VEPR 12

[IncendiaryGunner]

Hmm. That is an interesting question. Could an FFL with class 3 have a SBS?

Either way, I can't get my hands on one since they are illegal in Indiana.

I never realized that...

We can still have AOW's, right?

No SBS's?

I am angry...

if your a Class 3 dealer you can get a post dealer sample SBS as long as you can get a request letter from the local PD. Corey has/had an 870 SBS.

I guess I still wonder the physical portion of my original question - if I were to have someone shorten the barrel to just over 18", how significant would the gas system alteration be?

Seems like I will have to settle for 18.5" or so - if that is even worth the work.

I believe these are 19". Shortening it to 18" wont hurt anything.

For some reason after poking around the internet for the barrel length of the incoming VEPR 12's, I believed these to be 23".

If these have 19" barrels then I guess I can live with that without modification.

I believe 18.5" is the minimum.

Yeah, all of you guys that pre-ordered before me please let me know when you get an update - since from what I read they ship them by when you placed your pre-order.

Write your representative, it might help.

The "no SBS's in Indiana" thing is re-damn-diculous. The shortest you can go is 18" however most manufacturers stop at 18.5 just to be safe. You can shorten your shotgun to 18" without any major gas issues. If you want to go shorter and pin a flash hider or something on, you'll need to press out the barrel first, then cut it down to 17 or whatever, then add your permanently attached flash hider before reinstalling your barrel.

Here is my favorite Saiga SBS. Looks like a Suchka on steroids

The only way I could see getting around the SBS thing is if you permanently attached a suppressor, and cut the length of the can off of your barrel.

By my count we have 10 people in this thread that have pre-ordered a VEPR 12.

That could make for a real awesome shoot, and an envy inspiring video...

Did not receive a confirmation, so upon request I re-entered my order. Probably forgot to allow through no-script would be my guess.

Really glad I caught that too... if they only had 1,000 I would have missed out.

 

[Tydeeh22]

at least ya got your order in.
