The Vepr 12 is a different starting point than a Saiga 12. Built on an RPK trunnion and heavier-gauge receiver, with a fixed, non-adjustable gas system and factory last-round bolt hold-open, the Molot is a robust, built-to-last, heavy-duty, high-quality tactical shotgun which comes from the factory purpose-built to run the type of high-velocity tactical ammo used in law enforcement and tactical operations. In other words, while we absolutely love this gun, it can be a real beast to shoot in unmodified factory trim.
Transforming this beast into a gun that’s actually a pleasure to shoot is where our services, and experience building low-recoil systems which run a wide variety of ammunition, are particularly unique and valuable with this platform.
As with our other builds we treat stock, or previously modified, Vepr 12s as the raw material for a complete professionally rebuilt, tuned and tested integrated lead delivery system. During this process each gun is taken down to the bare barrel and receiver, with every working component and part of the system carefully honed, tuned, polished, modified and professionally hand-fitted to create the unparalleled performance and reliability Lone Star Arms shotgun builds are renowned for.
Along with the benefits of a significantly improved action and trigger, Lone Star Arms Vepr 12 builds will typically run a much wider range of far less punishing (to the owner) ammunition, from bird shot to low-recoil and full-power tactical buck and slugs.
Additional customization options include our unparalleled, industry-leading low-recoil systems, left-hand and ambidextrous charging handles, barrel work, custom stock assemblies, specialized forends, sights and muzzle brakes, and NFA gunsmithing services.
922(r) compliance
Vepr 12 rebuilds on stock factory guns, or on guns missing one or more required 922(r) compliance parts, will be outfitted with the necessary parts during the rebuild. In addition to a U.S.-made box or drum magazine, which many Vepr owners already have and which counts as three U.S. compliance parts, three more parts are normally required for 922(r) compliance. By default we install those three as a U.S.-made fire-control group (hammer, trigger, and disconnector). If you intend to use foreign-made magazines, please tell us. We will install three additional parts, charged on your quote at flat supplier list price, to bring the part count into 922(r) compliance.
