TAC-47 Industries, Mississippi Auto Arms, and Atlantic Firearms are taking pre-orders for the Vepr-12. Not a good time for me to be spending $1K or I'd have one on order....one slick piece.
This is a list of features that Veprs will have from the factory that Saigas don't. Some can be added to a Saiga but other things like some of the chrome lining can't;
Hinged dust cover with a picatinny rail
Molot Self-Regulating Gas System
Molot Laminate Buttstock
Original Molot Competition Magazine Well
Molot Factory AK adjustable rear sight
Molot Original AK enhanced safety lever, single finger operation
Factory chrome lined barrel, chamber, receiver shaft and gas chamber
Factory last round bolt hold open
Factory machined bolt assembly, gas blocks etc. (not cast like other AK shotguns)
Last round bolt hold open
Extended mag release
Integrated front sights
