Item Description: Russian Molot VEPR AK 7.62x54R NIB V-54R Walnut stock

Appears as New-In-Box (NIB) and never fired and in excellent condition throughout. I picked this up recently at an estate auction.

This is a premium, high quality and high powered, gas operated Russian hunting rifle. It indeed feels wonderful in your hands, light and very well balanced and aims superbly with an easy & perfect cheek weld. It’s actually fairly awesome really, but you probably have to hold and aim one to believe or understand that I’m not exaggerating. The bolt action is also very smooth and supple. It’s a very sweet rifle, no doubt about it.

Some people seek to convert these into Extra Heavy Duty tactical AK style configurations as many modifications are possible through existing and new AK style accessories that have been developed and made available to fit the HD VEPR receiver.

The box indicates it is a WPA Model # V-54R-20.5-THUMB-S with an April 2015 MFG date

These have been banned from further importation since 2017 due to expanded US Government sanctions on the Russian firearms industry and the Molot company that makes these rifles. It’s widely believed that these particular sanctions will never be lifted, therefore the Molot VEPR rifles already in the US now are each indeed collector items. But if you are interested in this rifle you probably already knew about all that…

If you want to do a deep dive then here is a story about those sanctions that now ban this rifle from further import: https://www.ammoland.com/2017/07/vepr-ban-video/

This rifle indeed has the proper side roll mark as follows:

MOLOT-ORUZHIE LTD.
VYATSKIE POLYANY RUSSIA

Specs:
-7.62x54r caliber semi-auto gas operated with 3 lug rotating bolt
-RPK-type machine gun extra heavy duty receiver
-20.5" Hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel
-Chrome-lined chamber and bore
-Beautiful Walnut thumbhole stock and forearm furniture

Includes:
-One five round magazine included, additional 10 round mags appear still readily available separately online.

-Original box includes cleaning rod in original packing, but has no manual.

From somewhere on the internet:
“Built on the same standard as the RPK style machine guns, VEPR is 50 percent more reinforced than a standard, stamped AK rifle. It has been manufactured using state of the art technology, effectively creating a heavier duty piece that will last through not just a lifetime but for many generations to come. The RPK-style barrel is hammer forged and chrome lined using techniques that make them four to five times stronger than a standard AK or RPK barrel. The stiffer receiver serves to greatly increase the accuracy of the platform. The VEPR costs more for a reason - It is simply the finest Kalashnikov based rifle available in the U.S. market.”

How to complete a deal:
I can meet in/near Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Blairsville, Dawsonville or Jasper only with Ellijay preferred.

DL and/or GA WCL pic preferred at time of sale.

Should go without saying, but you must be legal to own a gun in Georgia and affirm the same is true at time of transaction.

Cash only, no trades considered please. Direct bank transfer only if I’m having it shipped to your FFL.

If shipped, there will also be an additional $50. surcharge on top of all necessary shipping and insurance fees, of which you 100% will also need to pay.
