What’s Included

Built on the RPK pattern, this Vepr-12 uses a reinforced receiver and bulged trunnion for durability, paired with a gas-operated long-stroke piston system and rotating bolt for reliable cycling. It includes a factory last-round bolt hold-open and a competition-style beveled magwell to speed magazine changes.
The 19" chrome-lined barrel is threaded M22x0.75 RH and comes with a factory thread protector installed. Its 3" chamber supports a wide range of 12 gauge loads, and the shotgun ships with a 10-round magazine for a 10+1 capacity.
Ergonomics and handling features include a left-side folding tubular skeleton stock with rubber buttpad, cheek rest, and rear sling loop, plus a black polymer pistol grip with finger grooves. The right-side AK-pattern charging handle and manual safety selector retain familiar AK-style controls.
Sighting and mounting options are well-supported with a post front sight and an RPK-style adjustable rear sight with dual knurled knobs and a tangent scale. The hinged top cover carries a full-length Picatinny rail. Markings indicate MOLOT-ORUZHIE LTD., Vyatskie Polyany, Russia, with FIME Group as the U.S. importer. Imports ended in 2017 due to sanctions, and this example features matching serial suffix "448" on the bolt and trunnion.
