VEPR semi auto rifle, 7.62x54R, new in box

Description

Many shooters think of AK-variants in a military context, but the semi-auto Vepr rifle as imported by Wolf Performance Firearms is built at the Vyatskie Polyany Machine-Building Plant (MOLOT) in Russia specifically as a hunting rifle. The plant was founded in 1940 mainly for producing the PPSh, and then in the 1950s and ’60s production included the Kalashnikov light machine gun, or RPK. The RPK can generally be thought of as a more heavy-duty version of the Kalashnikov, and in 1994 MOLOT saw the value of using its action as the basis for the Vepr hunting rifle.

This Russian made is new in the box, never fired.    This rifle was made at the Vyatskie Polyany Machine Building Plant (MOLOT) in Russia.  Its caliber is 7.62X54R.  With 50% more HEAVY DUTY receiver than a standard AK pattern rifle, double reinforced barrel trunnion and extra heavy duty chrome lined 23″ target barrel  this is a quality and durable rifle.
