Give it time and they will come down in price.
Trying to get on the no fly list, one post at a time.
A $900.00 Hunt'n look AKM that doesn't take standard cap mags?
I would be almost into a .308 AR for that kinda cheese.

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.

Very sharp but 820 better then eaglearms (local) had got them in a few weeks ago he marked them up to 920 I still might get the .308
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.
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 dont know but I think my Yugo RPK is just as thick as that Russian..

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

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.
Doobie Doobie Doo..

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