Vepr stock change and mods?

[Tattoo]

Hey all,

I am looking for an Open shotgun. The new Vepr's available have a metal stock. Can it be easily changed to another fixed stock? Do mags fit like an AR? Are other mods needed initially?

Thanks

There is nothing offered at the present that adapts to the swing mechanism... I thought I'd get the tack welded folder instead of the cheepo wooden stock > (which is easier to adapt any AK/AR stock to)... my mistake. I assumed that the folder had all the latest upgrades?, but apparently there was nothing much to improve?. I did add a stop to the cheek rest to keep it from moving while shooting.... 1st time out at a match and I was finding my cheek on bare metal...NOT good!. Go to Vepr.com or the Sagia 12/Vepr site for more info... I'm "mikeAZ" at either one, (I've tried to be a good reporter on my "Vepr" journey). EZ 922 compliant parts are pretty much the same as for the Saiga 12 , except for the mags,... (different follower) There have been a few offers for an even up trade but the "wooden" stock was $200 less than the folder, not a good deal in my mind.... Are you on the pre-order list for the 25 rd. drum? ...it's pretty close now....I was impressed the 1st. time in a match... 5 rd., 10 rd., 12rd., mags were flawless. She ran like a clock thru 4 stages... 1255 fps x 71/2 shot x 1 oz... plus all low velocity slugs & #9 buckshot. Need any more info?, PM me. Mike in AZ...ain't NO stinking snow here !!!!.

Hey thanks for the help. That's what I was afraid of with the metal stock.....and they just sold out of the normal stocks in December...

So would you go with a Saiga if you had to do again? Or just wait for the normal stocked Vepr to come back in stock?

Thanks
