guard and able to take imported hi cap mags.

    We do have the basic Vepr 762 x 39 in stock now & I have never been a fan of the thumbhole stock but these wood stock sets fit like a glove and are very well balanced rifles.
    We do not have a final prices on # 2 & 3 at this time but hope to see some of them in approx 2-3 weeks the Veprs are not a inexpensive AK platform & are probably for the advanced AK collector or the AK shooter that is looking for a over built & accurate AK.

    Vepr in 5.45x39 & 762 x 54 R will be here in approx 3 -4 months

    +1 Though the price is a bit steep I'd like one in 7.62x54r. Got tons off ammo in that caliber and it would be easier to scope than my SVT40.

    Depending on what the 7.52x54R is like and how much it runs I amy get one of those. I like the 7.62x54R round. Any idea what kind of mags that version feeds from? 20 round mags would be nice but I have not heard of such a thing.

    Someone ought to tell the picture caption maker the one in the middle isn't even sheet metal. Those darn Bulgarians used a hunk of cheap steel and milled it out of one piece, who would want that?

    My Yugo M-70 is as thick as that Russian RPK... (possibly even thicker?).

    They are still out there, I recently picked one up in 223 on gunbroker for 700 used but in great shape. One trip to the range and I was a happy camper

    And to think a few years ago I passed on a 308 VEPR that was priced at $500 cash!

    He does refer to the bulgarian as AK 47, and the Romanian as AKM 47.

    Here is my Vepr. The .308 Super Vepr with an IOR scope and a BRT-8 silencer. Bit heavy for hunting, but its a lot of fun. Pretty darn accurate too.
