Is the VEPR legal here?

[audihenry]

If so, where can I get it?

[Quiet]

It's not listed, so it's an "OLL".
Needs to be made featureless or have a magazine lock.

They pop up every now and then in the WTS forum.
They appear to sell in the $1200-1500 range.

Quiet is correct (as always).

There is a persistent rumor, however, that some small very small subset of some VEPRs may be built on Arsenal SLG- or SLR- receivers - and am unsure if they were re-marked or not. This could lead to "It's listed!" drama that should be avoided.

If you find a VEPR and it's just a VEPR and does not say "Arsenal SLG-xxx" or "Arsenal SLR-xxx" on it you are good to go (assuming configured features suite is OK).

So maybe have this double-checked before ordering/shipping...

Auction sites have them in the $900-1300 range.

Vepr K in .223 or 7.62x39 go for $900 to $1,300, like Quiet said, but the 5.45x39 goes for more, as much as $1,500 and more. The .308 Vepr's are $700 and above.

Bill, I have never heard of this before. That is interesting. There are some SLR milled receivers of Bulgarian origin that are out there. Why they would try to adapt a stamped/RPK trunnion, Russian Vepr parts on there would be beyond me. The stamped line of SLR rifles are all Bulgarian.

Regarding the SLG. I have never come accross this animal, except hearing it was in some book. Maybe the DOJ went off of that book, but again, I have never seen an SLG marked rifle.

hoozaru, if you come accross a listing of RobArm Vepr rifles, it's a obsolete site. RobArm stopped importing them in 2006 (?). Molot in Russian, where the Vepr's were built is no longer in business.
