I own Satans shotgun.

Welp I scratched another itch. I swiped my cc at classic firearms for a vepr 12.

Any of you guys have experience with these? Ive read mixed things about out of box reliability concerning low brass cycling. From what I have read its been more positive than negative.

For you owners and previous owners, what should I know about these?

UPDATE:
Going to test her out tomorrow...My last 4 digits of the SN are 6666. The last 3 digits are stamped on numerous portions of the gun...It must be an evil black gun. :naughty:

Oh man, let me sbs it first! Lol. I guess i would have to have it cut and threaded to one of the popular choke tube patterns? i could still get a protruding breacher brake if i got it re worked and cut for the rem 870 threads.

+1 for the vepr12 I had two of them both cycle well with low brass

I took mine out for the first time last week and bought a crap load of different shells to test and it ran everything just fine. The target shells didn't eject very far, but they still cycled just fine. I also have the GK-01 brake on mine and what a difference that thing makes. I was shooting 1 1/2 oz slugs out of it and the recoil was pretty mild considering. I did have problems with the SMG mags though. They were causing some misfeeds at points. It sucks that factory 8 and 10 round mags are $80+.

I've never heard of vepr cycling issues. Saiga... Deffinately. My vepr runs good. Only time ive ever had a failure to eject is when i didnt beat enough rust off some old low brass shells!!

Also concerning mags. I cut the lug off a saiga mag and did a little sanding. Works perfectly!

Actually this something i did on a whim. So no links. Basically what I did was cut and sand the front lug off with a dremal and then smooth it out by hand.

Although it function flawlessly, I added a little electrical tape to tighten it up in the vepr mag well.

I've put probably 5 boxes of shells through the modified mag. No issues thus far.

I love mine. The only issue i have had is that some times the cheap o shells get stuck between the FSB and the receiver.
I also recently took the time to convert it to 922r complaint and broke to weld of the folding stock.
But what is better than a mag fed semi auto shotgun? (except for maybe a fully auto one)

Looks like it works....any reason you went with a modified S12 mg over the aftermarket SGM optiin for the Vepr 12?

Crimson · Feb 3, 2015

I guess I have God's Ar-15 then. I've got a lower with the last three digits 777.

Nice shotgun though I've got an unconverted saiga 12 and have been eyeballing the vepr

Think what you could do if you take your VEPR + Dragon's Breath ammo.............
