Russian Weapon Company VEPR Tactical Shotgun Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The Vepr-12 is a multipurpose semi-automatic detachable-magazine shotgun, produced by Molot-Oruzhie Ltd. It is patterned after the original Kalashnikov rifle and built on the heavier RPK light machine gun receiver. Due to the large difference in size between the 7.62×39mm cartridge and 12-gauge shells, the extractor port has been lengthened, allowing the shotgun to eject spent shells without risk of causing a stovepipe malfunction. Like all firearms with the Vepr designation, the Vepr-12 receiver is patterned after that of the RPK light machine gun. The stamped steel receiver is reinforced, thicker (1.5 mm instead of 1 mm), and more heavily constructed than a standard Kalashnikov-pattern rifle. The Vepr-12 also incorporates a unique safety catch and bolt release mechanism. A side folding stock is present on most models; however, Vepr-12 shotguns are offered with fixed stocks as well. Instead of the standard AK safety selector, some Vepr-12 shotguns have an ambidextrous safety that can be manipulated from either side of the receiver. An unusual feature among firearms in the Kalashnikov family, the Vepr-12 sports a last round bolt hold-open mechanism. That is, the bolt locks to the rear of the receiver after the last round has been ejected. To facilitate rapid reloading of the shotgun, a bolt release lever is located inside the trigger guard, allowing the user to release the bolt without breaking grip.

I am truly grateful to be able to get my hands on one of these. This is possibly the best shotgun hands down. I do not have to worry about any gas regulating, gas leaking, slow reloads... Period. Let me guess your looking at a sold out page possibly right

My Vepr 12 is probably the coolest gun I've ever owned. After quick delivery from Bud's I took it to the range for a good workout. Well let me tell you, the Vepr rocks!! I ran cheap target load birdshot and slugs through it all day without one hiccup. I o

When I first saw the VEPR 12 online, I immediately fell in love with it. Bringing 12 gauge onto a military grade AK system is a match made in heaven. I've seen all 'tacticool' VEPR's out there, and had big plans for mine. Then I held it, read the certific

This is a great shotgun. The quality is outstanding - Russian made. There is room for a ton of accessories, but so far none have been necessary. The only negative I've experienced is the fact the magazine release will snap down on your thumb; but it wasn'

Really nice shotgun. Arrived in pristine condition. Cycles all field loads perfectly. Maybe the best tactical shotgun you can buy. Get one while you can. Russian imports are on the decline. Keep in mind, this is NOT the folding stock version of the Vepr 1

Absolutely love this gun, I have added several mods to it from rails to a 25 round drum. You can shoot a ton of slugs out of this thing and your shoulder won’t hurt. It’s easy to take apart and clean. It’s always a head turner at the range!
