Vepr SOK carbines
“Vepr” line of carbines are designed for big and ordinary game hunting (amateur and professional).
These models took most parts and components from the predecessor, RPK (heavy barrel, sized receiver, rear sight with lateral correction etc.). Forearm, buttstock and firing mechanism were modified.
Plastic forearm with Weaver rails for Vepr SOK
Buttstock – orthopedic with rubber butt pad. The forearm is without top cover and much longer than original. The height of buttstock comb is optimal for any scope, optical or iron.
Firing mechanism without autofire option, the shape of trigger and sear is changed.
Installation of telescopic buttstock with grip
This line is designed (depending of model) for listed cartridges:
1. 7.62x39;
