Came across this guy: http://www.k-var.com/shop/VPR-101.html

 

Wondering if they are legal in NJ. Don't see why they wouldn't be but k-var is pretty clear they don't ship to NJ unless stated. The NJ compliant rifles are way out of budget if they are in stock. Any word?

 

Thanks

As far as I understand - yes.

Vepr has no pistol grip, no bayonet lug and no muzzle device.

I think you don't have any issues with this sporter as long as you don't attach mag over 10 rounds, than it will have to comply with 922r

k-var= aresenal...Arsenal= K-var

they will ship only nj compliant guns here

If you want a non compliant gun, ship it to Adco and have them neuter it

I own one .. No problem with the transfer. Very accurate rifle . It's a little on the heavy side because of the thumb hole stock, heavy barrel and rpk reciever. It also would require a little work to accept standard ak style mags. I shot it back to back with an arsenal sgl24 and was very happy that I went with the vepr

Thanks for the responses. I'm looking for something compliant out of the box as I have a FFL dealer who basically does transfers for me as a favor for just NICS.

Moto: What kind of work? The biggest thing holding me back is mag availability. If I got it in .223, any idea if it could be made to accept pmags?

I have it in 7.62x39. You have to install a bullet guide which kvar has in stock. After you install the guide you need to dremel mag catch just a hair as well asvthe front of the vepr mags if you still want to use the 10rd it came with. The guys at kvar can tell you if it is the same for .223. I got mine from kvar. it was fast and easy and they have the lowest price

Vepr magazines are not cheap, but available (made in Russia, so must be kind of "forever" type), this is one of many places who sells them: http://www.jgsales.c...32_190_732.html

 

Again, if you are planning go use mags over 10 rounds, you will have to comply with federal 922r (in your case change 5 or 6 parts to US made if I'm not mistaken). I'm not sure if AR type magwell will change qualification of your rifle.

 

I know there are mag well attachments for AK types to accept AR mags, eventually could be done for Vepr, but those are pricey and need gunsmith work. Some of those attachments were glitchy. There is one believed to be working well performed by Definitive Arms.

A conversion on an existing Saiga .223 (you send us a saiga) will be between $300-$550 depending on the exact work to be performed (lots of options)

Thanks for the info guys, I'll be sure to follow up with more questions when I pick up from my FFL!

do NOT need a gunsmith

NOT glitchy if done RIGHT....

 

this is a Saiga I built that takes AR15 mags..

 

not sure if it will work in a Vepr... but definitely not hard OR glitchy.. thing ran GREAT

 

Only the bayonet lug needs to be shaved on this? Nothing else to be NJ compliant? The description is very vague on their website.

If you are asking about Vepr - it's compliant out of the box. It's a sporter rifle and doesn't have any "evil" features besides detachable magazine.

Thank you... I should have looked closer at the picture. They have a section for NJ/NY compliant and it was not in there, so i assumed there was something non-compliant with it, I guess they are too busy to organize everything.

Veprs are probably the biggest gem there is when it comes to NJ complaint AK variants.

They are basically a heavy duty RPK in a civilian/sporterized configuration.

The best AK type money can buy in my opinion.

Whoops - compliant, not complaint.
