Eugh, god I hate VEPRs. Their construction, particularly in the receiver, strays too far from normal AK specs to garner my interest.And are Mosins really that expensive? I got mine for $120, and it was the most expensive of the 8 this guy was selling.

I got mine for $98 incl. tax.

Came with 440 rds of ammo 'n stuff.

To say I bought another +1k rds and shot the everloving soviet shit out of it would be an understatement. It caught on fire twice so far.

So glad I bought a $5 slip-on rubber recoil-pad (originally meant for a shotgun).
-that said, the recoil is still enough to sandpaper your elbows when shooting from a bench (despite Kevlar sleeves).

Do like, will try reloading the cases, then sell the kit after the stock of cartridges are completely exhausted.
